Simply - Self Care App

Main Menu Navigation Page

Stressing and always looking for the future is no way to live.

This is why we decided to create Simply, a minimalistic app that reminds its users of the seemingly mundane parts of life that we can actually come to appreciate.

A relaxing homebase

The main menu navigation page serves as a comforting and simple homebase that'll lead the user to the different components of the app.

How's the functionality?

The welcome screen leads to the main menu screen, and the main menu screen smoothly moves users into their next screen. Each screen experiences no bugs, though we would like to develop parts further.

Any issues?

We didn't know what app building software to use, but we were both well-versed in Java. Neither of us have had any experience with app/web development.

What we're proud of!

To-do list functionality, newfound familiarity with Android Studio syntax

What did we learn?

How to build a basic app in Android Studio, syntax for software platform, how to build virtual devices,

In the future:

We want to finish developing functionalities for the bullet journal, allow meditation to hold more like a library of meditation videos and guides, make the weather page able to access user's location to get current weather forecast, update UI to be more aesthetically pleasing, build a community board for users to share their tips for relaxation, and add a water tracker.

This was my first time using Android Studio, and I collaborated with Ankisha for front and back end development. This gave me a taste of UI elements, mobile app development, and brainstorming innovative and creative ideas. I worked on building the skeletons for each of the components, the visual design, along with the weather and bullet journal screens. Ankisha worked hard on getting user input to work properly, and I'd love to get more experience of my own in the same area. For our first app, we're both very proud of its (not basic, but) simple functionality.

I worked on many pages of the app. We worked together to learn how to use a new programming environment : Android Studio and were able to create a functioning mobile app. I was able to create a to-do page functionality where users can add items to their to-do list and also delete items. I was also able to create a a meditation page to the app which allows a user to click a button which takes them to a youtube link on a mediation exercise. We worked together in making sure all the buttons and screens link together and in designing the app. Through this app, we learned a lot about creating mobile applications, UI design, and how to use various app building software/techniques.
