BringMe is an android app that is currently on development that aims for the market of package tracking and delivery logic.
This project is a project that will be presented as a class project at UA(University of Aveiro), in the scope of the Introduction to mobile computation class and also Project in Design II. This app is result of collaboration of two courses (Tecnologies and Information Systems, and Design) both courses of UA.

This project is currently in its early stage and still hasn't any backend already.
Actually presented is a simulation of the system with some static data on it.
