The recent incidents in Delhi have raised the questions on how to commute daily in safest way. Cabs, once considered as one of the safest travel options are no longer on ‘travel-friendly list of commutation’ for the citizens of Delhi.
Bringing an innovative solution to this problem is a Delhi-based tech start-up Smartube Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. The company has developed an Android app – ‘FrndiNeed’ which suggests people to travel with their friend all the time. And for doing this, you don’t have to call every friend to ask for their location. The app intelligently locates the nearest friends to your location and allows you to chat with them or poke them to plan a ride together. So, next time when you are alone, just open the app and go on a ride together with your friends, states the press release of the company.
‘FrndiNeed’ is a socially enabled app that helps in utilising your geo-location to make every day travel smoother, safer and economically viable. Pronounced as “Friend-in-Need”, this app lets you find your nearby friend and ask them for Lift, Poke them for instant plans or even Plan a Meet Up. Users can also use other features including Packing Planner and press the SOS tab for help in urgent situations, adds the statement.
You can now Request a lift from within the network of FrndiNeed. All you need to do is locate your friend and call or text asking for lift. After your friend accepts your request, the app would help you with route to reach your friend. The SOS Alert is another very useful feature of this app where a SOS message is sent to the contacts on your emergency list while in distress for immediate help.
This app can be downloaded for free from Google Playstore: https://play.google.com/
