FamilyRibbon is a New York-based startup that has come up with an incredible 7-in-1 app for seniors that will enable them to use the Internet and social media for communication. The app is actually a whole suite of apps -- dubbed the EasyFamily AppSuite -- that seamlessly integrates a variety of communication and social media tools including Facebook, email, Skype, Facetime, Flickr and Picasa.
Each of these services has a rather different interface and unique little features and tricks, making them complicated for seniors to navigate if they're new to social media. This app for seniors takes care of that by allowing seniors to enjoy social media in an understandable, easy-to-use interface.
The services also come with heightened security and uniquely illustrated user guides all designed to make things easier for seniors.
