Simply Blood has launched an Android mobile app (applications) only. The second version of the app was released by Vijay Goel, former Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports in India on September 23, 2017.[1][2]

They have launched a realtime GPS enabled application which allows a person to raise a blood request without sharing the contact details in public and blood donors can see all the nearby blood requests near his/her current location to accept the blood request. After accepting the blood request the donor and requester will get each other's number in less than few seconds. Blood donors who wanted to donate blood on some specific date can register themselves and select a suitable date from the "Apps" to donate blood and save a life.
