The problem The Space App solves

Helps in maintaining social distancing in these trying times of the coronavirus pandemic.

Challenges we ran into

The app is not designed to be automatically resize to every phone's screen ratio.
To test the app, we prefer a 6inch or above screen phone.
To measure the distance between two users, we used the Location.disctanceTool(otherLocation) which is not very accurate for small distances.
Due to the time constraint, the testing of the app had not been done rigorously and the corner cases have not been taken into consideration.
The minimum android version required is Android 7.
The fluctuation in head-count variable is expected.
The local device is expected to have a good internet connection, as the devices fetches information from cloud in real-time.
If in any case the app may crash, to restart it, force quit the app and start it again.
