Motolife is a modern and advanced volunteer based moto-help program. It is the best way to stay connected with friends, other riders and everyone who uses the application. Real time connection gives you the ability to inform other users about accidents occurred, technical problems, dangerous traffic situations, real time traffic conditions, etc. You can also use the application to communicate and chat with other people like you, sharing the same moto passion, and always stay connected and tuned to the latest news and moto life stories.
Use Motolife to:
- share your location (if you turn it on in settings);
- create an SOS event if you need assistance;
- receive SOS notifications, see them on the map, and go to help others;
- navigate automatically to the SOS event location;
- see who is nearby or at the place of the SOS event;
- free in-app public messaging discussions;
- find new friends and co-riders.
Keep your Privacy
There are two settings: "Show my location on the map" and "Hide my name".
With the first setting you can allow or disallow the app to show your location marker to others.
With the second setting you can allow or disallow the app to show your name when somebody tap on your marker on the map.
Set your Radius of Interest
You can limit the area from which you receive SOS and chat notifications. This can be set in the app’s settings panel – “Maximum distance for notifications”, which is set in kilometers. By customizing your settings, you can choose not to receive SOS and chat notifications from outside of your radius of interest. If you set the distance limit to 0 you will be alerted about all SOS and chat notifications. The area of interest is moved with your location. If the location service is turned off, you can set and update the center of your area of interest manually.
Ask for Help
In case of a problem (accident or technical), you can create an SOS event, using the triangle hazard button in the center of the upper bar. Then you set the precise location and fill SOS event details. You can create an event for yourself or for someone else, in this case you just need to enter the name of the other user. Then you select what kind of help is needed. A notification will be displayed to all members who have the location of the SOS event in their radius of interest, and they can go and help.
You can close your SOS by the same button which now has a red X displayed on it. An administrator can also close any SOS event.
Help Others
If there is an active SOS event in your radius of interest, a notification is displayed and SOS badge is elevated over the SOS list button (an exclamation mark in the right of the upper bar). By pressing it, you can display the active SOS list. When you select any of the SOS listed there, you can see its location or crate a route to navigate to the place (the Google Maps application is required).
Communicate with Others
There is a public chat function built into the app. You can send and receive text messages, pictures and locations. There are static chat rooms for Road conditions, Repairing and Service, Free off-topic chat and About Motolife topics. When a member creates an SOS event, a new dynamic chat room is displayed where you can discuss the SOS event and coordinate with other users to help the member in need. Private one-to-one messages are not supported.
Change your Profile Name and Picture
You can change your profile name or profile picture by using the menu item “My profile”. It gives you the ability to personalize your appearance. There are no requirements for your personal data to be correct of officially verified, but please consider your profile to be recognizable by your friends and other members.
