2. Who: People that are having apps that don’t work and
when you have been shopping and get lost in the car
park.
What: We are addressing the problem of not knowing
what time your bus is coming and train times or if you
are lost in a car park.
When: If you are going to school wanting to know when
the bus/train comes.
Where: at you local car park, bus stop, train station or a
map of the world.
Why: so we can help people know when their bus or train
is coming.
3. This app is for people that face the
problem of being late for work and the bus
stop app on your phone does not work, or train
station times don’t work at the station lost in
a shopping car park. The app is simple use so
that you can easily navigate around, without
losing any time reading some complicated
4. The Question
Have you ever waited ten minutes for a bus,
20 minutes or even thirty minutes. Have
you ever missed the train by a mere two
minutes or one minute. Or ever gone on a
hike and not known where you are and been
without Wi-Fi or mobile network?
5. We use maps of local areas to find
the bus stop times that the person
wants and give them the time, we do
the same thing for train stations and
the car locator.
6. My team is M8 Apps, is developing Lost
to help Teenagers and adults know where the
closest train station, when the bus comes,
where your car is and a map of the area. Our
app stands out because not many good apps
have multiple apps in one. Also to make our app
more unique we have a special function where
you set how long it takes you to get to your
station and the app will alarm you of when to
leave. For example if it takes you 10 minutes to
get to your station, the app will alert you to
leave 15 minutes beforehand to make sure you
get what you need.
7. Other apps on the market don’t solve
the problem that our app does, it takes
up less space because it saves having to
look at multiple apps, also it is cheap
compared to some of the other app that
do not perform the same quality of
service to their paying customers
8. Our app is able to show the times when the
bus stop you are looking for is going to come
and does the same for the train station, we
also have a car locator which helps you find
your car if you have forgotten where it is in a
car park, we also have a map just for getting
around when trying to find a nice restaurant or
trying to find a shopping centre. We also have a
main page for clicking on what one you want.

10. Description:
A great app for all those that
enjoy travelling and sometimes
find themselves in a sticky
situation. Great for checking
the time of your train or bus.
Can locate your car if you
can't find it in a large car
park. Doesnt need Wi-Fi or
mobile network. Works by
satellite communication.
11. This is our homepage. We have
onscreen buttons on the
bottom to simplify the
navigation of our app. From our
homepage you have access to
move to our bus stop page,
train station page, car locator
and a map.
12. This is our train station page. At
the bottom of the page is your
search results and it is in a table
so that it is simple and easy on
the eye. We have drop down
menus to help you move from one
page to another as quickly and
smoothly as possible. Also in the
middle of the screen we have a
map showing where your nearest
train station is.
13. This is our map and this is
where you can locate a shop
near your or just find out
where you are if you are lost in
the woods. Also if you are lost
in the big city this can locate
the nearest restaurant or the
nearest public toilet.
14. This is our bus stop
part/page of our app where
you can find your bus stop
and what times it is due also
it shows a map so if you
need to find somewhere you
can use this but its
recommended to use the
map on our app.
15. Our app uses a data connection to check the bus
times, train times and maybe to locate yourself on
the map. It does have an offline mode which you can
use if you use the map or the car locator. If you are
in offline mode you will not use any data and the
pages of our app that requires data will not work as
well. If you disconnect from the network it will
automatically add you on to offline mode.
16. We would be able to
reduce the price off the
app if some people are
long term users of our
app to boost the amount
of long term users. We had a survey and most
people were happy to pay the
69p and had some exclusive
months free. Also the main
reason they were happy to pay
it was that most aspects of our
app did not need Wi-Fi so you
can use it anywhere.
17. The best time to launch this
app would be the spring
/summer time as this is the
time that many people go on
hikes and holidays meaning
are likely to get lost and buy
our app.
I used to always miss
the bus in the morning
and my stop does not
have the bus times
there, so sometimes I
have almost been late
for school. This app
would really help as it
does not even need Wi-
Fi, so I can use this app
whenever and wherever.
