"Don't Worry!" is an iPhone app designed to help the user to stop worrying. But it doesn't stop there, the app also encourages the user to help their friends to also remain calm and care-free. It does this using both encouraging text and images that apply to the interests of the user (presumably the interests of their friends as well). The type, which is all set in a "branded" layout, is mostly inspiring and carefree quotes and expressions. The images are personally chosen for each user based on their given interests. The app will be very customizable and cater to the needs and worries of the user and their contacts.

The title, and the app icon. The megaphone speaks to the idea of sharing, communication, and being bold. The color scheme represents boldness, excitement, and encouragement.

The "Browse" section of the app, where the user looks at various expressions and quotes that will help them with their worries. These can all be shared with phone contacts, and on social networks.

This is the "Register" section, where the user inputs their interests so that the app can give them things that are applicable to them.

This is the share section. Here, the user sends the images and writings they see in the app to their contacts to encourage and help them.

The "History" section is where the user can look at past images and use send them out when the worry becomes applicable to their friend. The "Subject Browse" section is where they search topically.

Once someone has the app, their primary concern is being helped and helping the people they love. Therefore, the primary challenge of the app is to meet the specific needs of the user. To do this, it has to specifically apply to the their needs, and be easy to navigate and share.

It accepts these challenges with two sections of the app. In the "Subject Browse" section the user can find specific quotes and images that are sorted topically. Then, in the "Register" section, the user inputs many of their interests. Then, the app uses Google Image search to find images that specifically apply to them.
