The application consists of a single module, which allows the users to share an event, join a group of users to meet new people and assist together to the event, and to share their experience about an event. A study of the culture in Spain, and more specifically in Madrid, will be included in the document, stating the reasons behind the choice of developing the application mentioned. There will be a section that explains the studies done about the mobile devices, the mobile operating systems, comparing the most relevant ones currently and reasoning the chosen system for the development. The developing process of the application will also be described in the document, alongside the testing results and the conclusions acquired.
