And whether or not the app's creator will release this to the public isn't exactly clear at this point, either. Perhaps if you ask nicely enough in the video's comments section that could happen. If anything, it looks a whole lot more practical than grinding in an app to train protagonist Franklin's dog. Maybe best of all? You likely don't have to worry about remembering your Rockstar Social Club password to use it.

Holy schnikies, this dude made an app for his real-life phone that controls the GTA V in-game phone. Brilliant! https://t.co/1fTO1gNA8O - Dave Hinkle (@davehinkle) May 1, 2015
