This document outlines an app proposal to help people more easily find products at convenient locations. Ethnographic research found adults and students struggle to find certain goods in one place and have to go elsewhere. Interviews revealed a desire for organization and easy checks on household appliance availability. The proposed app would allow searching by location, categories, and date on the main page. Users could set preferences for appliances, dates and locations. Product pages would give options. While some apps focus on categories, none currently provide personalized availability checks according to a user's schedule and most convenient location.

only focus on categories of product. None
provide personalized and specific options
for checking the availability of product
according to the user¡¯s schedule while
also allowing for searching the most
convenient location product to get the
