  • My app is a location based, time sensitive photography app:
    - camera
    - GPS
    - notifications

  • Great question - would take a whole course to answer it properly!

  • I wonder if phones are able to use location accurately enough for this to work really well. Nice idea.

  • Hi I'm Tim, great to be starting this. I'm very interested in UX but also have an ulterior motive - I want to create my own course (on a different subject) and have been advised this one's a great example to learn from.
