# On-Demand Repair Apps 'Cool Runnings' Connects Technicians and Users for Home Repairs By Justin Lam | Published 2018-10-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-runnings References: [indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/cool-runnings-technician-customer-assistance-app#/) Advertised as [Uber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finishd-app) for Technicians, a new app called 'Cool Runnings' serves as an on-demand app for having almost any home repairs done by skilled professionals. The initial release of the app will focus on HVAC Technicians -- hence the name 'Cool Runnings' -- but the app intends to expand to other home-related services soon. All of the technicians available on the app specialize in their various trades and are assured to be top-quality thanks to a pre-screening process. Like most on-demand style apps, 'Cool Runnings' provides users with reviews/ratings, booking requests, and an integrated appointment calendar for technicians. The app will even allow users to look up the cost of parts to ensure the best deal possible. The app will be available on both iOS and Android platforms.
