## What is RespondASAP?

RespondASAP makes messages unmissable between people that matter, since important messages shouldn’t be missed.

Not only does RespondASAP sound a constant alarm when your message arrives (even with the phone on silent), it will show you when they have read it.

What RespondASAP does: 
If you are frustrated that your calls or text messages are missed or not seen because the person you are calling has their phone on silent all the time, then this is the app for you.

When you download the app, you connect to the person that you want to send messages to. They have to have accepted your invitation before you can send them messages, so make sure you let them know that you've sent the invite, or your app will wait on the "bundles" screen until they accept.  As soon as they accept then all features will become active.

Once you send a message you will know that:
- your messages you send them will appear over whatever they are doing 
- make the alarm sound on their phone, even if the phone is on silent (provided the app is running in the background)
- if the app is not running in the background, multiple notifications will be sent
- you will know when they have acknowledged the message (they have to press a 'cancel' button in the message in order to silence the alarm)


RespondASAP allows you to set the time that the message arrives – by default it will be immediately - so that you have the security that they will see your message when it is relevant. 

In order to function correctly the recipients phone needs to be in normal phone mode i.e. not on power save mode and RespondASAP needs to be open in the background.  If the phone is not in normal mode then the message will arrive as a standard notification until the recipient opens the notification (then the alarm will sound)

The app works across all major mobile device platforms and is translated into Hindi, Latin American, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Arabic with more languages to follow 

If you have any questions, rather than leaving a negative review, in the first instance please email me at nick@respondasap.co.uk, I'm always happy to help.

### 1/5 — Great idea poor app

*2022-07-09*

App is a pain to setup. Nothing works, messages for setup don’t come through. Using a code to register another person doesn’t work. Just asks them to buy the plan again. No support is available
