Imagine having a simple app (应用程序) that works like: When you need help, just open the app, touch the “notOK” button and a message will be sent to five pre-selected (预先设定的) people, along with a location to show where you are. The message reads: Hey, I’m not OK. Please call me, text me, or come to find me.

US teenagers Hanaah Lucas, 15, and her brother Charlie, 13, have created an app called notOK. People just need to pay $1.99 each month to use it.

Hannah was inspired to create the app during a dark time in her life last year. She developed an illness that made her pass out at school. Other kids sometimes bullied (欺凌) her about this. She felt sad and wanted to find an app that would allow her to get help when she wasn’t feeling OK.

She asked her brother Charlie to find such an app. When they couldn’t find, they decided to create one themselves.

The came up with some designs for the app first. Charlie took a programming class last summer and built a website for the app. Hannah also shaerd her idea in her summer class. Some app developers showed interest and decided to help her. At last, the app came out in the US and Canada on January 31.

Hannah is happy that her app is helping others.
