Short answer
On Help Me, a request ends when both people confirm it is done. Exact location sharing then ends automatically, and each person can leave a review. If nobody says yes within two hours, the request closes without a meeting. Reviews are optional and do not replace report and block.
The facts, in one place
- Both people confirm it is done.
- Exact location sharing ends automatically.
- Reviews are optional and two-sided.
- A review does not replace report and block.
Done means done
The jump start worked, or it did not. The walk reached the car. The box made it up the stairs. Both people confirm completion in the request. That is the product's idea of an ending: not an open thread that follows you home.
Location sharing stops
If you agreed to share precise location after a yes, completion ends that sharing automatically. You should not have to remember to turn it off. The rough area was the default, and precision was a temporary, two-person choice.
A review is optional and two-sided
Each person can leave a review, so the other person hears how it went. It is not a public performance and not a leaderboard. It does not replace report and block if something was actually wrong. If the meeting never happened, the two-hour window already closed the ask. You can report or block any member at any time.
Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Questions people actually ask
If nobody says yes within two hours, the request closes and you can try again. Completion and reviews belong to requests that had a yes.
No. If something was wrong or abusive, report and block, leave, and call 911 if you need an official response.
No. Helpers are neighbors, not contractors. Reviews do not turn Help Me into a paid marketplace.
