Should their help be required when “on call,” they will receive a push-notification on their device that a request for support has been made and they are asked to login.• The application enables members who have met face-to-face and have a trusted relationship wirelessly to exchange contact information that will help to identify them when using the service in the future. In other words, when a list of helpers is displayed, the contacts will be at the top of the list.• The application shows the support person’s city or, with the use of GPS, how far away they are. This feature will make face-to-face meetings of trusted peers easier. When the list of helpers comes up, it will first display helpers who are contacts and then display others nearby.• The application is password-protected so that casual viewing of the application, owner contents or contact information is impossible.• The application includes a scrollable list of URLs for many of the 12 Step programs that have a website. This allows a user to locate many face-to-face meetings, conference calls, or moderated chat groups.The iPhone may be used on WiFi, 3G and Edge networks. The iPod may be used on WiFi networks.Devices that do not support Bluetooth networking (short distance wireless data exchange) will not support the exchange of contact information. The ann-e iPhone app includes a detailed and easy to read information page.
