Our Idea

The idea we have chosen going out from our first brainstorming sessions is a mobile app we have chosen to call: “Var ska jag?" or “Where should I?".

The app aims to help people figure out what they should do, whether it is finding a place to eat, a place to get a drink or simply a place to have fun at. The application uses Yelp’s API to find places nearby matching what the user wants to do.

The user can open the application and chooses a category, for example, “Where should I eat?". The user then shakes the device and the application will randomly select a place to eat using Yelp’s API. The application will show details of the restaurant retrieved from Yelp. If the user is satisfied with the result they can navigate towards the place. If not, they can shake the device again and a new place will be selected.

This application will both be an aid for people new to a city to locate a place to do their desired activity and also allow people to explore the city they already know, in a new way.
