Believe it or not, there IS a piece of equipment that will do this. It is not an app, but equipment. For decades some police agency Hostage Negotiators have had it available.

It simulates being a cell tower and "captures" all nearby cell phone signals, keeping them from going to an actual tower where they can complete a call.

The purpose is to prevent the bad guys from communicating with anyone other than the negotiators.

Unfortunately, it is not available to the general population, and its use would be illegal anyway. It is illegal to interfere with wire and wireless communications in this manner.
