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

Evernote, it allows me to keep everything I am investigating and then remember easily. Tik-App, allows me to configure and monitor my Mikrotik routers from my phone. Spotify, allows me to listen and share my favorite music lists.

How long have you been working on this app?

For 6 months.

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

Sell or share the Internet in hotels, cyber cafes and coffee shops, through tickets or vouchers with username and password to access the internet from smartphones or laptop.

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.

My application allows any user to implement a hotspot with Mikrotik without technical knowledge since the application performs all the configuration. The application allows to create plans with time of use or data consumption (MB), speed of navigation and number of clients for tickets that access the internet. The application automatically eliminates tickets or vouchers after the consumption of the internet. The application allows you to configure the name of the wireless network.

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

Shop html templates with customizable parameters for the hotspot. Sending the ticket or voucher by SMS. Sending the ticket or voucher by NFC.

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.)?

Try the application in your business to give added value to your customers, for example: In a cafeteria give internet access tickets for hours to your customers or in a hotel give an internet ticket for days during which a particular client would stay. I am sure that MikroTicket will increase the experience of using your service, be it in a hotel, cafeteria or a cyber cafe.
