Description:

This is an Android app that increases the amount of data being stored in the refunite database so as to increase the chances of finding a match.

This is done by interacting with the user to encourage them to give as much data as possible. We prompt them to give specific information such as memories of their missing person i.e. birthmarks, relationship, clan, landmarks, events attended together, last seen date, favorites, lifestyle etc.

We interact with the user by calling them according to the name they registered with and each question comes on ‘it’s on’ page to increase their interest.

This narrows down the number of people with similar names during the search. This is our refined search.

Dealing with the issue of weak internet access, the app will be made in such a way that it reads the users frequently searched specifications and can then push data to their phone every week or when internet is accessible and this data according to their frequenct search will be stored in their phone memory.
