METHODS
The researchers used single group design and descriptive method as well, to explain the subject clearly and briefly. The researchers used single group design because they wanted to observe and measure the capacity of the different features of the Emergency App as well as the effects on the beta tester. On the other hand, descriptive method describes and interprets what the study all about. Formal procedures are applied and obtaining the citation data based on the samples are better.
