OTHER CHARITIES - JUSTGIVING APP


 

I found this app more interesting than the iHobo app because even though iHobo passes a really important message and make people think, you do get annoyed with the app (which is the point anyway) and perhaps it will make you donate once.
JustGiving app is an extension of the website. First you create a page on JustGiving website - similar to the set yourself a challenge page on Diabetes UK - the app will help you keep updating your page with photos and keep track of your progress on fundraising. Also, it allows you to connect with your sponsors as the app sends you a text message when you receive donations.

It is a handy tool
GAPS -
it only works with pages you create in JustGiving website. I could develop an app that would allow you to connect your facebook friends to your blog, which will show to people that you are on the top of the game, making yourself more reliable for people to donate.

to connect from app to people's mobiles> because they are also on the go. 
Similar to whatsapp which allows you to text anyone in the world (who has the same application which is compatible to iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Nokia phones only). It works through the internet as a kind of messenger and it allows you to send videos, images, voice notes and texts at no extra cost.



what I wish to do is to create an app that will send text messages to everyone linked to your blog and facebook page that only have to reply a number to donate to your challenge (created in the challenge page of Diabetes UK site)
