The Beginning of the End of Our DARE APP – What lies ahead!

Currently, we are focused on putting on the educational assets up on our website with clear instructions on how to contact us or make course bookings. We will be decommissioning our DARE app on 30 September 2021. It might be a minor affair for many people who are in the technology industry since the lifespan of many apps is about 5 years anyway before a major revamp is needed.

 

We are indeed so grateful for all the friendships we had made through creating the app, for the community we had built with it, and for helming this project. To put things into perspective, the DARE Programme is still alive and well. It is just the platform to deliver education and provide a service to our community that is being decommissioned so we can do something better.

Let’s take the lessons from the past, acknowledge the unique climate of the present moment, and move into the future.

Beginning Of The End of Our DARE App – The Hard Truths!

The reality was that our engagement did not skyrocket. Furthermore, many users of the app were one-and-done deals and people would stop using the app after learning DARE virtually or signing up with a community centre. The engagement on the app decreased. AEDs started being installed island-wide and the AED signages were so good that people didn’t need the app to show them the way.

In addition, importantly, the new personal data protection laws suggested we shouldn’t collect personal data on signing in. However this had been the mainstay of ensuring participants were serious about their learning. As the years past, circumstances changed. What was previously accepted, was not abhorred.

After a long period of deliberation, we decided to decommission the app.

What lies ahead? Stay tuned to our next post where we will share more with you!

Our 5 alternatives to using our DARE APP.

Connecting With The Community – When the DARE APP started?

In the previous post, we shared with you the importance of the DARE Programme. In this second part, we will shared with you on when the DARE APP started.

The DARE App was first developed in 2018 and we commissioned a team to develop the DARE application, that was free to download on Android and IOS. It was our dream come true: Dare To Save A Life. It served to teach the community the basics of the DARE programme, to guide them to the nearest AED on the map, and allowed them to book for classes at community centres. Often, we shared updates from international news and local blogs about the community of bystander life-savers. 

The DARE APP was well received that the team was invited to present our digital journey at international conferences such as the United Nations Economic and Social Commission of Asia Pacific headquarters. 

So things worked out well in the first month. We had tens of thousands of people who downloaded the app, trying out the quizzes, and signing up for mass training courses via the APP. However, we were wrong. 

We didn’t have the drive as many engaging updates as we would’ve liked. And with the COVID pandemic, rendered mass training difficult.

Stay tuned to the next post, where we will learn more about the 5 Alternatives to using our APP.
