Week 4 EOC: The Cult of Apple

Our phones are with us everywhere we go. We are constantly looking at them to make sure we don't miss anything. Being a college student, having a job, and participating in community events, I feel as though I am always worrying about whether or not I am forgetting about something. Currently I have a planner; however, planners are so clunky and I can’t always carry mine with me. I always face the issue when I am out of having to remember what I need to write in it since I don’t always have it with me. Due to this I think it would be a great idea if there were an app that is similar to a planner. Yes, we all have a calendar app on our phones but what if we had an app that was similar but more customizable? With my app you would be able to color code all your events. For example work related events could be blue and school events could be orange. You could also categorize events by importance.

The layout would be very similar to a planner. You would be able to choose between a daily view, a weekly view, a monthly view, and a yearly view. Then on the left hand side you would have your notes section. Depending on which layout you have, you would be able to take notes (for example, if it’s a daily view you could make notes about what you need bring to class. If it’s a weekly view, you could make notes about groceries you need to get this weekend). The app would automatically sync with all your other devices so that if you for any reason can’t use your phone you can access all your information from somewhere else.

Overall, I think that an app like this would be very useful for college students because we always have so much on our plate. From scholarship deadlines, to working, to homework, our brains become frazzled with everything we have to remember. My app would allow us to keep all our tasks in one spot on a device that we have with us all the time so we don’t have to worry about anything.
