SpotCheck is a mobile application that allows college students to check the occupancy of locations like libraries and cafeterias to save time. It provides real-time outlooks, customization, and suggestions unlike Google Maps. Initial user testing with college students found the feature for checking locations to be very important. Feedback indicated the need for this type of mobile service and the importance of considering restrictions and being open to all user comments.
