BondBoost

iOS Universel / Réseaux sociaux

BondBoost helps you maintain and strengthen your personal relationships by making it easier to stay connected with the people who matter most. In our busy lives, it's easy to lose touch with friends, family, and meaningful connections. BondBoost is your relationship companion that gently reminds you to reach out and helps you make those interactions more meaningful.

BondBoost does not upload your contacts to any server. The app is designed to work exclusively with the user's local contact data on their device. This approach ensures user privacy and data protection. No contact information is sent, shared, or stored on any external services or applications. The sole purpose of BondBoost is to help users rekindle their connections with friends, family, and acquaintances.

Updated features of the BondBoost app include:

Accessing contacts: BondBoost fetches contacts from the user's local device and randomly selects one for the user to rekindle a connection with. The app ensures that contact information is only accessed locally and is not sent or shared with any external services or applications.

Managing and displaying contacts: The app allows users to manage their selected contact using the Contacts Framework, and it displays the contact's photo if available. This includes editing contact details and making updates as needed.

Scheduling reconnects: Users can schedule a reconnect reminder for a specific contact, ensuring that they remember to reach out to that person in the future.

Rekindling connections: Users can increase their "Connections Rekindled" count by reaching out to the suggested contact. The app offers a confirmation prompt before marking the connection as rekindled.

Ignoring or skipping contacts: Users have the option to skip or ignore a suggested contact if they do not wish to reconnect with them at the moment. Ignored contacts will not be suggested again.

Tracking connections: BondBoost keeps track of the number of connections rekindled by the user and allows them to reset the counter if desired.

User-friendly interface: The app features an intuitive interface with easy navigation and clear, actionable buttons. SF Symbols are used for a visually appealing and consistent look.

Favorites: Users can mark contacts as favorites, which increases their chances of being selected again by the app's random function. This feature helps users prioritize connections with specific individuals.

Search functionality: BondBoost includes a search icon that allows users to find and display a specific contact instead of fetching a random one. This feature gives users the flexibility to choose who they want to reconnect with.

Weekly reminders and personalized notifications: The app sends weekly push notifications to remind users to rekindle a connection, and scheduled reconnect reminders display the contact's name. This helps keep users engaged and committed to maintaining their relationships.

App Store review prompt: BondBoost includes an in-app prompt for users to review the app on the App Store, helping to gather feedback and improve the overall experience.
