The One App has five different components, including Blog, Latest, Proof, Connect and More. These sections provide facts, statistics, updates on social good projects currently underway and a section where these can then be shared. The One App also advertises and promotes other agencies similar to ONE.org, where activists can become involved or make a donation to another charity or organization. The One App is currently only available for phones in the United States.
