ZipShare: Simplifying Carpooling Across Schools In The US

Carpooling is probably one of the most frustrating ordeals one can partake in. The long emails, constant changing of schedules, and last minute changes can make this process extremely challenging. For these reasons I created ZipShare. ZipShare is an app that strives to make carpooling easier within schools across the United States. The app does this through various useful features such as the ability to create groups, message, and schedule carpools.
I thought of the idea during my own high school carpooling experience. Within my carpool group I faced a continious back and forth every week just to decide who would drive when. This annoying process led me to think that there must be an easier way, and thats when I decided to use my coding skills to fix my problem.
The first iteration of ZipShare was not pretty. It had a terrible design, minimal function and it was very buggy. However, realeasing it on the app store gave me insight into what was needed to make this a solid app.
Now that I have finished a product I am happy with I look forward to sharing it with my school. In the future I also plan to add more features such as the ability to start a carpool ride where other users can track the drivers location.
Overall, ZipShare has taught me a lot of things from rapid prototyping, to product design, to user experience, and debugging. However now I look forward to see what my app can teach me about marketing and thats why I urge you to download and test my app today!
