What if there was a way to get help immediately by connecting with a fixit coach who would guide you through the process step by step using the video feature of your iPhone? With the FixUp iPhone app, this is all possible.

Once in the app, you’re able to see which professional handymen are immediately available and view their rates, reviews and expertise. You then contact the best one for you, tell them your issue, and, utilizing the mobile video feature of your phone, they walk you through how to fix it (or at least identify what parts to get). The typical contractor’s phrase, “Well, I need to come over and see it” is now eliminated because he or she is “seeing it” through the Iphone. After the video consultation is over, your item is ideally fixed, and the contractor is automatically paid his per minute rate which you agreed to before hand. No waiting for a return call. No waiting for someone to come to the house. It’s all immediate and seamless.

However, if for some reason, he cannot fix the issue over the phone, not to worry. Whatever you paid through your virtual FixUp session will be applied to the actual in person service call. If, for some reason, you decide not to use his services or he could not help you in any way via the phone, then you don’t pay anything for the call.
