A while back I was watching an episode of Modern Family and it in Mitchel gets a voucher for a service that literally does anything for you when you don’t have the time or the inclination to do it yourself. I was literally watching this and thinking, man that is so awesome I wish we had something similar here…. Well, guess what?! We do!
I’d like to introduce you all to a very cool app called Hey Jude which will not only find you whatever you need, but they will get a quote, deliver it and even pay on your behalf! So for example if you were trying to arrange a party where you needed say 200 hotdogs in a blow-up pool (that’s my kind of party) then all you would have to do is log onto the app and start up a conversation with one of the virtual assistants, which is powered by a real person chatting to you. You would then tell them what you are looking for, you can even send photo reference if you want. But say you don’t feel like typing because you’re too busy sipping on a cup of tea or scrolling through your address book to see who you’d like to invite to said hotdog party, then all you have to do is send a voice note containing your requirements and that’s that. It can’t get any easier.
This app can handle any size request from restaurant bookings, to travel arrangements, to ordering food, to finding a specific product, to organising a tradesman, whatever you can think of.
So I downloaded the app and tried it out and I’m not going to lie, Hey Jude is kind of amazing, it’s like having four of you making sure stuff gets done! I found it really useful and easy to use, I even felt a little fancy whilst on it because it kind of feels like having a personal assistant who you don’t have to pay and who doesn’t mind doing everything for you. So now that I know how much 200 hotdogs cost, anyone want to come to my hotdog pool party? It’ll be fun, I promise.
What I’d like to do now is treat one of you to a dream come true with Hey Jude to the value of R5000 in cash that you can spend on absolutely anything you like! A hot air balloon ride, a new TV, a magic potion that will multiply you four times over, you name it and it’s yours.
All you have to do is:
- Leave me a comment here telling me what you would ask Hey Jude to help you find or organise.
- Post an image to your Instagram or Facebook page of what you would like to spend the cash on and make sure you include the following copy: I want to win R5000 with @heyjudeapp by sharing what I’d do with all that cash! #HeyJudeMagic
- Posts to Instagram and Facebook will be rewarded with THIRTY additional entries! Don’t forget to use the tags so we can track your entries.
- A winner will be chosen on the 31st of May 2017. Good luck!

I am dreaming of that cozy cabin in the woods or that little cottage by the sea, the perfect little getaway spot I’ve had my eye on for ages. And chances are it will be a reality with Hey Jude App helping me out, having such an extensive listing and cover the whole of Africa/world. So the chances of me finding that perfect spot for a much needed break, are pretty favourable!!!! #heyjudemagic
I would definitely ask for a hot air balloon ride, it has been such a dream of mine to go away on one of these! My dream of flying with the wind in my hair would actually come true 🙂 #HeyJudeMagic
I have posted on Instagram as per above. My handle is @miss_rox_c
OMG! This is the best news ever! Right now I have the task of trying to organise a MOANA party for my 5 year old in winter – this is what Hey Jude can do for me!
I would ask Hey Jude to help me organise my son’s birthday that coming up soon I am a first time mom with no organising skills and find it difficult to entertain people especially when they are fussy. I would love to make this a special one. Where do I find the right people to organise a stunning Mickey Mouse Cake #HeyJudeMagic
My life would be forever altered if someone would come to my house and cook dinner every night for a week. I don’t want holidays, shopping vouchers, spa treatments, or a bath full of hotdogs. I just want someone to take care of dinner for just one week. Partly because I am exhausted by the time I get home from work, but also so that I can see (just for a week), what it feels like to be my husband. And while we’re on it, If I could be having a massage in my lounge by the fireplace with a glass of red wine, while someone else cooks me a delish wintery delight, that would be awesome. I’m pushing it, aren’t I? Ok. Just the food then. Pretty please.
I would ask Hey Jude to help organize my nursery. Baby is due in less than 3 months and still no nursery #HeyJudeMagic #sponsored
@heyjudeapp and Lucky Pony I would love to purchase a much needed Clarinet, for my daughter, which she could also use at school and when she helps teaching at Elsies River Music Development Group (ERMDG) on a Saturday. ERMDG, is aimed at making students thereof musically literate and giving them an ability to apply these skills practically on a musical instrument and also providing them with the building blocks they might need to enable them to nurture/develop a career in music.
ERMDG is also a NPO and funds are limited and therefore we cannot also purchase the much needed instruments.
Achieving this goal will not only make my daughter’s dream come true, but will contribute to the lives of the students within our music school
I would ask for a jungle gym
I am planning an overseas trip next year and haven’t even started planning. I would ask Hey Jude to help me plan an amazing trip!!!! Eeeeeeek super exciting!!!!
Hey Jude please remind me to buy groceries
Been working on a small business plan, and would love to have the help of a PA system to get it going. This app sounds amazing. I would spend my moneys on start-up stuffs! Don’t normally post promo stuff on Instagram, but how cool is this prize?
I would like hey jude to help me with buying my daughter’s needs❤
I’m a student nurse who is a mother to a beautiful little girl and with every little thing I get I spoil her
With R5000 I would buy her the things she needs
BABY WALKER
COT BED
BUMBO FLOOR SEAT
BABY DIAPERS and of course the most important WINTER CLOTHES❤

THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY MY LUCKY PONY
I’m searching for a beautiful cast iron garden bench for my stoep. I have a lovely Victorian house and all I want to do is sit on my stoep and contemplate life. It’s the little things that mean the most. Hey Jude! I need you to help me with my search 🙂
I would ask Jude to organise my drivers license and get me ten others while they are at it as I lose one a year – I seriously dont know anyone who goes through drivers licenses like they are library books. I have lost so much of my life to the queues at the traffic dept
Hey Angie and HeyJude ?
A friend and I are planning on our first trip to Portugual in June and could definitely use the money to go towards one night accommodation in a lovely city called Porto. We would love to embark on this journey stress free and soak it all in. I shall be using the app (and hopefully the money) to locate a cute little cottage or something listed on AirBnB ((:
Dear Hey Jude and Lucky Pony
What a unreal spoil an extra R5k would be ?
Since I’m in love with all things ocean and nature like, I would choose to spoil my little family ( Mr Stanley and Mr Rupert) , 8 & 4 years old, respectively, PLUS 1 x Loving & gorgeous husband Simon Good, to a day out experiencing the Oceans Marine “Big5”
We would leave from Hout Bay harbour and explore the ocean and all it’s life force from
Seals to sharks to whales ?
With the left over cash, I would wish to donate groceries to our local Masiphumelele
crèche as the kids often go to school on an empty tummy.
Well.. I would love to ask Jude to organize this .. To Book the family to go and see Disney on Ice In July. This is something my kids have been begging for, for the last 3 years, and I just haven’t been able to do it. This would be absolutely amazing..
Oh wow, this is indeed magical and I sooo need some of that magic to spin away far from the maddening crowd into a little adventure escape /getaway – sharing on FB & Twitter & Instagram – eyJudeMagic
I would ask Hey Jude to help me find a wendy house(BIG), shop fittings and all the necessary vintage decor that I will need for my own clothing Boutique:) If Hey Jude can find and organise these things- they can find ANYTHING!
#heyjude and Lucky Pony,
So many wonderful comments. I’d ask Jude to help organize my Baking initiative #RANDOMACTSOFBAKEDNESS into more areas.
I’m planning my wedding, so I have a very long list of questions for Hey Jude – from honeymoon accomodation suggestions to sourcing service provider quotes.
I would love Hey Jude to hire a few magic faries (a.k.a. professional organisers) to wave their wands and organise some “stuff” around our home.
My twin sister and I are turning 21 in October. My wish to Hey Jude would be to help me organise an amazing birthday weekend. Between a full-time job and full-time studies, I haven’t been able to get started on any of the planning and Hey Jude would be a lifesaver.
My vision is a camping weekend in the Platbos forest with 30 – 40 of our closest friends and family. Hey Jude, do you know any good suppliers of fairly lights?
I want to win R5000 with @heyjudeapp by sharing what I’d do with all that cash! #HeyJudeMagic It is my 30th coming up and would love to be treated the splendid Oyster Box Spa for the day!
We are planning a European summer holiday
and I’ll need lots of help with finding accommodation and some ideas on what to do in each city. Shared pic of what I’d do with that R5000 on Facebook (Theola Ernest) 🙂
I would get Hey Jude to help plan my next hiking trip to Fish River Canyon, so I can finally escape the concrete jungle for a week and enjoy a few nights sweating it out in Namibia, enjoying the view and sleeping under the stars.
I would ask Hey Jude to help me get a quote for things I need done around our house, Husband works away often and doesn’t always get around to it. Would love to help him out, just to ease the stress of things a bit.
I’d ask the Judes to send me the best student budget lunch specials around Cape Town for every day of the week, because variation is great and sometimes you just need to treat yoself! ???

I would love to win R5000 with @heyjudeapp to get the gorgeous pictures I bought for my baby 6 months ago off the floor and on the wall. Oh and I would also love my fridge automatically re stocked every week!
Honestly, how amazing is this? I would definitely need a little assistance from Hey Jude to help me organize a special third birthday party for my toddler!
I’d love to ask Jude to place an order on @home’s lovely online store. I love their products and always find something I absolutely love.
On my list:
Breville Kettle and toaster – to help me with the perfect breakfast every morning, bathroom scale, mattress protector, towels, a throw, and because I love baking I would love a quiche pan, muffin pan, and those awesome Rome measuring cups.

Hi Angie and Hey Jude 🙂
Seeing that the app is so amazing, I would ask hey Jude to organise me a “Nicolas Cage Themed” Birthday Party. If I win the R5 000 I would spend it on a weekend getaway at the Dolphin Coast with my hubby and our three Boston Terriers.

Fingers crossed!!!
I would spend it on a Superbalist haul (my Wishlist is dying to materialise) 🙂
My son is ready to move out of our bedroom (yes we had him in with us… No eye rolling please) So I really need help with organizing and turning the second bedroom into something toddler boy dreams are made of LOL
I would definitely take my husband to Kruger. I’ve recently had major surgery on my leg and foot and have been bed bound for 2 weeks. I have another 8 weeks on crutches ahead of me, and then learning to walk again with physio and occupational therapy. My husband has been absolutely AMAZING looking after me day and night. From my many days in hospital where he broke all the rules of visiting hours to be with me all day while I was in so much pain, and being there to help me use the bed pan (no husband should ever have to do that!!) and help me get to the bathroom and back on my crutches now that I’m home, I would love nothing more than to spoil him with a relaxing break in the bush. He SO deserves it!!
Hey Jude would help me find the best lodge for us – any chance the app can find us a leopard in the bush too?
I would definitely spend the money on a unicorn themed birthday party for my daughter
I would use it on Skateboarding shoes and Skateboarding in general but mostly shoes
My husband is turning 40 and I’m turning 30 in December a few days apart. We want to celebrate getting old with all our friends and family on a rooftop somewhere in Jolburg, really hoping Hey Jude can help us organise it!
I would ask Hey Jude to help me organise a duckling party – because cuddles.
Hey. Why doesn’t ‘hey Jude’ help me book me a ticket to Canada to see my niece and nephew. My nephew is called Jude, funny that. I think it’s feit. I would spend the money Buying stuff for these two mini humans I never get to see. Like buying Jude lank Lego and Danni Jean all the shopkins she has space for.
I’d like HeyJude to help me organise a mermaid and unicorn party for my niece. This would include finding ladies willing to dress up as mermaids to lie around the pool and interact with the kids as well as having pony rides on ponies with “unicorn horns”. It’d be awesome!!! ❤❤❤
I would ask for help getting fantasy forest themed outfits for the boyfriend and I for a wedding we need to attend in December 2017
I would ask hey jude to source me an affordable, reliable and much needed laptop.
I would ask Hey Jude to help me revamp my tiny apartment balcony into a into a beautiful space where I can read and relax. Posting on Instagram @magarimagari17

Ah gosh! We planned a trip to India last year, and towards the end of the year we had just left it too long without making all the necessary arrangements and decided to put it off until December this year (also it’s crazy expensive to travel) alas, here we are, almost in June. We have still planned nothing.
So this is definitely something we could use some help with. (Please haha) We have never been to India, so it’s quite a big task to organize if you know absolutely nothing.
PS: will take Jude with for a good time if we end up going this year.
I would love to use Hey Jude to find me a babysitter and then a place to go for a weekend away to the beach (or somewhere with a fabulous pool..or both), where I can sit and sip cocktails for most parts of the day.
