GSTIN Checker - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

Yes, I've been working on Android apps since 2014.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

The most challenging thing was finding a reliable API to fetch GSTIN data.

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

Actually I don't use many mobile apps but if I have to choose an app it would probably be 'Andlytics'. The app collects data from my Google Play Developer Console and displays it in a useful manner.

How long have you been working on this app?

To be honest I worked on the app for just 2 days. It was a side project but it did give me an idea for a bigger project, so stay tuned!

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

Many times sellers/vendors provide the wrong GSTIN on their invoice to avoid taxes, so I built this app so people can verify GSTIN and report it to the authorities if necessary.

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.

It's fast, simplistic and doesn't require anything other than scanning the code. Other apps require the user to fill captcha.

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

I'll be adding support for manual search and flash.

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.)?

Use the app, share it with your friends and family and provide feedback.
