FingerString Hints & Tips

What can FingerString do?

When FingerString calls, it’s not just reading a script – we’re interactive!

You can talk to FingerString and access more features. Ask “What can I do?” to hear the latest newest features. We are adding content all the time. Coming soon – weather forecast, celebrity birthdays, and joke-of-the-day.

 
Reminders and Appointments

As part of your Check-In Plan, you can set up as many reminders as you like. A Reminder can have 2 styles: it can be a reminder to do something, or just “about” something. For example: “remind me to feed the cat”, or, “remind me about Carolyn’s visit in March”.

You can also enter Appointments. Appointments are different than Reminders, because Appointments have a specific date and time, but Reminders do not. Appointments are not part of you Check-In Plan, you enter them separately. When you enter an Appointment, you can tell FingerString how early to call, and instead of an easy-to-miss popup, you’ll get a friendly phone call. Oneof the neatest feature is the Appointment countdown. FingerString will count down the days until an appointment to make sure you are always ready: “It’s 14 days until Chuck’s birthday”.

How Are You Feeling Today?

When FingerString asks “How are you feeling today?”, it’s not just a rhetorical questions. If you are not feeling at your best, FingerString will offer to call the contact person you have entered for your plan. We’ll place an immediate and free call to the person you chose, and hopefully that will brighten your day!

What Can You Do?

You can also ask for a list of your upcoming appointments, or to hear your plan Reminders. You can ask for the date and time, and soon we will be offering so much more! Over the next few months we will be adding more interesting entertainment content, such as “This Day in History”, but also exciting new features, such as the ability to call for a ride through Uber or Lyft, to place a grocery delivery order, or connect with other people or places, such as your doctor’s office, or family members.

Remember, you can always ask FingerString “What Can I Do?” to hear all the latest features.
