The screenshots are of the original version of the app called ‘Friends’, which I developed to share with my friends. It has an additional feature of sharing location among friends. Both these apps uses my free hosting web platform API which returns JSON to the app, which then is stored in device’s sqllite database. Quotes in the app are hard coded, and hence are available offline. Other news heads are fetched from the API (which uses Google News for content) need network connectivity to load new news. When new news are available, old news are flushed out, and pressing reload loads new news items. Since the interface is simple and only a small JSON file is transferred, network usage is very low.
