2. iCitizen
iCitizen aims to increase the positivity in a society. Once you’ve installed the app, you’ll receive a
task daily which is beneficial to those around you. It is scientifically proven, and additionally
published in documents such as Shawn Achor’s “The Happy Secret to Better Work”, that helping
others and making them feel better is a major endorphin release trigger. Therefore, we have
come up with a fantastic brand new app that has multiple exciting features! The main concept of
the app is good deeds. Everyday, you get a task for the day such as picking up litter for 5 minutes
or paying for someone’s coffee!
Further features include:
• a Facebook and Twitter share compatibility
• a map of your local area where markers pop up where people require good deeds. The people
requiring help will usually be old people as they are not as capable of completing everyday
tasks as they used to be
• a skip button so you could switch your task in case of a difficulty
3. In this situation people do not know how to act in a friendly
an caring way which leads to them pushing away potential
friends.
4. Can people make more friends when they are acting friendlier
to everyone else?
5. We are attempting to combat the issue that many people in
the world cannot function properly in society.
6. This is a genuine problem for many people, especially the unlucky
people who have autism which stops them interpreting face gestures
and body language correctly. In this situation people do not know how
to act in a friendly an caring way which leads to them pushing away
potential friends.
7. This app aims to encourage helpful and overall nice
behaviour in people as well as rewarding them. It will help
people who have trouble fitting into society like people with
autism. It will hopefully draw advertisements so we can
reward people who have earned enough points on their
device with free apps. You get a task a day and the more you
complete in a row the more points you pile up. When you
reach a certain amount of points you will be rewarded with a
free app for your device. This will be paid for through
companies advertising through this app.
8. Not many of these type of apps exist in the market at the
moment so we saw this as a large advantage.
9. This is the easy to use main page
of iCitizen. It gives you your task
of the day and you have to try
and complete it by midnight.
10. After you have completed your task
the app tells you haw many points you
have so far. You can also post your
score on social networking sites. It will
also send it to your friends. So they
can send you challenges to try and
complete.
11. This is the friendly welcoming screen
that will greet you when you open the
app. This design will hopefully be
incorporated in the whole app.
12. We hope that when the score is posted more people will want to get
the app so that they can challenge people.
