myCrew - the uber-cool life tool app for iPhone and iPad

myCrew is a free app that lets you quickly find out who is available to help, confirm with them and let everyone else know the problem is solved. You can simultaneously ask friends and trusted people in your networks, using your phones contact list, but contrary to a group chat or email, they receive the request individually and you can see all the options available to you. Own the moment. Be spontaneous again!

Whether you need to see who can help with babysitting this weekend, can pick up kids if you are running late or do carpool for the school team this week, myCrew is here to help. And it can remember the group you asked, so the next time, its even easier!

myCrew is built to make life simpler: your request is a Twitter like in its length, replies are limited to Yes/No/Maybe, you can easily update and resend, and it integrates seamlessly into your calendars. All in real time, as things happen, from anywhere you happen to be.

myCrew makes groupsourcing assistance possible. What is groupsourcing? Groupsourcing is the practice of broadcasting requests to groups of people in order to discover who can provide something that is needed either online or offline. The request could be of help, support, services, ideas, content, things or contributions. Its the practice of soliciting assistance from a groups of people that are formed by friends, trusted personal networks and specific communities, rather than from unconnected strangers, traditional employees or suppliers. Groupsourcing enables transactions where the parties both give and receive/receive value through participation, connection and community.

* Create Requests: Send requests stating what you need and when. Add location and details if you want to. Send to individual contacts from your contact list, add and remove as you want - you can always change and update the list the task is sent to. You can create groups to send to, called Crews.

* Create Crews: Crews are groups of people that you link together because the fit a certain aspect of your life (e.g. family, best friends, sitters, parents of the kids in the team or class). Easily Add or Remove group participants.

* Flexible and Fast: If your situation has changed or your problem has been solved, alert all who you can contacted in one click.


Alexandra T. Greenhill, Physician mom of three: "myCrew is a life saver! When I am running late at work and need help picking up kids from school, its so easy to add people from my contacts and privately notify them. The app organizes all the responses and allows me to get the trusted help I need quickly. My life emergencies are now easy to manage."

Karen Bakker, Professor mom of two: "myCrew is completely changed the way I look for help. Its now so easy to check with the other moms at my kids school as to who can help with carpool to practice. Goodbye endless emails - hello to insta-polling who can drive kids this week. It organizes all the responses and adds straight into our calendars."

Christine Pilkington, business leader mom of three: "myCrew brings spontaneity back! When we want a night out at the last minute, the challenge is to find out who of our many helpers is actually free to come watch the kids. In one click, I can send the question independently to our pre-set list of family members and trusted sitters, assess our options and confirm wholl be there to help us out."
