Mobile application: donate day

Abstract

Mobile application has gradually become a popular application software because it only requires inexpensive electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets to operate. This paper therefore presents an Android mobile app application that allowed users to donate their items to charitable organizations in Malaysia. The study adopted quantitative research to study people's behavior towards charitable donation and gathered opinion on the mobile donation app. The survey was conducted online with samples of 20 respondents. The paper also adopted the Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach to develop this mobile app's system. The RAD approach enabled the development of the mobile app prototype to be completed quickly and enabled end users to test the mobile app to provide recommendations and make changes easily. The results of the system tests indicated that the mobile app achieved the goals of the study, but the respondents also responded to several improvements needed for the prototype.
