Anger Test - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

Alongside my nursing career, I have always had an interest in computer science since high school. Over time, I have developed several applications related to my work. About 5 years ago, I made the decision to venture into mobile app development to reach an even broader audience.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

After trying various programming languages, I chose Flutter because I discovered its significant advantage: with just one codebase, I could program for Android, iOS, and the web, thus expanding the reach of my apps to multiple platforms.

The interviewee, Mr. Byron Rodrigues, has been a nurse for 22 years and a member of the International Temperance Association, dedicating himself to promoting a healthy lifestyle that he believes is essential for achieving his full physical and mental potential. Apart from being a seasoned nurse, Mr. Rodrigues has had a passion for mobile app development. He has actively published apps since 2018 and his apps have been downloaded over 50 thousand times.

Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

Two of my apps "Anger Test" and "Chat Help Me".

How long have you been working on this app?

The app was ready by February 2022 and is regularly updated for features and bugs.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

Anger Test is designed to assist in recognizing and managing anger, as well as other emotional disorders such as depression, anxiety, stress, and emotional dependency. This app helps users identify if they have symptoms of uncontrolled anger, understand the origins of these symptoms, and provides suggestions for improvement. If the user desires personalized assistance, I included a link within the app that directs them to another app I created, named "Chat Help Me." In this second app, users can receive personalized help, and support can be obtained by watching ads or opting for a paid consultation.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

I believe the app is valuable because people appreciate the opportunity to take tests, answer questions about themselves, and get results. This self-assessment encourages reflection on behavior and can motivate positive changes in their lives. I hope that the app serves as a catalyst for adopting a healthy lifestyle.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

Initially, the app only offered the anger test, but I recently updated it to encompass tests for various emotional disorders, as mentioned earlier, all within a single application.

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?

I invite you to try the app and, if it proves helpful to you, please share it with others. Many people need support to make the decision to embrace a healthy lifestyle, and that is the main objective behind all my work with applications.
