Our SurveyDo you think this app can be helpful to our society ?

Yes 98%No 2%

If such app existed, the society as a whole will get better,

people will get to meet up with people and befriend them, and even benefit from each other! I also think it would be awesome if the app contained categories, such as school books, university

books, informative books, stories etc.

It’s a really great idea

It Can help people with

difficult financial situations

Reviews:

Problems• Books are essential .

• Books are overpriced.

• Buying school books is a heavy load on Families with many kids.

• School Books must be bought every year.

• Lots of books get thrown away each year.

Our idea• YES Textbooks are overpriced but it doesn’t

have to be that way.

• Our idea is to build an app that gives people the option to get used books for a price that is affordable to everyone including people with difficult financial situations.

• The app enables people to give their used school

books to someone else who need them instead of throwing them away or leaving them lying unused.

Our idea

• .

Features• Our application is based on Web Service.

Future Plans• Messages: In the future, we

plan on adding the option to send messages between the seller of a certain book and its buyer to make it easier for them to communicate.

• News: We also plan on adding a news page in which the user can check the newest books added.

• Furthermore, we want to offer the users the option to ask for a book that isn’t available at the moment.

Future Plans• We also plan on using

Google Maps for the following purpose:When a user searches for a book, we can calculate the minimum number of KM between him and the seller.Therefore, we can reduce the shipping costs. Using this idea, buying books can even be more affordable.

Future Plans• One of the profitable incomes in the future would

be opening a library in which sellers can offer their used books.

• We can also sell school supplies to make it easier for people who are already in the library to buy the books that are offered thus saving their time .
