Today's Trending.

I survey to know about today's trend.

The first question was asked to know whether people used smartphones or not. A majority of 98.2% respondents said that they use smartphones.

 It was important to know about the operating system used by people. It has been observed that 78.2% use Android Phones. While 16.4% selected the IOS option and the rest said they use windows operating system.
Almost 91% respondents said that they use mobile applications often. This meant that majority people do try out new applications from play store and use these applications often.
The next question in survey was related to the need of people for an application to provide the facility of buying, selling, exchanging and borrowing used books. The response was positive where 88% people showed interest in having such kind of application.
In any application there are certain requirements of users that are to be considered in order to fulfill the needs and demands of users. So in order to know about the opinion of people it was been asked whether the book selling and buying application should have a location based feature or not. The results are similar to our expectations and 88% people showed interest in having such a feature so that they can find the nearby sellers and buyers and can sell or buy books.
Another important thing that has been checked was the willingness of people to use application for buying and selling used books instead of going to shops. The results were positive; 87.3% showed great interest to use such an application for buying and selling books instead of going to shops. This question was asked to know whether people will still go to shops to sell or buy used books.
