Mobile App Makes Finding the Right Service Provider Easier

HelpBook allows you to contact on-call dentists, plumbers, electricians, roadside service and other service providers right on your phone

Ever break a tooth or lose a filling only to find out that your dentist in on vacation for ten days and the doctor covering for him is too backed up to see you? You’re in pain and you can’t wait. When you have the free HelpBook mobile app, a solution is right at your fingertips. HelpBook was designed for all sorts of emergencies just like this. Just open the app and click on dentist to find local dentists who are on call right now. You can see their HelpBook ratings (only people who have used the provider are allowed to rate them, so you know they are real) and their response time. Then call them directly. Or, you can send a help request message to that provider or blast it to multiple providers at the same time. You can even send a photo of your tooth. The app is free and you pay for services with the provider in the normal way. You can even send your friends info on a HelpBook provider.

To download the app, text HB to 24587 and enter coupon code PATCH2 and will send you some HelpBucks to get you started. HelpBook can’t stop calamities from happening, but it can make dealing with them easier when they do. Find out more at HelpBook.com.
