Knowing what areas of your life you need to improve on can be a tricky conversation to have with friends or colleagues, so the 'Advice Me' app aims to help make the process more streamlined.
The app works by having users set up a profile where those you know can provide honest advice on what you need to improve on, what you're doing great at and much more. This ensures improve is a constant part of the person's lifestyle rather than something they might visit on a yearly basis or perhaps even less often.
The 'Advice Me' app speaks to the pervasive nature of digital communication as consumers seek out ways to improve themselves on both a personal and professional level.
