WHO ARE WHISTLERS?

Whistlers are fellow individuals and businesses of your local community. There is no cookie-cutter Whistler; in turn, Whistles can be as diverse as the Whistlers who are providing services! Retirees, stay-at-home parents, college students, and Batman can all create accounts and become Whistlers. What Whistlers all have in common is a love for what they do and providing service now.

HOW DO I GET THE APP?

Depending on your device, access either the Google Play Store for Android and from AppStore for iOS, search “DoWhistle,” and you should see the Whistle app come up. Our icon is a square box with a white bolded “W” in it. Whistle away!

CAN I USE WHISTLE WITHOUT A SMARTPHONE?

Unfortunately, currently Whistle is only accessible through our Android and iPhone apps. We are working to make Whistle accessible for other pieces of tech. Hang tight!

HOW DO I RATE A WHISTLER?

You can either give a Whistler a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down by clicking the thumb icons in the Whistler’s profile. Think of this as a voting system. You can only cast this one rating but you can change your mind as many times as you’d like. In other words, you can only cast one thumbs-up/thumbs-down no matter how many Whistles you consume.

Any time you’d like to change your mind, simply go back to that Whistler’s profile and click your new desired rating.

CAN I RATE A WHISTLE?

No, you cannot rate Whistles. You can only thumbs-up or thumbs-down Whistlers.

WHY ARE WHISTLER RATINGS SO IMPORTANT?

Whistlers with more thumbs-ups will be given priority and more visibility in future Whistle searches. This is how Whistle rewards those who have a great thumbs-up track-record! We strive to provide quality Whistles to users near and far!

DOES WHISTLE PROVIDE A PAYMENT-PROCESSING METHOD?

No, Whistle is simply a marketplace forum. It is the user’s responsibility to facilitate payment for services and any transactions are conducted at the user’s own risk. Whistle does not collect dividends or nominal fees from transactions and/or purchases. Whistle does not provide a guarantee for transactions monetary or otherwise.

We merely provide the platform for communication. The real movers and shakers are the Whistlers!

HOW DO I CONTACT A WHISTLER?

CAN I UPLOAD IMAGES ALONG WITH MY WHISTLE WHILST POSTING?

Yes, you can upload a maximum of 5 images per Whistle.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ANONYMOUS USER AND A REGISTERED USER?

An anonymous user will not have the geo-tracking feature activated, thus, they can only do manual searches and will not be visible to other Whistlers when they search in turn. Also, an anonymous user cannot create Whistles, and thus, cannot provide services.

A registered user can do so much more! A registered user can create Whistles, get alerts when matches are nearing, and will show up in fellow Whistlers’ searches.

WHAT IS THE REWARD PROGRAM?

In order to seed Whistling behavior among people, we have come up an idea to give them unique rewards which is alt-coins like Shiba Inu. Whistlers will be rewarded

initial set of coins which is on reward for that day when they register. Every day once user can earn some coins when they open app and create Whistle. Stay tuned at www.DoWhistle com and app for current reward alt-coin details.

WHEN I CAN REDEEM MY REWARDS?

By default all Whistlers are eligible to redeem after 2 years of keeping our app in use. From Jan 2023 onwards, lucky draw will be conducted and winners are allowed to redeem. Stay tuned for more details.
