Review of “Invoice Payment App”

lenaadl — Thu, 17 Nov 2016 00:19:31 +0000

To have an overview of your spending, the invoice payment app should also provide a table for these. As it already needs an interface to your online banking apps, it should use this interface for collecting your spending as well. Online banking apps often provide this function, but in your invoice app you could summarize all of the amounts of your different bank accounts.

So you have an overview of the amounts and the corresponding bank account of your spending. It should also offer the opportunity to add categories for grouping and filtering your spending.

German Christmas Market

In Germany, from end of November til Christmas there are Christmas Markets in every city. It would be nice to have them in the states, too.

There are boothes with food, hot beverages and boothes to buy decorations, jewelry and a lot of other things. You could also buy alcoholic drinks like mulled wine and mulled cider.

For the kids, there should be carousels as well. Moreover, a skating rink can be assembled in cities, where it is cold enough and not too expensive to cool the ice.

Furthermore, it would be nice to have a Santa Claus walk around and give sweets out for the children.

Bar code scanning App

Often prices of the same product vary in different stores. If you are in a store and want to buy a product, it would be nice to know if the price is good, compared to other stores. Otherwise it is really annoying to find the same article in a different store for a better price a day later. Therefore, a bar code scanning app would be helpful. You could scan the bar code and the app searches for this product in the Internet. It should provide you current prices in online shops, as well as customer reviews.

Car tracking App

It is annoying, if you parked your car but do not remember where exactly. Moreover, if you haven’t used your car for a few days and then want to drive a longer distance, it is annoying not to know your tank level. Therefore it would be nice to have an app to monitor the data of your car.

Invoice Payment App

If you have to pay an invoice, it is annoying to type in all the data. For companies there already exist possibilities to scan bills and automatically book them in their accounting system. It would be nice to have this possibility as a private individual, too. You could use an app to take a picture of your bill and then the app scans the data and insert it in your online banking app. You just need to confirm the data and so pay the bill.

Review of “Fashion App”

lenaadl — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 17:58:13 +0000

The Fashion app should be expanded by proposals. If you open the app, it should suggest you an outfit for the day. Additionally, the app needs an integration of a weather forecast (for example https://openweathermap.org/). So the suggestions can be based on the temperature.

Targeted customers could be especially young women and girls. Therefore, the commercials should use social media channels, like Facebook.

Online courses for electrical devices

lenaadl — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 06:58:33 +0000

The elderly sometimes have problems to understand how to install apps on their computer or smartphone or adjust the settings. These often are just simple issues, but they are too afraid to do something wrong to try it themselves. Therefore, online courses can be helpful to provide a basic understanding of the devices and operating systems, as well as giving instructions for small problems like installing an app.

Fashion app

If you do not know what clothes to wear, a fashion app could help you to find ideas. It should include prevailing fashion ideas out of different fashion magazines. If you want to wear a red shirt, you should be able to search for it to find ideas how to combine it. Then you can mark your favorite photos to start your own collection of fashion ideas.

In addition to this, the app should include the possibility to include pictures of your own clothes. So you can get an overview and save your favorite outfits.

Review of “Archive app”

lenaadl — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 06:45:16 +0000

The archive app should be expanded by standard categories, for example for the wine bottles. There should be an automatism for image recognition, which assign new pictures to this categories.

Furthermore, you should have the possibility to add additional information to the pictures, in the wine example this could be the brand, grapes etc. To simplify this, a character recognition should be included to get the text out of the pictures automatically.

Archive app

lenaadl — Mon, 24 Oct 2016 01:17:03 +0000

I often take pictures with my phone to remember something: A bottle of wine I drank, a recipe, a business card. All of these photos are stored anywhere in my phone and I have to scroll through all of the pictures to find them again.

Therefore, an app for archiving these photos would be helpful. You just take a photo, select a category and the app organizes it. You should be able to choose the categories on your own, so in this example “Wine”, “Recipes”, “Contacts”.

If you then want to find a specific bottle of wine, you just have to choose it from all pictures of wine in this app.
