Frequently Asked Questions
What does the ComeOver app do?
ComeOver takes the pressure out of inviting people over. It’s sort of like putting your porch light on to let people know you’re home and they’re welcome to stop in.
In the app, just turn your status ON and people you’re friends with will know they can stop in for a visit. See the Features page for more.
How do I invite new people to use the app?
On the Dashboard, under Recent Updates, if “Everyone’s busy…” you’ll see an Invite Friends button. Tap this, or
Tap the Search for Friends icon at the top of the Dashboard. Then tap Invite Friends in the middle of that page.
Use this to send your friend a link through text message, email, etc. The link will give them options to download the app. Once they do, you can find each other using Search in the app.
Who can see my status?
Only Confirmed friends will be able to view your status.

Tap the three More dots in the upper right corner.
Tap the check next to Block.
Tap the Confirm button.
If someone requests to be your friend, but you don’t want to associate with that person, Block them! You won’t see their status, and they won’t see yours. You won’t show up in their searches anymore either.
