Phoenix, AZ - 
(NewMediaWire) - August 01, 2022 - RAADR, Inc. (OTC PINK: RDAR), a technology and software development company that provides cutting edge solutions for cyber-bullying on social media platforms announced today that it is adding an “Urban Dictionary” feature to its Anti-Bullying and Parental Monitoring App in the IOS and Google Play stores. Perhaps, the most important and powerful feature of the app is that it will allow parents to understand what is being said in a dialect spoken by young people. The urban dictionary will be an embedded dictionary of slang, cultural words, and cultural phrases. The inclusion of the urban dictionary as part of the standard architecture of the app is a game changing feature because a significant percentage of threatening online behavior is perpetrated through slang words and phrases that are not understood by the masses.
The inclusion of this urban dictionary is a game changer to the overall functionality of the app and the youth it is intended to protect.
The “Urban Dictionary” feature is intended to be released in the Google Play Store and the App Store during the 4th quarter of this year.

Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can include sharing personal or private information about someone else causing embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behavior.
