  Review Card

As students looking for an apartment to live in for the next school year, it is a difficult and grueling task to look for an apartment that not only fits your budget but also provides quality that matches that budget. Since this school year is about to come to an end, we know that many students will have to find a new place to live and we want to make it easy as possible to find the best apartment for each individual.

Rate My Apartment is an application that allows users to make reviews about an apartment. These reviews include a scale from one to three for the price point (one is cheap and three is expensive), a text box for any experiences or comments, and an icon that displays the number of rooms and bathrooms that the user had.

First, we drew out our ideas and prototype through Figma and used mainly React native to build our app. To build our map, we attempted to use WebMap to display the locations of the apartments with their specific pins.

Unfortunately, we were not able to finish building the map portion, running into difficulties that would not allow the map to print on our screen. With more time, we may have been able to debug our problems and figure out what went wrong.

We were proud of our home screen, or first page, as we aimed for a sleek and minimalistic look that we think we achieved quite well.

With this project, we tried to learn how to use the WebMap API, as it was new to all of us. We also discovered how fast 24 hours went by, as sometimes we think we have enough time to do a certain portion but we end up running into difficulties, whether it is bugs or something that doesn't look the way we want it to.

What's next for Rate My Apartments? We will have to fix the WebMap portion, which is our priority, then add other details, such as an email authenticator.
