Case Study

notOK App

A Mobile iOS and Android App

notOK™ App is a one-tap support system that makes reaching out for help easier. It takes the guesswork out of asking for help when users are feeling vulnerable, sending a text message and current GPS location to pre-selected contacts.

A Collaboration

Backed by two Atlanta-based non-profits Break Into Business and Plywood People, Hannah and Charlie Lucas worked with East Taylor (design) and Braid (development) to bring the app to life.

Noteworthy

notOK™ App enjoyed a successful launch with thousands of users in the first month with no paid advertising. It maintains 5-star review averages on the iOS App Store as well as Google Play.

While the app offers support for both iOS and Android, it is built on a universal platform, leveraging a single code base for the bulk of the features. Universal platforms streamline development and ease maintenance burden in the long term.

"This app is so crucial to anyone who has a dark moment, or who desperately needs to cry out for help but doesn’t know how. It’s easy to set up and painless to ask. Everyone needs this. Everyone."
App Reviewer - Google Play

The app also features in-app subscriptions, SMS text relay, GPS, and a REST API which powers the application and the web interface.
