I love being able to lend a hand. Just like the instructional video says, you'll get notifications like a phone call, from those who need help. I have gotten 6 calls in 3 years for help with tasks from adjusting the thermostat, identifying medication or documents, and grabbing the right outfit piece. it is an amazing idea, and it notifys multiple people at one time too, so you dont have to feel bad if you can't answer, or didnt hear/feel it ring/vibrate.

I'm only giving 5 stars up there because it's a good idea and probably helps a bunch of people.... but I've gotten 3 calls and it's so hard to answer!! the notification pops up someone is calling but you can click on it at all you have to go to the app and then I hit the green answer button in the app 10 times and it always gets answered by someone else. I wish the notification would pop up and you could just tap answer or at least take you to the app!!!

I absolutely love this app! Only downside is that I hardly ever get any calls. I've had this downloaded for well over a year now. All together I believe I've gotten maybe 5 calls. I understand the ratio from those that need the help, to people helping. Maybe we can all put in our availability, and then the lines would be open to those that are available. Just a suggestion.
