Overview

Description

AOK (Act of Kindness) is an application that allows users to receive daily prompts for acts of kindness. Users may select which time of day they would like the notification as to not be blindsided. Users may complete these tasks and then respond to another notification (12 hours later for daily) which queries the task completion and prompts for a response. Alternatively, users may mark the task as completed within the app. A history view is also present to display act of kindness history and completion status.

App Evaluation

[Evaluation of your app across the following attributes]

• Category: Lifestyle, Wellness
• Mobile: The product experience is uniquely mobile as no one wants to login and out of a website to receive an act of kindness and to report on its completion.
• Story: The story is compelling to those who wish to make a small positive difference in others' lives. My friends and family might use this app. Again, that's a maybe.
• Market: The market for this app is useful to a niche group of individuals that seek to make a difference in others' lives.
• Habit: The app is not addictive but the task proposed and interaction with the app should take no longer than 2 minutes a day.
• Scope: I'm not sure how long it would take to create but I imagine it won't be lengthy. I believe the product I wish to build is fairly clearly defined.

Still to be completed

I have implemented all Stories except the difficulty feature (e.g. easy, medium, hard acts of kindness). I've had a change of heart and concluded that life is already hard enough, to go out of your way to complete a difficult task for someone just isn't worth it. Simple tasks are good enough.
