About

Talk2Owner

Features
Read full description

Talk2owner users can provide objects with a Talk2owner sticker or label. A Talk2owner label contains a unique QR code that a passer-by can easily scan to directly contact the owner of the object anonymously. In this way, the owner is quickly aware of any remarks around his object. Think of a car whose lights are still on, a bicycle that is in the way, a lamppost that is defective or a lost object.
