コインランドリーの待ち時間に、洗濯のコツを教え合おう 洗濯機が回っている 30 分、乾燥が終わるまでの 40 分。 コインランドリーの待ち時間を、洗濯の悩みを解決する時間に変えるアプリです。 ■ 生まれたきっかけ 私たちはもともと、洗濯に役立つ情報を発信していました。 けれど「この汚れは何で落ちる?」「この素材は乾燥機にかけていい?」といった悩みは、人によって、服によってさまざまです。 一方的に発信するよりも、実際に洗濯をしている人どうしが話して教え合うほうが、リアルで役に立つ情報が手に入るのではないか。そう考えて、人と話せる機能をつくりました。 ■ 待ち時間に、話して教え合う ・ビデオ通話/音声通話:「この汚れ、どう落とした?」を、実物を見せながら相談できます ・メッセージ:通話の前の挨拶や、聞きそびれたことの確認に ・プロフィール:得意な洗濯や、よく行くコインランドリーの地域を書いておけます ・足あと・お知らせ:誰が見てくれたか、反応してくれたかが分かります ■ 洗濯そのものも、もっと便利に ・コインランドリーマップ:今いる場所から、近くのコインランドリーを地図で探せます ・お天気:郵便番号を入れるだけで、今日が外干し日和か分かります ・リマインダー:洗濯や乾燥の終わる時間を、通知でお知らせします。待ち時間に話し込んでも、取り忘れません ■ ご利用について ・18 歳以上の方のみご利用いただけます ・通話は、ポイントを使う有料の機能です。ポイントはアプリ内課金で購入できます ・迷惑な相手は、通報・ブロックできます
