About Friend Alert

FriendAlert: Keep Your Friendships Thriving, No Matter How Far Apart

Life's adventures lead us to friendships that cross cities, countries, and even continents. While

these connections add immeasurable value to our lives, keeping them vibrant across distances can be

a challenge. Born from this universal struggle, FriendAlert is your go-to solution for keeping those

important friendships alive and well.

Functions

The application offers a simple reminder to remember to contact your friends: you can set how often you

want to keep in touch and every time you call a friend you can record that inside the app. If you

do not call one of your friends for a time longer than the limit you set, you'll be sent a notification.

🌍 Your Central Hub for Global Friendships

Whether your friendships were formed on the playground or during an international journey,

FriendAlert functions as your unified platform for sustaining these invaluable bonds. With

FriendAlert, neither miles nor time zones can weaken your connections.

alternatives when that's not feasible.

Texting, though convenient, falls short in conveying emotional nuance and should not be your

What's new in 1.2.0

- The contact notes are displayed when tapping on a contact - The synchronization with the Android contacts should now be more reliable
