MavTrade provides a user-friendly platform where UTA students can trade and sell their used books and goods. This app could be potentially used application similar to eBay where UTA students can share their opinions and trade stuff at the same time.
- Category: Shopping, Social Networking
- Mobile: This app would be primarily developed for mobile but would perhaps be just as viable on a computer. Functionality wouldn't be limited to mobile devices, however mobile version could potentially have more features.
- Story: Users can post items and other users who get interested can contact the owner of the item through the application chat. They decide how they want to trade.
- Market: Any UTA students or instructors could choose to use this app.
- Habit: This app could be used as often or unoften as the user wanted depending on how deep their social life is, and what exactly they're looking for.
- Scope: First we would start with posting items based on categories and provide a way to communicate each other, then perhaps this could evolve into a larger UTA community app.
