This is a wonderful idea. I'll never remove this app. The only suggestion I have is it would be good to be able to set active hours as a sighted person. I have to turn notifications off when i go to bed, but may not remember to turn them back on when i get up. If you could set active hours it would be perfect. Also my phone is on silent 95% of the time. I'd love to be able to set this app to still ring even when on silent. Otherwise this is an outstanding app, I'll be recommending to everyone

Amazing Concept I find this concept really amazing. However my phone is on vibrate 90% of the time and calls don't vibrate on this. It would be good if it showed a notification during a call as they can be used by many as a trigger for different actions. It would also be good to be asked to choose availability hours, so that the volunteers don't have to remember to enable notifications when available.

Hi, I haven't had a call for a long time, so have just checked my app to make sure it's all updated, which it is. When I open the app however, there is a red notice at the top saying "turn off background restrictions to receive calls as intended". I have allowed all permissions for the app, and have received calls previously.. please could you advise what 'restrictions' may be stopping calls coming through? Thanks.
