5. 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.

Section 1: Add
- where you input your schedule and add things to the calendar for everyone to see
Section 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 : What's going on
- This is connected to social media and/or groupon to let you know what's going on in
your area when you are free
Section 4: Settings
- Basic calendar/app settings
Section 5: i’m free
- The available times for everyone will be highlighted

12. 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”

13. 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

14. 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 What's going on? feature to find events to do on
the days everyone is free

18. App Research
- Groupme is a messenger app that allows you to make group chats with large numbers of people and “like” people's
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 group chat is awesome and liking people's comments is something
iMessage can't offer.

- venmo is an app that allows your to connect your debit card and pay people online. The excuse of “I don't 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.

20. App Research
- switch is a new app I found this summer, It's 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.

21. 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.

22. 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 what's ahead.
