Most folks meet by seeing each other and think that’s enough. At Vorail, we feel sight is just not the right way to meet someone new. When you use the Vorail app, you meet people by their voices, their contributions to conversations and the questions they ask. No pictures. The true beauty of a person lies within and if you hear our voices, you’ll quickly understand what I mean. Come hear what you’ve been missing.

Accessibility

The app is simple to use with a menu along the bottom of the screen.  From left to right, the menu options include Feeds, Questions, Inbox, Likes and Ask Me. Here’s a rundown of what each tab contains:

  • Feeds:  gives you a list of every answer (or response) to each question (or post) similar to the comments on a Facebook post.
  • Questions:  Lists all the questions similar to people’s posts on Facebook.  Unlike Facebook, you don’t have a personalized news feed, you see every single post from every person on Vorail.
  • Inbox: The place where all your private messages and answers to your questions are located.  Once you listen to, or answer a message, it disappears from your inbox.
  • Likes: People who have liked you and people you have liked.  If you like each other, this is a mutual like.  Once you have a mutual like with someone, all your private messages with that person are saved in this location.
  • Ask Me: The place where you let the Vorail community know which topics you are knowledgeable about and feel comfortable answering related questions.
  • Signing Up: When you first sign up, and the sign up is short, you will receive several messages in your inbox explaining how to use Vorail.  You should start by listening to these messages.  They will get you going in no time.
