Problem

How can members of the fishing community connect with each other and share images?
How could the app be profitable or appealing to an investor?

Proposal

Our application will take a user’s picture and store that picture in a gallery. It will then allow the user to view their pictures and sort them by keyword using a search function that will display the correct image. The app could be appealing to investors because of the wide market for social media apps, especially photo sharing
Easy of use
High conversion rate on advertisements due to a community with a shared interest

Proposel Completion Status

All aspects of our proposal have been completed except for the search bar functionality.
Our app does take a picture with your devices camera and stores it in the app's gallery but,
you cannot currently search for individual pictures using our search bar.
Our search functionality currently takes a list of names and searches through those names displaying the disired item in a toast message once clicked on.
