    The Hop social application was created to solve problems that the group found when socializing on the weekends. People were not able to meet up with friends, or spent most of their evening trying to, because they didn’t know which location their friends were at. When that person found their friends, they had to wait in a line outside the bar or restaurant to get in. After this individual got through the line and found their friends, they may have to wait again for a drink. At this point, their friends may be ready to move on to the next location. Hop has been created to solve these problems and to make going out on the weekends a more fun and simpler process. Our team researched these problems and spoke with people in our target market to better understand their problems and what type of solution they would like to see. We also researched competitors that had similar solutions or those that users had heard about to understand how we could differentiate our product. Our group members downloaded other applications and used them so we would have firsthand experience in what worked well and what could be improved on to solve our users’ problems. We collected our insights as well as data received from conversations with target users. Our decision was to create an iOS application using the swift programming language, and the group had to conduct research to successfully utilize this language. As a group, we had no knowledge of this language, so we spent time researching the fundamentals and learning how the language works. We focused on how it interacts with other platforms and languages, and we learned how to use Xcode as our development environment. This research took a significant amount of time as swift is a fairly new language. Apple does have resources that we used and referred to as we worked on creating the application. After completing research and work on understanding the coding language, development platform, and other platforms used in the project, the group moved to look at the features that would be included. The research focused on wait times at bars and restaurants and how that could be minimized. The group also looked into different APIs and resources for implementing the features. We worked in Google Developer to understand their location data API and how that could be implemented into our application. We also completed research on how we could get another user’s location data, a friend the user has added, to display on their map. This was a more difficult task that led to the decision of supplying friend location data through their status. The majority of our research was completed based on each group members’ experiences and through talking with other people at bars and restaurants. We created Hop as a solution to these problems and as a way to make going to bars and restaurants easier. Our solution makes the experience easier and more efficient for users while allowing the bars to benefit through promotion and partnerships.
