Did
the App development come out of a need or desire?
NEED! Who has time to clip coupons and
research the best deals at every store. Coupons are often forgotten at home
anyway and this app ensures that coupons are always available for use.
Identified need:
- In today’s society, who has time to clip coupons? It is very tie consuming and frustrating. Couple that with having to pour over weekly circular ads and you will find yourself pulling your hair out!
- This app allows consumers to easily search sales and find coupons, all while on the go.
- You can be standing in line at a store and pull up a coupon that will save you money!
Who
is the target audience for each App?
Anyone who shops! We all find ourselves
in a store, shopping for something. Why not save money while you are at it!
How
might the Apps benefit the audience, community, nation, world?
This app saves consumers money. You can
search for coupons while standing in line at any store. Most times you will
find savings you did not know existed. Think of it as an elite money-saving
club.
Not only can you search for savings at
the store you are at, you can also view deals at nearby stores. The app even provides
a map to pinpoint the location of each store. It doesn’t get much easier than
that!

So What else are people who downloaded this app buying?
App Design (is it user friendly?)
This app has a fairly clean design. The
large, purple R makes the app easily identifiable. The contrast between the
white background and purple lettering and boxes makes it very easy to see on a
phone screen.
Bottom Line: Download this app (unless you don't like saving money).
