Top-Requested Features Coming Spring 2019

Your ideas are coming to life this spring. We’ve listened as families using Relay have shared their experiences and let us know about features that would make Relay even more useful as a communication tool, family GPS tracker, and more—and we’ve been working to make them happen. Now they’re almost ready. Here’s a sneak peek into what you can expect.

Coming this Spring:

Get SOS emergency alerts

This feature allows your child to send an emergency notification from their Relay to your smartphone. Along with the notification, you’ll also get a live update of their location so you can make sure they’re safe.

Listen to message history

Never miss a message. With this highly requested feature, you and your child will be able to listen to messages right as they arrive or hear them later with the press of a button. 

One-on-one chats made easy

The Relay app is getting a makeover! In the new app, direct chats will be set up automatically so you can easily reach everyone on your account without manually setting up channels or talking to the whole group.

Coming soon:

App-Only Accounts

This will allow for someone without a Relay to create an account and communicate with Relay users by receiving an invitation from the account owner. It’s perfect for grandparents, cousins, and co-parents to stay connected with their families.

Geofencing

Take your kid tracker game to the next level. With geofencing technology, you’ll know when your child is leaving or entering a specific location area by receiving smart alerts that you have set up—without checking your Relay app every minute.

 

And we’re nowhere near finished! We will continue to offer additional improvements through our software updates, so make sure you’re the first to know about new features by tuning into our email updates. You can sign up below.
