App Research

Food Apps:

Deliveroo-

Deliveroo is a British online food delivery company founded in 2013. The service has reached a mainstream audience in recent years and has impacted the way we order takeaway irreversibly. I wanted to observe the layout of the app and how it might affect our design. The app uses a simple colour palette to contrast with the colourful imagery of the food. This use of colour was thought to be too sterile when applied to our game concept (games typically have a colorful background). As a student on a budget, I reserve delivery services such as this in situations where I'm too unwell to make my own food and it has been very useful.

Mealime-

Mealime is an American meal planner app founded in 2014. I have used the app for my weekly shop once, but later discovered it to be American in the method (told to measure in cups, which does not translate to British cooking). The service also requires a Pro subscription to access most of the recipes, which is not affordable for students. The layout of the app is very easy to use and there are not excessive design choices which make it hard to navigate. Much like Deliveroo, it has a simple colour palette. The use of green is present within my selected colour palette, as this was within most food apps and conveys organic living. The service also uses a very similar san serif font to Deliveroo.

Nosh:

I was gifted a Nosh book targeted towards students. The company idea was formed based on the author's son, who did not know how to cook during his time at uni. Joy May wanted to solve this issue and a succession of books have been released since. The app has a downloadable book section for which you receive the grocery list. The method however, is provided within the book. As a picky eater and not a big meat-eater, this book didn't work in my favour. Many, almost all, included meat. The app itself is effective, but could be improved through uploading the grocery list to your selected supermarket, as Mealime does. The price inclusion is a good idea when considering the budget of students. The app again uses a san serif font and a white and green colour palette.

Apps Essential to University Life-My Personal Observation:

These are apps I looked at prior to the decision of diet and cooking focus.

WalkSafe-

This app provides the most safe route home by analysing verified police data posted using the latest monthly police reports. I have used this during a night out in Bristol with my sibling and it felt reassuring to have. The design of the app uses a white and blue colour palette and simple navigation. This is effective as in a situation of fear, you want to be able to access something like this quickly. I learnt about the app through an advertisement poster which featured young people on a night out, which suggests the target audience.

Uber-

Uber allows you to connect to nearby registered drivers who can get you from a-b. I used this service during my trip to Rome with friends and this was great when trying to navigate an unknown area. I think this service to be essential to university life as often times, there are not enough taxis to go round during a night out. Buses also stop during the later hours.

UniBuses-

Depending on your location, bus apps are really helpful when planning out your journey. These apps provide a journey planner where you can put in your location and desired trip. This has helped me plan out my days in advance as well as view the live location of the buses.

Trainline-

Trainline is essential to a uni student who travels and has helped me on all my train journeys. It allows you to buy tickets at the last minute, without the hassle of a ticket machine. The ticket is digital and so there is no risk of it becoming lost. My favourite feature is the live tracker, so I know when to expect my arrival as well as any updates as to whether the train has changed or been cancelled. This app again uses a white and turquoise colour palette as well as a black sans serif.

CityMapper-

This app is good for city locations and I have used it when visiting London. The app helps users to find areas using a filtration system of walks, cycles, scooters, buses tube and rail routes. This app also uses white and green and a san serif font. In my personal experience however, I have found the app over complicated and too difficult to understand, especially amongst the bustle of cities. My parents and boyfriend found it hard to navigate also.

Canvas-

Many universities use Canvas as their intranet. The app version however, has many missing information on lessons and cannot be viewed properly unless on a full screen.

LinkedIn-

LinkedIn is useful in making connections to others from your uni and outside. It has a simple system like many other social media platforms and again uses a basic colour palette.

Fatsoma-

My go-to for ordering nightclub tickets, this app is very easy to use. My complaint is the excessive use of notifications. The app uses a white background and a black san serif font.

UniDays-

A discount code app for students, I have found the app to be temperamental. It would often give me inaccurate codes. Again, white and green palette.

StudentBeans-

Another discount code app, most codes on here load up onto websites which are nowhere to be seen. Would prefer if they kept the old copy and paste option. They have a purple colouring which is unusual to see, but it stands out against the others.

NHS App-

Vital for those who move away from home. Keeps all doctors notes and prescriptions. Allows me to order my medication without having to call surgery. Easy to navigate but a pain to set up.

Vinted-

My go-to for second-hand clothing. Many discounted clothes from popular sellers such as Urban Outfitters, has allowed me to own unique and fashionable clothes without breaking the brank. Blue and white palette.

Timetree-

My favorite calendar app that I share with my friends, family and boyfriend. I have a calendar for each and it allows us to plan around each of our responsibilities and activities. White and green palette, I like the stylisation of the logo as being that of a clock but in leaf form. Simple but effective idea that is reflected in the app navigation.

Avatar Apps:

Bitmoji-

This app is used to design you avatar on the social media platform Snapchat. The app provides a lot of variation in styles and companies use their wardrobe section to promote their clothing. Typical of avatar design, there is an outfit, face, body and accessories section. Each section allows for the selection of colour. I tried to incorporate this into my design.

Avatoon-

This app follows the same premise. This format influenced how I initially drew out the avatar section. This app is much more restrictive than Bitmoji as it requires a subscription for me advanced features, but the stylistic choice is very similar to that of Bitmoji.

Cooking Game Apps:

Cooking Mama-

Our primary inspiration, Cooking Mama is a game that was popular during our childhood. As observed in my Penguin Books project, nostalgia is important to Gen Z and how they interact with brands. Creating familiarity within our game would encourage users to interact with the lessons. A feature we have been inspired by are the cutting directions provided by GIF arrows and lines, which will appear in our video lessons. We thought to include this as we had all found it difficult to learn how to cut different foods in different ways-and learning these essential skills makes for better food and ultimately, a confident cook.

Cooking Fever-

This game differed to Cooking Mama in that the gameplay was more of a drag-and-drop action rather than directly interacting with the food. We wanted demonstrations of how to prep and cook food and so this type of gameplay did not apply to our end goal.

I downloaded the walksafe app and what the Heck why is there so many

[simoncowelhatepagebutbgtiscool]

i don't usually get like any sort of serious on my board and i hope even if one person sees this that it will make them safer.

DELETE THE WALKSAFE APP.

DELETE IT RIGHT NOW.

as someone who is explicitly part of the 99%, this app could have easily fooled someone to coming up their with me.

please delete it, i'm begging.

*Continuation * *Continuation* So many were afraid to come here but we loved our community. We have been engaging our community working with partners that are passionate about Change and Empowerment . We are going on our eleventh year. Our community was struck with violence many organizations came and leave but we the residents along with some organizations that understand our cause worked tirelessly to build up our community. It’s amazing the rifters that come and go all in the name of we want our price too. The thing is when they realize that it takes commitment a whole lot of work no money or whatever money they get is done they quickly run off. Thankful for the true community minded souls that are here because they desire to help us make a difference shout out to all our volunteers and community partners. A special shout out to @officerarsenault and now retired superintendent Mark Fenton for helping us to get to where we are right now we couldn’t have built what we have without the support of his fast forward community engagement thinking . I remember Mark quote on his first Safe Walk Trail “It takes a village to raise a child ” Randy you are a true community connector the Impact of Change we have made together you truly demonstrate what community engagement is all about community It’s not about a photo-opt for us it took work a whole lot of it. #community #children#copsandchildren#summercamp#singing#walksafe#happy#mornelleallstars #partnership#mission#vision#workingtogether#economic#mornelleallstars#community#buildinstrongercommunties#purpose#kindness#society#safety#tearingdownbarries#volunteers#compassion#kindness#love#destiny#purposehomework#commitment https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxvlpa0FhH4/?igshid=ea4sp4twciii

Just a reminder to anyone heading home from Drink and Draw, work, a night out...the nights are dark so make yourself visible if you walk on the road to get home. Light coloured clothing, reflectors and the good old phone flashlight will make you visible to drivers.

A presentation obtained by The Varsity that appears to have been delivered by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) outlines which fees will be considered “essential” under the Student Choice Initiative (SCI). The SCI is a policy announced by the provincial government that will give students a choice to opt out from certain fees.

The presentation is dated February 4, and also lays out the requirements for rolling out the opt-out and compliance and enforcement systems of the policy.

These policies are part of the MTCU’s recently announced changes to postsecondary education funding, first put forth by the TCU Minister Merrilee Fullerton on January 17.

Services considered essential are athletics and recreation, career services, health and counselling, academic support, student ID cards, transcripts and convocation processes, financial aid offices, walksafe programs, and student buildings, including student centres. Student transit passes, which only UTM has, are also considered essential.

Any programs not within these categories are considered non-essential. Individual fees must fit into one of the essential categories to be mandatory.

This is bad news for any of us that were holding out hope that campus food banks might be designated as an essential service.

A spokesperson for MPP Merrilee Fullerton said last week that colleges and universities would have flexibility to decide on their own which fees students would be allowed to opt out of, but the leaked presentation shows that this isn’t true.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

The University of Windsor's campus radio station is eliminating its only part-time staff position, ahead of expected funding cuts from the province's Student Choice Initiative.

In 2018, Lauren Hedges signed a one-year contract to work as CJAM's music director. On Apr. 4, the station's board of directors voted not to renew her position. However, the board also voted not to hire someone to replace her.

"The Student Choice Initiative has really jeopardized the funding for campus community radio stations," said Hedges. "In anticipation of those cuts, our board of directors had to make decisions to help ensure the longevity of the station."

In January, the provincial government announced its intent to allow students to opt out of most ancillary fees, with the exception of walksafe programs, health and counselling, athletics, recreation, academic support and transit passes.

Between 60 and 70 per cent of CJAM's annual budget comes directly from student funding — a five-dollar fee included in the tuition costs of all full-time undergraduate students each semester.

https://artistixeit.com/blog-details/what-are-the-benefits-of-a-react-native-for-startups

In the last few years,  React native has become the de facto choice for creating scalable web and mobile solutions. It is possible to create web and mobile user interfaces using JavaScript using both of these technologies. JavaScript library for creating user interfaces, React is open-source. The goal of both is to simplify the process of developing JavaScript interfaces and to build them quickly.

Why Developers Are Using React Native For Startups?

The world's top startups are built on React Native: Airbnb, Facebook, Facebook Ads, Instagram, Discord, Walmart, Uber Eats, Discovery VR, Wix, Gyroscope, Bloomberg, Myntra, Soundcloud Pulse, Huiseoul, Pinterest, Adidas, GLITCH, Skype, Tesla, Whym, WalkSafe, and Shine. A number of tools, documentation, and resources are available to assist you in getting started. There were other companies on the same path as these. In order to complete the task, they used a combination of technologies, frameworks, and other resources. There is a vibrant ecosystem, a racy platform, and an efficient quality of apps. Since the need to have a single code for multiple platforms emerged, cost-effectiveness became more important.

How Can You Tell  React Native is Good for Your StartUp?

You should be familiar with the basics of React Native, consider its advantages and disadvantages, and consider the ways that you can integrate React Native features into your mobile app. User interface components are created using JavaScript and converted to iOS and Android platforms using native code.

Which Cross-Platform Mobile App Framework is The Best For A StartUp?

Cost of Mobile App Development

Time-to-Market

Post-Launch Upgrades

Availability of skilled developers

React Native Brings What Positives to Mobile App Development?

There are reusable blocks (UI components) in React Native that can be written once but used in multiple places. It leverages a platform's native functionality like GPS, Camera, and Microphone to extend its capabilities. Installation and setup of the coding environment are less expensive. Framework versions are rarely upgraded, making it a stable framework.

Reasons why React native is ideal for Startups?

A wide range of benefits are offered by React Native, which is why startups choose it for developing their products. Below are the benefits React native offers, both from a business and a technical perspective, to help you decide which tech stack is right for your startup.

Business Perspective 

Outstanding User Experience

In the process of launching an application on the market, user experience is one of the most important factors to consider. All mobile users will benefit from React Native's user experience. Additionally, react-native provides a variety of native-like UI components. It allows mobile UIs with fluid interaction to be created using asynchronous JavaScript in a native environment.

Access to the Larger Talent pool

Using React Native to build a cross-platform app won't require you to worry about finding the right talent. For access to global talent, you can hire freelancers or offshore developers.

Shorter Time-to-Market

An application's development time, from being an MVP to getting into your customer's hands, is crucial to the success of a startup. The code for iOS and Android is over 90% the same. React Native's code reuse function enables developers to develop apps faster because of its code reusability. A MVP is a quick version of the application that you can launch. The next update of the application will allow you to add further functionality.

Cost-Effective

The budget is a critical factor that startups worry about. The cost of hiring react native developers from India is as low as $15 per hour. It is possible for startups to reduce the cost and time of developing their applications. All code must be written in JSX and can be used across a variety of platforms.

Development Flexibility

React developers only have to modify the code once, and it will be applied, whereas native developers must update the code on both Android and iOS platforms.

Technical Perspective

In addition to its impactful technical benefits, react native is an excellent technology for SMEs as well as enterprise applications:

Back-end Technology Compatibility

The React Native framework supports various back-end technologies, such as Django, Node.js, and Ruby on Rails.

Hot Reloading

A hot reload is simply a process that allows you to update your app code while it is still running. You can significantly speed up the development of your app by allowing it to refresh automatically.

Reusable Component

Its reusable component feature is one of the best things about react native. Ads work for both iOS and Android, and each update is sufficient to update a particular component.

Supports Third-party integration

A goal of React Native is to make development as quick as possible. There are several third-party plugins and frameworks you can use, such as NativeBase (which lets you build native-like apps) or Galio (a UI component library).

Single Codebase

After Facebook's iOS apps became a great success, the company decided to include Android support in its javascript library. It was decided to conduct the trial on the iOS platform. Mobile Ul is provided by the same frameworks using react native, and the codebase for both iOS and Android is the same.

Modular Architecture

Modularity is the hallmark of the React-Native architecture. A module or a discrete block of code may be used to separate and swap out different software functions.

The modular architecture benefits the design team because developers can dive deeper into each other's projects if necessary, simplifying updating. In addition to React Native's modular architecture, it also supports reusing modules that are useful for both web and mobile APIs. This makes it quick and easy for programmers to upgrade and update their apps.

Access to Native APIs

React Native apps sometimes require native platform APIs that are not fully available in JavaScript. Using Objective-C, Swift, Java, or C++ libraries would be a good option if you wish to reuse some existing libraries. It can also be used for tasks such as processing where multi-threading and high-performance code is required.

This gives the UI the appearance of JavaScript rather than a framework. This process simplifies the process of building mobile apps, and the user interface works seamlessly to provide high-end, responsive results.

Declarative Style

In imperative style, it's more important what you want to accomplish rather than how you want to accomplish it. Let's say you hire a private chef to prepare a meal in your home; instead of telling him what to cook, you tell him what to order.

How Can React Native Contribute to Your Project’s Success

Let's take a look at how React Native can make your next mobile product better. From our experience, these are the key benefits of using React Native Mobile App Development:

Shared codebase

According to React Native, 70-90% of your code can be shared between iOS and Android, depending on your app's complexity. Having a shared codebase greatly simplifies developers' work since every codebase needs to be maintained, updated, and cared for. The issue is especially acute for startups at the beginning of their development, since they value their time and money highly and aim to maximize their efficiency

Decreased time-to-market 

The main purpose of React Native is to simplify the process of creating a fully functional app. The shared code allows startups to release products faster, reducing the time necessary to respond to market needs, confirm their business idea, and deliver MVPs to end users as soon as possible. 

Native-like Interfaces

 It isn't necessary to be worried that your cross-platform app will be worse than a native app. It is true that some cross-platform technologies don't provide the same level of mobile performance as native applications (for instance, hybrid and web apps). However, with cutting-edge solutions like React Native, the difference is nonexistent. Users can also experience a smooth and native-like experience with React Native because native components are used in the interfaces.

Mixing with React Native Technologies

React Native is completely compatible with other platform-specific languages, like Swift or Java. A feature like this comes in handy when you need to develop modules in your app that connect to third-party services or use platform features, like the camera.

Conclusive

A React Native app gives the user a native experience, since the components directly access the native platform widgets, unlike Cordova, where HTML and JavaScript are embedded inside a WebView.

As React Native's code renders fast without waiting for the browser to respond, the library is popular among JS developers. A component-based architecture, server-side rendering via native APIs, community-driven innovation, third-party plugins, declarative code, reduced costs, and an open-source community make it ideal for reusing components. A component-based framework allows developers to create apps more quickly and efficiently than most hybrid frameworks.

The React Native ecosystem is maturing with every release, and competitors like Google Flutter will find it hard to catch up. Please reach out if you need assistance with React Native App Development!
