I have had two great sessions with GroovyTek and finally I have learned to use my smartphone calendar! I'm looking forward to my next session.

GroovyTek Webinar Staying@Home | Staying Connected
Today, we're going to be talking about how you can best use your personal technology to stay connected with your family and friends, whether they live across the street, across town, in another state, or even in another country.
It is essential in so many ways for us to stay connected with others. Connection truly represents a basic human need, and we feel it is important to understand how technology can be used on our own terms in order to maintain a connection with others. Thankfully, with the personal technologies that are available to us, we can stain in touch with everyone in our lives with our devices. And, we don’t have to worry about paying long-distance fees, as almost all of these services can be used in some way for free.
Whether you’re using a phone, a tablet, or a laptop, there are four communication apps that are very beneficial to their users trying to stay connected. We’ll start by talking about FaceTime. This is an Apple-only way to communicate featuring voice and video chat.
Then, we’ll be talking about Skype. This is another way to make video calls, voice calls, and conduct text chats. Skype is a multi-platform app, meaning you can use it with Mac, Windows, or Android devices.
Next, we will take a look at Facebook Messenger. You may already have Facebook, but you might not have used Messenger. If you have a Facebook account, you already automatically have access to the Messenger app. Messenger can be very useful because many of your family and friends, especially the younger generation, are already on Facebook. Your messenger app connects you with your Facebook contacts, so you can immediately send a video, voice, or text chat to anyone who has a Facebook account.
And finally, we are also going to talk about WhatsApp. This is another app owned by Facebook, but it’s a third-party application. It allows you to text message, send images, and even video chat through the app, as long as the other family or friend has the app installed as well.
Client Reviews
My tech from GoovyTek has been terrific. He is patient, knowledgeable, and explains things really well. I enjoyed learning new tools and features on my smart phone and computer. They have made doing things a lot easier and more enjoyable.

I'm very pleased with my session today with GroovyTek. My trainer was able to fix both my computer and my printer (problems with both) and instructed me on how to correct the issues if they occurred in the future. We also made plans for my next session. I find GroovyTek sessions extremely helpful and convenient since they are in my home.

I think your service is great! I have used it, and I booked 2 sessions for my 83-year old husband who bought himself a new Ipad, but didn't know how to use it. He's been ill, so it was a great help that you came to the house. Thanks for the service.

Today was my first experience with GroovyTek and it was extraordinary. I learned so much over the course of the hour AND as importantly fixed the problem I was having. The trainer was intelligent and friendly. All support was given in a very collaborative way. I am looking forward to this partnership.
Barb S
The trainers are so friendly, and helpful. They certainly have lots of patience and knowledge. They make you feel so comfortable asking questions you would not dare ask your family to show you again how to do. They are always welcome in my home, sometimes I hate to see them go!

My tech is patiently bringing me (at age 79) into the computer age. I am so glad that I found him through GroovyTek. What a wonderful gift!
Judy K
We have had several help sessions with a GroovyTek trainer. WE could not be more pleased. My trainer takes all our questions and while answering types up his answers so even after he leaves, we can refer to his notes. I would recommend GroovyTek to any of my friends or family without hesitation. BTW, ALL the employees at this firm are extrememly knowledgeable and friendly.

I have always had the best computers that Apple offered, but the problem was that I never knew how to use them. Thanks to my GroovyTek trainer, my tech skills have increased exponentially and I am feeling more competent and confident with each lesson.
John B
Spectacular people. Knowledgeable, professional, customer focused and easy to work with. I have used their services a couple of times (because I am over 40) and they are great to work with.
Jim H
Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.
Cheryl M
I was just delighted and on my way to practice new found skills. My trainer was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient with this little old lady (age 78). I didn't have to take notes to remember - he recorded it on his tablet and sent me a copy to download so I have my instructions, step by step. So pleased with the service and the follow-up.
Karen M
Outstanding trainers with expertise and a lot of patience at a fair price. I have used them for two years and they have given me a much better understanding of the in's and outs of how to use many aspects of my computer. It is a pleasure to have them come to my home and work on my own computer problems.
Jerry P
Very pleased with the experience. Knowledgeable trainer who was most helpful. Highly recommend the service.
