What a wonderful app!

Just had my first call and I was able to help a user organize their documents. It was amazing that I was able to help someone oceans away! The app was very easy to use. I just wish there were some mute options so I could prevent background noise from affecting the call when the user was speaking. But this was still amazing!
Great source of Dopamine rush!

I just had my first call today, and it immediately lifted my spirits for having such a bad day. I am blessed to have been able to help someone the way I did, even if they are physically so far away. You are doing a great thing here!
not receiving any calls, can’t adjust schedule availability
DeleteThisUselessApp
Good concept, but I downloaded it like a month ago and I’ve only got one (missed) call so far. Not sure what’s going wrong. Also I work in the evenings and need to sleep during the day so it would actually be so much more convenient to be able to adjust the time this app shows me as active. Otherwise the ringing would wake me up when I need to rest. :(Thinking of deleting since it takes up space but hardly gets used.
