Concept Review- Pass the Buc is a brilliant idea that a group presented during my class. Basically they created an app where college students can make basically barter trades and communicate for study groups. It is great because while in college money is constantly being spent on tuition, boarding fees, books, food etc. It seems like the government thinks student are rich and that money grows from trees(lets not get technical here). This technology will help save a few extra dollars by making trades of books that you might need for class etc.
The App Overview- Pass the Buc app was very easy to navigate. It had a shortcut to get to their main things like trade and setting up study groups. Also, I thought it was very helpful for them to have a comment part if users had any concern. I thought it was great that they will use the students school mascot for their profile picture. That is a great way to protect students identity and from any predators that may lurk onto the app. Also the GPS is a great feature of the app.Its a great way to narrow interaction down to where students won't schedule a meet up to trade ,or study all the way on the other side of the country.
Improvements-I honestly don't feel like there are any major improvement they need to make. I feel like an app like this will come out very soon. Its very possible and a great way to help out college students.
