I can't tell you how many times I've needed to reach someone over the phone, only to find that I made a mistake when entering their phone number into my phone, or I misread their email address after they'd wrote it down. I was tired of these silly user errors due to outdated forms of communication. So, I decided to write the app TapShare. The thought came to me when I was watching an advertisement for a mobile application that shared multimedia with other mobile users with a simple "bump" (or "tap") of their two phones. I realized this would be a perfect solution for this obvious contact exchange problem, and so I got to work. A couple weeks later I had the application fully designed, taking advantage of near field communication (NFC) technology to allow for fast, seamless information transfer. TapShare fills the holes that similar apps, such as the recently terminated Bump, failed to cover by being faster, easier to setup, and much more intuitive for the user.
