Research- I will be observing a group of females at Hofstra University ages 21-22

Group Setting

Members of my group

App Concept- For my app I want to create something that can sync a group of people's

schedules and let them know when they all have free times and possibly suggest things in the area that are going on that they can attend. I want to also have a section that you can say for example, “I’m going to the store Wednesday @10” and people can say if they want to join you and it will automatically add it to your calendar.

Ideation Session

Ideation SessionSection 1: Add

- where you input your schedule and add things to the calendar for everyone to seeSection 2: I’m going..

- Where you “check in” to tell people where you are going and to let them join- Ex. “I’m going to the store 10”

Section 3 : Whats going on- This is connected to social media and/or groupon to let you know whats going on in your

area when you are freeSection 4: Settings

- Basic calendar/app settingsSection 5: i’m free

- The available times for everyone will be highlighted

Tighter Application Design- Add

- Allows you to add your schedule, appointments or any kind of date you want to the calendar

- It will allow everyone to see the event you add

Tighter Application Design- I’m Going

- Like “checking in” - You add the place and time of an errant or event you are doing and

people who want to take part in it can check the box letting you know that they want to come with you

- ex. I’m going to the store @ 10 today- “Megan is coming with you”

Tighter Application Design- Whats going on?

- Takes into consideration events in your area, essentially like a groupon type feature

- Sends events and fun things in your desired location that your group can do together in their free time

- ex. events in nyc, local specials at restaurants

Tighter Application Design- Free Dates

- Takes into consideration everyone's inputted schedules and compiles a list of when everyone is free to do things

- Can be used with the Whats going on? feature to find events to do on the days everyone is free

Tighter Application Design- Settings

- General settings section - Allows you to change calendar colors, calendar views, notification

settings and all of the basic settings calendars have

User Scenario Vizualization - Amanda and her

roommates all have busy schedules and are trying to find a date to visit the city together

User Scenario Visualization - The app tells them that

Saturday everyone is free, so they look up coupons and head to the city for lunch!

App Research - Groupme is a messenger app that allows you to make group chats with large numbers of people and “like” peoples

messages and send pictures and videos. Groupme also has a calendar feature which is new-ish to the app and allows people to share a group calendar. I really like the calendar option for groupme although i have never used it myself. I also think being able to make an easy groupchat is awesome and liking peoples comments is something iMessage cant offer.

App Research - venmo is an app that allows your to connect your debit card and pay people online. The excuse of “I dont have cash”

can never be used because in as easy as 2 or three clicks you can transfer money from your bank account to your friends. I really like how simple the app is and I also love the timeline aspect that lets you see who payed your friends and what for.

App Research - switch is a new app I found this summer, Its essentially tinder for jobs. You can swipe left or right to “like” a job and

save it to your file and you can message the company or they can message you if they are interested, or you can apply through their website. I like the simpleness of this app but i’m not sure how great the outcome is.

App Research - This app is so visually pleasing I could look at it all day. It has so much more than the weather app that comes with

your phone, it even has links to other websites with more intense Doppler radar and news casts.

App Research - This app is pretty self explanatory, it syncs all your calendars in one place. The only thing I would change about this

app is I would make it have a monthly view instead of weekly because the iphone calendar has that and i think it

makes it easier to find out whats ahead.
