New Mobile App allows users to crow-source Roadside Assistance - Anyone can help or get help from anyone nearby
Highway Hand has started a Kickstarter Campaign to raise funds to built some key functionality for their mobile app - Highway Hand Mobile app allows users to put a flag in system and request help from anyone near by. App is in Beta version and the kickstarter campaign is raising funds for official release.
- Dallas, TX (1888PressRelease) June 06, 2016 - A startup in the heart of the country has started to build a mobile app that allows its users to request roadside assistance from anyone. Highway Hand is a first of its kind, peer to peer roadside assistance mobile app. Users can sign up to get help from anyone nearby or users can choose to help other people needing roadside assistance.
When requiring roadside assistance, users (Helpees) are able to put up a flag using the safe and secure Highway Hand mobile app. If you know what the problem is, you can add those details for more specific help. The app finds and notifies trusted nearby users (Helpers) that are able and willing to help with that particular problem. All requests to helper are anonymous, and exact location of the Helpee is never shared until both parties agree to the services.
"The basic truth is, you do not have to be a rocket scientist to change a tire or jump start a car." Said Hamza, the CEO of Highway Hand, Inc. "More than 80% of car troubles involve a quick fix that anyone can help with. Then why wait for hours and spend on costly services when anyone can lend a hand". According to the CEO, the app is not only for good Samaritans but can be used by anyone - an auto mechanic wanting to make extra income on the side by providing basic roadside assistance. Even professional roadside assistance service providers can list their services on the app giving consumers greater choice.
After 1-year in development, Highway Hand mobile app is in Beta version. Before the launch, the company seeks to raise funds on Kickstarter to add some key functionality that will help the platform make more secure to use - such as phone verification and geo-tracking.
In less than two days since the Kickstarter campaign was launched, the idea has gained great traction on social media and has already reached 20% of its funding goal.
