Description
Updated with bug fixes
Travel Hands App is designed to ease the outdoor commute of VIP (Visually Impaired People) by pairing them with sighted & verified volunteers to walk together to similar destinations ensuring a safe, convenient, and inexpensive travel experience. The app can be easily used by a VIP using screen reader software or zoom functions. The web-based application and mobile app have been designed following the WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines and following user research and testing with our VIP community.
Travel Hands is a charity, which relieves the needs of people with visual impairments by facilitating safe, convenient, and inexpensive outdoor travel so they can attend formal appointments, recreational activities and community events. A VIP can submit a trip request that is automatically sent to a volunteer near them, alerting the volunteer to their location. The accepting volunteer will then come and pick the VIP up and walk towards the requested destination.
The VIP pay a small fee per journey to get to travel safely, inexpensively and independently outdoors. Volunteers help VIP in a flexible way and walk more. They are vetted by the Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and trained with our online or in-person course.
In the near future, as a Thank You, our volunteers will be rewarded with incentives that can be redeemed from our app. The distance walked with VIP is converted to points, points then converted to goodies as incentives from affiliated companies.
What’s New
Version 1.3.2
26 Nov Built- Review and act on the feedback from Apple.
Bug fix- Location sharing was not working in 1.2 version.
The feature of location sharing through the app with our customer service team during the Travel Hands journeys. So, when the volunteer picks up a VIP, they will start the journey, switch on the location sharing and automatically our back end is notified. This enables the back-end team to track the journey and the location sharing is switched off as soon as the journey is stopped. This feature ensures safety for both VIP and volunteers.
