Shout: Traditional Carpooling Made Easy
Avego Shout v1.1 Released
Reliable, simple, straightforward: that’s what carpooling looks like with the new version of Avego Shout! Your carpool should do one thing: get you to work. It’s not supposed to give you a headache, lead to premature hair loss or cause frostbite from waiting in the cold. In just a few steps, Avego Shout helps you stop wondering where your carpool is or who is travelling in the carpool today – providing simple, real-time ease of mind.
If you’re already in a carpool, you have the most to gain from Avego Shout. So why not get some communication going in your carpool with this free iPhone app that uses Apple push notifications to message within your carpool. Without even having to write the message, let people know what time you’re arriving, that you’re waiting on them, that you’re not carpooling today or even ask where the others are, all in a few taps through the stock Shouts.
This is all great, you say, but what about when I’m driving and can’t use my phone? No problem, we’ve got you covered! Just make sure you’ve the app turned on and the integrated GPS means that your carpool buddies can see your progress on a map in real-time.
Avego Shout version 1.1 makes it even easier for first-time users (or Shouters!). The app automatically adds people from your address book to your buddy list, so you can set up a carpool with anyone you know. Whether you’re planning a weekend road trip with friends or already have a commuter carpool, the new visual guides we’ve added will make carpooling practically foolproof!
