Now Free! Making calls has never been easier for children and the elderly. We know that children these days seem to know how to use a phone/tablet better than us, but would they know how to phone someone in an emergency..? That question was the inspiration behind our new app, FaceFone. Contacts and emergency services are represented in clear visuals. You can add a new contact by selecting an avatar, or uploading a picture, what could be easier? Feedback has been brilliant and we now know that the app is perfect for the elderly too.
