Guised Up vs Changemaker Academy

1.Problems Solved by the App- -Every person in his/her life is going through a phase. -Our society is at that point where people pretend to be happy and suited –up and perfect in front of everyone whereas in reality all of us are flawed and we feel like it is a crime to talk about our lackings. Who will understand us? Of Course someone who has faced the same thing!! -When like people will interact with each other, the people (everyone involved) will find it a lot more easier to cope up with it, as the advices/ motivation received by him by means of message/pictures/quotes/videos or in any form, will not come from an expert but from someone just like him/her. -2.Features of The App -In this app, we start by asking you "How are you feeling?" followed by a series of question, which help you to understand yourself and categorise you to a phase. -Here, every phase of life will be represented by a “mask”( a circle divided by two slanted lines this getting divided into 3 compartments, with three unique distinct colors)[The color combination have been decided after taking a survey which is based on emotion invoked when a person sees the color] -We have 8 major emotions in our app to choose from in order to categorise them, and every emotion has a different background color [determined after proper survey which is based on emotion invoked when a person sees the color] -In this app not only a person can post pictures and "Moments"{short videos like reel}, but can also post event with date, time and location so that people from same phase of life can meet and talk and find their ultimate support. -In profile page, there is going to be a part named “My voyage” which can act as a journal for people and they can see all the phases of life they have gone through.Clicking on it you can see the date and duration you have been at that phase. Further clicking on the phase will take you to the "Phase page" which gives a detail of what posts and events you have posted when you were in that phase. So it basically gives a lot encouragement to people to see what a person has overcome. You can visit your Peer's profile and have a look at their journey too !! -We have a “Phase page” which describes the phase a person is in and shows how many of his known people "called as peer" are in this phase of life. -In Home page, posts and events and videos form only "same phase" will appear. No post from any other phase will be shown. -In the message section, you can chat personally as well as in group where all people from same phase of life are there [Inspired/Inspiration ] -Every day, when a person logs in to the app for the first time, we ask them “How are you feeling?” If they click “Different” they are taken to the Questionnaire page from where they can take the test and find the phase they are in. -The user can anytime take test and change his phase if he wants to. -Our tri-color phase icon , which is unique for every phase, becomes a person’s representative because we want people to connect for who they really are and not for what they possess or how they look!! You can very well visit someone’s profile when you connect with someone’s post!! Guised Up is here to fill this emotional void in today’s society.In this app, people will share their journey with each other and help each other grow.
