Everything Bondnow does, and what your loved one actually experiences, from the moment you tap call to the moment they see your face. It runs on a tablet they already have.
Two short films. The first is what Bondnow is. The second is everything you have to do.
What Bondnow is. Why it keeps working when everything else has been given up on.
Setting it up. Download it, sign in on their tablet, done. That is the whole job, and it is yours, not theirs.
Your everyday care companion. One tablet in their room, one they already have, plus one app on your phone, and one place for everything you need to care for someone.
Conventional family apps demand a learning curve, they are not built for accessibility, and every update moves things again. For someone who cannot manage that any more, it is where connection quietly stops.
Bondnow starts from the other end. The tablet stays where they live and the screen is always on. You tap call in the app and they see you, without pressing anything, because there is nothing to press.
Three steps, all of them yours. Your loved one does none of it.
Create your account. It takes a minute, and it is the only account anyone has to make.
A username and password for your loved one comes with your account. They never need an email address of their own, and there is nothing for them to set up, remember or agree to.
Put Bondnow on a tablet they already have, sign in with those details, and it is ready. That is the whole setup, and nobody touches a setting again after that.
Four steps. Three of them are yours. The fourth is theirs, and theirs is nothing.
From anywhere in the world, on iPhone or Android. Two seconds, exactly like calling anyone else on your phone.
The screen is always on, showing family photos and videos. When your call arrives, your name is spoken clearly so they know who it is before they look up. That is an accessibility decision, not a gimmick.
No ring tone to miss. No button to find. Nothing required from them.
Your face appears on their screen and theirs on yours. If they are not in the room, the call waits, and connects the moment they come back.
This works unattended on an Android tablet. On an iPad, Apple restricts what an app may do when the screen is locked, so someone may need to tap once.
Every photo and video shared by anyone in the circle appears on the tablet automatically, all through the day. Familiar faces, recent moments, everyone who loves them.
One app for everything you need to care for your loved one. We say plainly what is live and what is not.
Your name announced out loud, then the call connects on its own. Nothing for them to press.

Pick any station, in any language or genre, from anywhere in the world.
Stream it instantly, or schedule it to repeat, like a favourite show every Monday and Wednesday at 10am.
A spoken announcement plays, then their station starts, right on time, with nothing for them to do.
If a call is happening, it waits quietly and resumes the moment the call ends.
Their faces appear at the edge of their screen. One touch rings only that person, and your phone rings. A red Alarm button can ring the one person you trust most. It is not an emergency service, and it does not call 999.
On the Manage Device screen in your app. It is off until you do.
And, if you want one, an Emergency contact for the red Alarm button.
One touch rings that one person. On Android your phone rings like any call; on an iPhone with Bondnow closed you get a notification. It never answers by itself.
One tablet, one purpose. Theirs, not ours.
Bondnow is an app, and it runs on an Android tablet you already own. We no longer supply or manage a device, which means there is nothing to buy before you can try it, and nothing to send back if it turns out not to suit you.
Because the tablet is yours, what else is on it, and how it updates, stays in your hands rather than ours. All we need is the sign-in that was created with your account.
Not sure whether the one you have will do? Tell us what it is and we will say honestly.
Start with one call and see how it feels for your family. The first month is free, we never take a card, and if it is not right you simply stop.
Care homes and home care teams use BondNow to reduce coordination and keep families involved. Families use it at home when technology has become the barrier.
