Background

In the recent year, Qiito has successfully launched their website and has garnered a substantial number of users in their database. As the list grows continuously, a critical issue also starts to surface. Many of their users are currently viewing their website via their mobile phone. To enable the users a better user experience while making use of their website, Qiito has created a mobile web version of their site.


It was then that Qiito realize the opportunities available in a mobile application. Thus, our group is invited to help them create a mobile application for them and to explore the possible avenues within a native application that enable the enhancement of the experience users can have.


Project Description

In order to get a better understanding of the perspective of users concerning travel applications, our group decides to conduct surveys prior to any formation of the project scope. With the results gained, we hope that we can further improve our project scope to what users really want.


Basing on the requirements provided by Qiito and the results obtained, our group has decided to split our application into 3 main sections avid travelers generally look into: Discovery, Itinerary, Memories. The goal of the application is for users to get inspirations, organize, and share possible memories within the Qiito community.

1. Discovery
Users will get to see an array of photos of different places, with specific notes catered to each place. Notes contain any kind of information, from the history to the transportation details. Users will also be able to share new or existing places with their own photos.


2. Itinerary
With the inspirations from a myriad of pictures, users can add these places to a list, which acts as a planned itinerary for future references. This can be viewed online, or downloaded to the phone for offline viewing.

3. Memories
With inspirations and planning settled, it’s time to head off to your dream destination after all that hard work! Users can take photos of their travelling experiences, and store them as a travelogue as part of their memories. Locations can be detected through GPS functions and this will aid users in relieving their wonderful memories.
