Solving local problems, changing people’s lives! The ultimate, locally relevant lifestyle and community app. From our communication features + real-time Safety & Security and Community Channels to our ground-breaking Wards feature that provides the foundation for better communication between the public and municipalities - Link gives you the ability to connect, be informed and become and active citizen in your community today!

Link Communication:
===============

- Chat: Link takes privacy and personal preference to the next level. Link Chat is less voyeuristic and more private with the ability to self-destruct chats, images and videos. Link to Link instant messaging is free and flexible. Send messages to individual Link contacts, or combine contacts to start a group chat. With Link’s combined chat view, you can see all your notifications on one screen and filter between chats from friends, groups or even “Things”!

- Free Calls: Make free worldwide. Your phone number is your ID so no need to change your number! Simply invite your friends and colleagues. Link is completely non-invasive, advertising free and values your privacy.

- Link uses high quality HD voice that works on both 3G and WiFi

Link Wards:
=========

Link empowers citizens by giving them a direct link to their municipalities and ward councillors. The ward channels allow consumers to easily report service delivery issues such as blocked drains, burst pipes, electricity outages, missing manhole covers, refuse issues, and faulty street signs to name just a few. Because the app geo-locates the user, municipalities know exactly where the issues are and can move to correct them much more timely than previously. Users and councillors then can view exactly what issues are occurring in their wards over time periods and types of issues. Users can set their personal preferences on what they want to be notified about to ensure the app remains unobtrusive.

Link Safety:
=========

- Channels: Stay connected with the Link Channel feature by searching and following channels that are of importance to you! Link Channels were designed to give communities the ability to report and record security issues and other community related information. Link’s Channels gives an intelligent view of all incidents as well as a map and of course, full user control of notifications. Link offers this service for FREE to all resident’s associations, safety/community forums and similar groups.

- Tag-Me: Link Tag-Me is a my-safety, real time feature within the app aimed at families, friends and active sportsmen. The feature enables individuals to “pin” or mark their journey while travelling, allowing personally selected people to identify their exact location and whether they have gone off route, as well as allowing the user to alert their “followers” in cases of distress.

- SOS Button: A free SOS service which contacts your pre-selected contacts via Link messaging, sms and a Link call when pressed.

Link Businesses:
============

- Link allows you to discover places around you. Get useful information such as reviews, special offers or deals, maps, navigation and contact/web details at a click of a button.

- Link provides a comprehensive platform for businesses, merchants and brands to promote themselves to consumers. Businesses have the ability to set up and personalise their places, create in-store vouchers and offers through a platform backed up by over 20 patents that includes POS redemption across all the world’s leading vendors.

Link Things:
