Is there an app...?

No, but theres pretty big switch on the phone, which indicates on or off for silent mode. It's on the left hand side of your phone and is the best indicator I know of.
Why would there be an app for this? It only takes a quick second to check the left side of your phone where your volume buttons are and see if it's in vibrate/silent mode or not.
I know there's a big switch. Issue is I put it in silent mode and forget about it being in silent mode. Was hoping there was some sort of software/feature (sorry for calling it an APP) available that would put an indicator on the display, like in airplane mode does.
Apple would not allow an App like this onto the App Store.
It's unfortunate that they don't have an option to put something on the screen when the phone is in silent mode.
I personally resort to toggling the switch to see if it vibrates.
My switch is hidden under my Otterbox flap. It's easy to forget it was put on silent. I have my phone set to vibrate also because I'll turn down the volume on apps and then my ringer is off.
