2. This app is designed for the younger
generations such as teenagers or
university students. It can also be used
by families and older people as the
format is universal. The wide target
audience means it has good market
potential and there is little competition.
This app has the ability to discover
parks in any city. People moving
somewhere new or visiting for the first
time are always going to need a green
space. Maybe your out with your
friends and want a picnic.
Who doesn’t need a park!
3. The problem many people
face is that they need to find
a park but don’t know where
one is. They could have
moved into a new area and be
looking for the nearest park.
In a large city it can be hard
to find a peaceful place to
relax/play. If you’re at work, a
park is the perfect place to
find inner city tranquillity.
4. How does one go about finding a
good park?
When one visits a brand new
place or has recently started to
get out and about in the local
area. The time to get involved in
the community has never been
better! And what better way than
to have a meeting than in a
wonderful park.
5. It’s easily used when out and about and can be used
even if you don’t know where you are…
6. Our team, Rethink, is
developing Park Finder
to help the younger generations
find parks using GPS. Here is
Harry talking about what it’s all
about!
7. There are little
competitors and the ones
there are, are lacking in
accessibility, which is our
number one goal to
achieve. Our main
competitors are websites,
not apps. These main
competitors are
government websites who
wont be so competitive.

11. Our app has a simple and accessible feel to it
which will massively aid the developers.
There are only a few pages and so this will
lessen the amount of necessary code even
more. We have carefully thought about
utilising google maps software in our app and
we feel that as many other apps already do
this, it is therefore a cost effective strategy.
12. We have chosen to start off our app free,
however have certain features – to be added
later – that will require a fee.
The actual app is fairly simple and so
development costs will be kept
to a minimum.
13. Our marketing strategy is to make the app
free and accessible to everyone. We will
use word of mouth, sponsored on social
networking sites which are widely seen by
the younger generation (our target
audience). We will use hand-out leaflets
in cities to spread the word of our
fantastic and innovative idea.
14. We have been asking lots of
students about our idea and have
been getting some great feedback.
Additionally, we had experts from
the market leading technology firm
Monitise who looked at our work
and gave a lot of very useful advice
and a wonderful insight into the
app-developing world.
Editor's Notes
What is the background situation you are addressing? Describe the context users are experiencing.Example: BuzzerBuddiez: Who? Students What? Students are studying for exams When? 7am Where? Student dorm Why? Late night cramming, student likely to oversleep
What specific problem do people encounter in that situation? Use the results from your user researchExamples: BuzzerBuddiez: your alarm does not work and you are thus late for: school, work, exams, doctor etc Transit: Many parents don’t speak English and their children have to translate the feedback that a teacher provides. When the feedback is negative students mistranslate. Oyster on the Go: You don’t remember how much money you have left on your pay-as-you-go Oyster card and run out of credit when you urgently need to get on a train Cattle Manager: You need to run backwards and forwards between the office and your cows, taking notes on paper and wasting time or loosing notes
What core question are you addressing with the app? Examples: BuzzerBuddiez: how can you avoid oversleeping? Transit: how can negative teacher feedback be translated accurately? Oyster on the Go: how can you be more aware of how much credit you still have on your Oyster card? Cattle Manager: how can you keep track of injections for your cows while you are out and about looking after them?
