The app is extremely useful in case of sending out messages during an emergency or critical situation. To understand the problem statements and to find out the answers for it a survey was created for a set of audience. It was taken by a total of 46 people from Earthquake and Tsunami affected places.

This factor is key as the users will be in a relative state of shock when there is a need for them to use it. Some of the key aspects of the design will be elaborately explained to understand the features better. •The picture in the slide depicts the home page of the app where the most options are available for the user. The user has an option to send the messages as soon as they login using the “Quick Send” option. •The “Edit text” option is used for changing or editing the text to that which is preferred by the user.

- 7. Native apps A native mobile app is a smartphone application that is coded in a specific programming language, such as Objective C for iOS and Java for Android operating systems. Native mobile apps provide fast performance and a high degree of reliability. They also have access to a phone's various devices, such as its camera and address book. In addition, users can use some apps without an Internet connection. However, this type of app is expensive to develop because it is tied to one type of operating system, forcing the company that creates the app to make duplicate versions that work on other platforms. Most video games are native mobile apps.
- 8. How Native apps helps: Hybrid App: This type of application has cross-platform compatibility but can still access a phone’s hardware. It is developed using platforms such as Sencha, PhoneGap and Mosync. Dedicated Web App: A website that is tailored to function on a mobile device. These are tailored to a specific platform and will not work on other smartphones or feature phones. Generic Mobile App: A mobile website that will work with all mobile phones. In the early stages of the smartphone market, most apps were tailored to the iPhone. However, the market share for Android phones grew, thus, the need for cross-platform functionality became an issue.
Editor's Notes
- Play the slide show for this presentation to listen to the audio commentary by Peter Walsh and view slide timings. Or, click the sound icon on a slide for controls that you can use to hear the audio at your own pace. A little organization will go a long way to enhancing your PowerPoint presentation. Your title slide should be catching and relevant to your audience – offer something in the title that your audience wants. Keep some basic principles in mind: Your slides should complement what you have to say, not say it for you. Keep slides direct and to the point - less is more! Choose a background color or design that enhances and complements your presentation rather than competes with it. Don’t get too fancy - a simple font, elegant color scheme and clear message is more important than lots of information (clutter!) on the slide. Keep it simple! The purpose of the PowerPoint slide is to keep the mind of your audience focused – fewer words are better.
