LOAD UP YOUR PROGRAM

PROGRAM SECTION

Line up your designs and play them on your bag one after another. Pick Loop or Play once, then tap Play on bag.

Three phone screens showing the Program screen: open Program and name it, add and set up designs, then choose Loop or Play once and tap Play on bag — Option 1 — Program your bag: open Program → add & set up → choose Loop or Play once → Play on bag

Keep using the app. Your program keeps playing while you use the rest of the app. The first play loads each design once — after that it starts straight away.

YOUR SAVED DESIGNS

GALLERY

Everything you save from Draw, Free Type, Media and Downloads ends up here. Tap ☆ to favourite a design, then tap it and press Send to bag.

READY-MADE DESIGNS

DOWNLOADS

Free PAAAWS designs, ready to go. Tap Get to keep one in your Gallery, or Send to show it now. Designs marked ▶ move on your bag.

YOUR OWN WORDS

FREE TYPE

Type your message, pick a size and colour, then choose how it moves: Still, Scroll, Flip pages or Bag effects.

Bag effects keep going. Snow, Bubble, Flicker and the rest are drawn by the bag itself, so they keep playing even with the app closed.

CREATE WITH YOUR FINGER

DRAW

Pick Pen and a colour and draw on the grid. Use Fill to colour in a shape and Rubber to fix mistakes.

PICTURE + TEXT

COMBINATION

Pick one of your saved pictures, add your own words, and choose Top, Middle or Bottom. Save a picture first in Draw, Media or Downloads.

EVERYTHING YOU’VE SENT

HISTORY

Every design you send to your bag shows up here, newest first. Tap Send again to put it straight back on.

LIGHT UP THE CREW

PARTY

Light shows, Word Train, Battles and Crowd Beacon. Link 2 or 3 bags and they all light up together.

Kind to everyone. Light shows never change more than 3 times a second, to be kind to anyone sensitive to flashing lights. Crew send puts one picture on every linked bag in one tap.

PAAAWS ARCADE

GAMES

18 games, including Tic-Tac-Toe, Snake, Pong, Four in a Row and Sea Battle. Play on your phone, and your bag shows the game too.

LEFT, RIGHT & STOP

CYCLING

Turn signals for your bag. Tap ◀ Left or Right ▶ before you turn, STOP when you slow down, and Rear light to be seen.

Extra visibility only. It doesn’t replace proper bike lights, which you need by law when cycling in the dark.

CONTROL EVERY BAG

MY BAGS

Connect more than one bag to the same phone. Rename each one, switch screens on or off, and choose whether designs go to All bags or just one.

STAY SAFE & SEEN

SOS & SAFETY

Set SOS up once. After that, tap the red SOS button 3 times quickly: your bag shows HELP, your phone can sound an alarm, and you can call or text your parent in one tap.

5 phone screens showing how to set up and use PAAAWS SOS — More → Safety & SOS → Get ready → Add a parent → SOS ×3

Important. PAAAWS SOS helps you get attention and reach someone fast. It isn’t an emergency service and can’t guarantee help. In real danger, call 999.
