The document describes an app called QuitAddict designed to help children and teenagers reduce the amount of time spent on electronic devices like game consoles and phones. The app aims to provide insight into addiction, a flexible progress tracker to log screen time, and suggestions for outdoor activities. The creators conducted a survey that showed efficiency and flexibility were important features for the progress tracker. Their market research found no existing apps specialized in video game addiction. The marketing strategy will use social media and a website to promote the app to its target audience.

QuitAddict Elevator Pitch

3. Who for, What for, When for, Where for, Why for
The situation that we are trying to address here is
when children mostly of the age of 12-18 are addicted
to the their game console or their phone screens. The
aim of our app is to get the children to get active and
reduce the net total time that they are playing on a
console.

4. Problem
QuitAddict: our app aim is to help
children and teens to cut down the time
that they spend on their devices.
Especially on their game consoles. We
have come to this as many children
suffer from this problem and it is a
major problem for parents according to
our survey results.

5. From the 119 people that completed our survey, 62 people cited the efficiency as the most important
part of the app. 28 people said that the most important part of the app was the flexibility of the
Progress Tracker, allowing users to input data easily and efficently.

6. How can our app help you?
The question we are trying to address here
is “How can I cut down on screen time?”.
The answer? An insight into their addiction,
a flexible progress tracker and a list of fun
activities that the user can do outdoors. As
well as this, we give the user an easy input
format for the amount of time they spend
on their electrical devices each day.

7. Does our app solve a real world problem?
Many surveys have been conducted in recent years. One survey shows
that over 10% of children under the age of 18 in China have suffered
from or will suffer from video game addiction. As well as this, many
people who are going through a personal struggle will be more likely to
try to escape from the reality of their problems and spend more time
in the world of the internet.

8. We began by searching the three leading app
stores (Google Play, Apple and Amazon) we found
no apps that specialized in helping people to
solve video game addiction. The closest app to
ours was an app that claimed it was capable of
solving any addiction. However, it received a
mediocre rating of 3.6 on the Google Play store,
with many people complaining about the
restrictions with the progress tracker. We aim to
capitalize on this by creating a tracker which
allows flexibility for the amount of data the user
puts in.
Research

9. We started by trying to appeal to people who are
suffering from multiple addictions, but decided to
scrap this idea on the basis that it would be difficult,
seeing as none of us have ever suffered from any
addictions ourselves. We settled on focusing on video
game addiction, simply because many people our age
suffer from this. We also decided to scrap some ideas
such as activities to do outdoors, seeing as many of
the ideas wouldn’t technically be ours.
