App Dev: Entry 4

Project 2:  Milestone 1

For the second project, I wanted to be less useful. While it is nice for all apps to be useful in a strictly productive manner, a lot of apps are needed to fulfill every niche idea that someone has:  poop tracking, virtual fidget spinners, Vedic astrology, you name it there’s an app for that.

However, when I was looking for Magic 8-Ball apps that followed Material.io’s guideline, I was at a loss as most apps on Google’s play store are rather ugly and lack the consistent, paper-esque quality that Android apps should have.

My second app will be a pseudo-random number generator in the form of a magic 8 ball. Users will shake the ball (phone) and have a “random” answer to their question. I will also add on options for extra negativity to go with the drab gray theme as well as an option for expletives, in case of very serious matters. I believe a material compliant dice roller would be a nice addition to the Play Store.
