They liked the whole idea and gave me a helping hand to take the work further and that is how the app has seen the light of the day. CoronApp for mobile browsers, now available, allows users to click on red dots on a map to get updates on virus cases.
‘We wanted to create a platform that had all the information one should know about the Coronavirus, from statistics to basic precautions and one can also input information manually.’
Things were not that easy, says Anupam. The work was quite tiresome. ‘When we were developing this application, to begin with, there were no other similar applications.’
SRM student develops Corona App – There were only websites that provided chunks and chunks of information. We spent sleepless nights and put massive brainpower on this. We gave ourselves one week because time was sensitive. In the end, everything was worth it, said Anupam Tiwari.
He quickly reminds the difference between his app and the ones that already exist. All apps seem to focus only on world data but our application provides people with localized user experience. Using the phone’s location, the Geo-map automatically zooms into the user’s location on the map, allowing them to see the reports of cases around them.
