ibiLive app for iPhone and iPad

ibiLive is a platform where users can provide or receive a service or assistance remotely in real time, through a live video connection and a chat, without having to know each others contact details. The connections are free. An ad-hoc payment can be negotiated and agreed between the parties for a specific product or out-of-app service. The payment is integrated within the app itself in a secure way. Businesses can use the platform to connect live to new or existing customers or to send crowd requests for a job they might require in a specific location.
Connections can be initiated responding to a post or by location.

As a customer you might need live and interactive assistance for a problem that can be resolved remotely without paying for someone to come to your home, unless necessary, or without you going anywhere. For example a plumber, a computer expert or help with setting up a new home-theatre system, a new cooking recipe, school homework or even a translator, etc. ibiLive allows you to get live help from anywhere in the world, checking independent reviews from other users.
You can use the app also for live social interactions in total privacy.
On the other side, if you are an expert on something, you can use our app to provide help or services remotely, eventually charging for them, thus using ibiLive as an extra source of income from the comfort of your home or office.

ibiLive works without the need to share telephone numbers or id. There is no need to have the right person on your contacts list.

You can use ibiLive as a Business as well. You can register as a business user to promote yourself and your services. The main difference relative to individual registrations are: business users need to provide more details, need to be verified and approved; only a business user can request a video to be recorded.

As an individual user, the only things that are always shared about you are a nickname (of your choice) and a picture (of your choice). You can choose to share also your age, your gender, your city, your profession and some reference links and tags that are searchable.

Live videos among individuals can never be recorded and cannot be shared. If a business user requests for a video to be recorded (to be used in news for example), then you will be informed before accepting. The video itself will only be shared with the business requesting it after we check it and vet it. If we have doubts, we might contact you to ask your permission before sharing it.

The homepage of the app is a Discovery page, where you can scroll posts published by other users and where you can create your own post. You will only see the posts of those who match your languages preferences. You can search for something you are interested in like a location, a specific service or anything which is part of the public profile of users with active posts. Once you have chosen a post, you can press a button and send a request for connection to the person or business who published it. You can also check the location of the service on a map if the publisher has chosen to make it public. You have to set a time limit for your request to be accepted and can type an optional message. Once the request is accepted, you can either chat or initiate a live video. During the live video, you can agree a service and a price with the other side, who can create a basket for you to approve. You will only pay for what you have agreed to. If the other party does not deliver the service you can report the abuse and the payment will be stopped. At the end of the connection, you can rate and review the service provider and you can add him or her to “my network” so that you can contact him or her directly in the future.
