The idea of creating a unique smartphone app for seniors is a new one, and it's something that's been whole-heartedly embraced by an Orange-based startup that has launched YourLink, a free app that is designed to make it easier than ever for seniors to stay in touch with their family and friends and also remain connected to their local community as well as key service providers.
The app allows seniors to directly message friends and family, making it easier for them to stay in touch. It also offers a curated list of local bulletin boards, flyers and advertisements for a wide variety of products, services and events of interest to seniors.
