## What is Bank of Smiles?

A Smile from someone who cares. Whenever you need it. Right in the palm of your hand.

Welcome to the Bank Of Smiles. 

Yes, we're literally a Bank of Smiles. We’ve got a vault full of ‘em, ready and waiting for that moment you need one. And they’re all deposited by people who truly care. Our Smiles are available to anyone, at anytime and for any purpose. No questions asked. Whenever you need to know that you’re seen and that someone’s got your back, reach for the Bank of Smiles. There's no registration required to make a withdrawal, so it's completely safe and anonymous.

Now, when Life's good and you've got a Smile to spare, deposit it in the vault. Just record a quick, 3 second video and before you know it your Smile will be ready and waiting for that person who needs it most - wherever in the world they might be. That's the great thing about a Smile - it's accepted everywhere. 
It’s an acknowledgment of our common humanity, our value as human beings and it connects us all. There’s not a border or language that can compete with it. 

Whether you're on your own, or with family and friends, upload a Smile and via the integrated map, follow it as it travels the world making a difference - one Smile at a time.

Here at the Bank Of Smiles, we're looking after the world's most valuable commodity - each other.

### 2.0 — 2022-09-16

Location Services (coarse)
- In this new version of the App, Users are given the option of enabling Location Services (coarse). This is for App functionality. Exact device location is not received - just the City or Town and Country. And only when the App is being used. 
- When a User makes a 'Deposit' or uploads a Smile video, the video will be tagged with the coarse location. A User who 'Withdraws' or views this Smile, will then be able to see the city or town, and the country the Smile came from. 
- "Track Your Smile". When a User has Location Services enabled and views a Smile, the User who deposited that Smile will be able to see where it was "withdrawn/viewed" via the In-App Map. But not when or by whom - Users remain anonymous. If the User's randomly selected Smile is viewed hundreds of times globally, all these views will appear on their own personal  world map allowing them to see how far their smile travelled.

With the new version, Smiles are only saved for 7 days before they are automatically deleted.

Notification Services. 
- With a simple notification, Bank of Smiles will let Users know when a Smile is about to be deleted (24 hours). They will be encouraged to check on the Smile's progress before it is removed from "the Vault", (and to deposit a new one of course.) 

Family and Friend "Group Smiles" are now possible. Until now we were only accepting videos featuring a single person. 

Smiles continue to be manually moderated, and verified BEFORE being approved for the APP. Safety and Privacy by Design.

### 1.0.1 — 2022-06-28
