ACCEPT LOCATION SERVICES
In order for all.u.me to work we need you to set your location to "always". If we don't know where you are we don’t know if you are nearby a caller or if there are any backups near you in case you need backup.
It's a two step process with a few variations depending on language and phone model.
01 Allow the app to access your phones location services
02 Start by accepting "When in use.."
03 Then change this to "Always" on the following screen or in settings.
We’ll let you know if it not setup correctly on the home screen.
ACCEPT NOTIFICATIONS
We need you to allow us to send notifications, so we can let you know if you are needed as a backup - or if we need to share news with you.
01 Allow the app to send you notifications
02 Allow us to make sure you notice
We’ll let you know if it not setup correctly on the home screen.
ADD A PROFILE PHOTO
You should upload a picture of yourself, so that even a stranger would recognise you.

02 Select a photo and size it to fit the circle
You can always change it in you profile settings.

GETTING TO YOUR CALLER
If you accept the call the app tells you how to reach your callers location by regular GPS based routing by Google Maps.
If you are not in an urban area, perhaps switching to "straight line" mode on the map is better.

03 When within close range - approximately 10 meters - of your callers location the app exits the routing mode
