Instructions

In week 1, I had proposed a Liho Tea App 2.0. with improvement in it's visual designs, a very general idea that the lecturer had been alright with however he prompted me to think on why I use this app in which I had informed him that I buy drinks from this app due to the amount of deals it offered. From that answer he gave me an app suggestion, which is to make an app that inform you when any deals is currently happening. I was intrigued with the idea but had asked to do some research first before proceeding forward.

In week 2, I had proposed Shopback as an option compared to making an app from scratch. I had proposed two main features addition which was price comparison and point system based on the users' reviews that I had read. The lecturer is alright with the price comparison but expressed concerns on the complexity of the app if points system were to be implemented.

In week 3, I had failed to show major progress and can only ask for details on the tasks, the lecturer showed me mercy and asked me to complete it by next week which I am very grateful for.

In week 4, I had realized that I should've elaborated my slides as the submission didn't require a video presentation. So when I consulted, I mentioned my lack of elaboration and proceed to briefly explain my ideas which he showed no sign of disapproval of and asked me to proceed to finish the slides as well as conclude my proposal in a similar way that I explained my proposal to him.

Feedbacks

Week 1 :

Why did you use Liho Tea app ? how about you make an app from your motivation of using the app itself ?

Week 2 :

I am alright with both features however if you add point system on top of price comparison and all the other features, it will be very overwhelming for users. It might be better to focus on the addition of price comparison instead.

Week 3 :

Please do finish it as soon as possible as the submission is next week.

Week 4 :

Everything good, just need to elaborate more and conclude your presentation the same way you explain your proposal to me.

Reflections

I was very lost at the beginning, I came late during the first week and couldn't fully comprehend what we had to do. I had to ask from my friends and tried to come up with an idea on the spot to get a consultation for the attendance. I knew from the start that my initial idea was very general but I still came forward to get a consultation, the feedback I got was really helpful in guiding me to the current application improvement that I'm doing right now in the proposal.

I was unfortunately very busy with other activities and didn't manage to make any big progress on week 2 and week 3, making me very behind compared to my peers. I struggled quite a lot on finding other app references and trying to find the strength, weakness and what I can bring from the other app to my app. In truth, I had to prompt ChatGPT quite a lot to try and find suitable app that I can use as references on my app. Due to my lack of familiarity with the app, I had to rely on other users' reviews and experiences in order to find gaps that I can fill in by bringing in some new features.
