The project aims to develop a mobile application to increase device donation within a community and evaluate itsef ectiveness in increasing donation and user satisfaction [1]. The background of the problem is presented alongwith the hypothesis that the mobile application will increase donation by making it more convenient and increasingawareness of the need for donation [2]. The proposed solution involves conducting two studies: one to measure thenumber of devices donated by participants who have access to the mobile application and one to measure thesatisfaction level of users who donate via the mobile application compared to traditional methods. The keytechnologies and components of the program are outlined, including a user-friendly interface and features suchasdevice compatibility and donation tracking. Challenges encountered during development are discussed, includingissues with testing and user feedback. The application is tested in various scenarios to ensure functionality andusability. The results show an increase in the number of devices donated and higher satisfaction levels among userswho donate via the mobile application [3]. The project's importance is highlighted by the potential to makeapositive impact on the community and improve access to technology for those in need.
