U AROUND GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEND AND RECEIVE IMPORTANT NOTIFICATIONS, REACHING OUT TO FRIENDS, FAMILY MEMBER OR COLLEAGUES THROUGH YOUR PHONE DURING A TIME OF NEED. YOU WILL INSTANTLY BE NOTIFIED TO DISCUSS WHAT YOUR NEEDS ARE, WHERE YOU ARE, OR HOW YOU CAN HELP.
On the U AROUND app, if you have an item or items that you no longer want and think that, say, one of your closest family members might need, you can send a notification explaining exactly what you would like to donate. You can send this to one or as many of your contacts as you like. When your contacts respond, it is at your discretion whom you give the object to, and also how you arrange to get the item or items to your chosen recipient. Remember, just because someone responds that they want the item or items, it doesn’t mean they are the one you necessarily have to give the item or items to.
U AROUND works like this:
We all find ourselves in a tough spot.
Sometimes your need is urgent, because you aren’t feeling safe where you are.
There are times you need a ride back to your home, apartment, or dorm room AND you would feel safer riding with someone you know or trust.
Maybe you need help with running errands or moving something.
When you are in need of help or assistance, you can send a U AROUND notification to any of your U AROUND specified contacts.
U AROUND can also be used quickly to notify family members and friends to come over for a social gathering.
U AROUND is simple to use, just click on one or many or of your contacts and tell them what you need. You will have the ability to see who is nearby and can immediately assist you (as long as your contact has allowed you to see their location with the map provided in the U AROUND app).
• You can send a notification privately to one or as many of your contacts as you wish. It’s up to you to choose who you want to reach out to, because you will have the ability to see who is nearby.
• All communication will be strictly between the person sending the notification and the person responding. No one has access to anyone else’s messages.
• The only people who will see you sending or receiving a notification are the contacts who have accepted to connect with you. Even though you may send a notification to multiple contacts, they won’t be able to see who else you have reached out to.
• All communication will be strictly between the person sending the notification and the person receiving it. No more bothersome group texts or mass messages with phone numbers or people you don’t know! No one has access to anyone else’s notifications. The more people you reach out to, the more likely it is you will someone who is available.
The app can also work when traveling, but you must be at least 18 years old to use it.
U AROUND is not intended for use in an emergency situation, or in place of 911.
