The idea of combining all these things into one app,
like an “All in 1” go-to place, a one-stop solution for all your queries, the
ultimate app, is something that was the most obvious thing to design to cater
to the convenience need of the users. It was an idea whose time has come, an
idea that was waiting to be given a form and shape. Lo and behold, we have what
is touted is the Bapp of all Apps. This app, which you can easily recognize from
the face of the star roped in for its promotion is Askme.com.
Amusingly, or annoyingly, it opens up to the image
of Ranbir Kapoor himself, which makes us think if it has gone a little too
ahead while banking on the star power.
Well, let’s get to it:
Askme.com enables you to search for classifieds,
deals, products, services, information and whatnot right down to the accuracy
of your locality.
The home screen has
three fields. First one is the field to enter the item you are looking for.
Second detail is your locality. And the third field is your city. The application
detects your city automatically using your phone’s GPS. If it doesn’t then
manually typing your city in the field would do the trick. Under the city
field, there is a search button. After searching, you
can browse through the reviews of the item. The contact details are also made available
to make your reaching out to them easy and blissful. This is a glimpse into the
wider reach of the application.
Ups:
1. The
search filter gives details of the
various business houses near your location.
2. It promises best deal at best prices.
3. Contact details, which are given, like zomato,
make it endearing to the user.
4. Sharing with friends and acquaintances over
social media is another giveaway
5. It occupies a meager space on the phone, much
to the relief of the users whose eternal woes include shortage of space.
6. The reviewing platform, although nothing
breakthrough, is a quintessential example of the convenience peculiar to this app.
7. It is also a buying and selling platform like
OLX
8. Saves substantial surfing time by giving
results relatively quickly.
Downs:
1. The
listing window is fickle, and the database is exhaustive, perhaps, a search
filter can do wonders.
2. Future
updates are expected to make it flawless, immaculate.
They call themselves the Baap of all apps, they
might not be wrong. That it is free is a fact that doesn't suck either. A little
finishing on the database, and it will hit it right. For the minuscule MB space
occupied, having it on your smartphone is a fair deal.
How to download the
app
Android users can download the app for free from Google Play. So
make your searches simpler, and fun, and let this app addict you to it.
