WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Of course the font is good, especially for elderly, pretty clear.
Chatting with people of the same passion, it helps me to relieve my stress and frustration.

- Ms Lee, an elderly participant
in Pilot Testing (Alias)
I see the possibility for good friendship to start by those with the same hobbies, when the pool gets bigger there will be compatible matches.
Then it will really addresses those who need more social interaction
- Ms Ang, an elderly participant in Pilot Testing (Alias)
Good thing is you can see when they put up the photo and understand their hobbies. I think its user friendly and not many tools button so it is good for seniors.
It will make me feel happier when I interact with more people.
