Most of you know about my love for technology. I'm an Apple user as they make it so easy to share information with family and other Apple users. All three adults in my family share a calendar ... my events are in grey, my volunteer events in blue, daughter in yellow and son-in-law is red. The boys events are purple. It sure makes life more organized.
A new one for me is SnugSafety. It is a FREE app for your smartphone that will notify your emergency contact(s) if you fail to check in every day?
This is a great choice for anyone who lives alone, no matter the age. Snug will only contact them if you do not check in at the agreed upon time. They will contact YOU first (just in case you forgot). (Snug will also send you reminders so that you don’t forget… 3 hours before scheduled time, 1 hour before, 10 minutes before and 2 minutes after).
They also offer a $20/month plan where you and your contacts get phone calls instead of texts. If you miss your check-in time, a Snug dispatcher will call your cell phone to ask if you’re alright. If you do not answer, they will call your emergency contacts to ask someone to check in on you. If the dispatcher is unable to get confirmation that someone will look in on you, they will request a wellness check. This is where a local authority such as the police, fire department or emergency medical services visit your last known location or home address.
Let me know YOUR favorite app!
I don't use Apps coz I have an Old Cellphone and it takes up too much Data. I have played with Google Lens and like it tho', I don't even know if that's called an App? Tech Challenged I am and it's hard for me to not want to do things Old School rather than High Tech. There's some of it clearly beneficial, and some of it I don't Trust at all... the cynic in me from Years of working for a large DA's Office makes me realize how much of this can be exploited by Criminals.
ReplyDeleteOh, we are total opposites. I don't think I'd last a day without technology. Love learning new things. When reading online it is so easy to research a new word or side track to a related article.
DeleteIt takes all kind of people!
I don't use a lot of apps but one I love is my FitLife that tracks my sleep. I have an old fashion planning book to keep my appointments and calendar in. I tried a phone app to do it but hate typing with those little keyboards which is why I don't like apps in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I want to track my sleep. Why do you? I think it would make me feel tired if I knew how often I wasn't getting enough sleep.
