Call Me On A Mission
At MangumLabs, we've been working hard these past few months to bring you our latest app, Call Me On A Mission! This is also our first non-game app, being instead used for displaying interesting data. We noticed that there was currently no app available that displayed data on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint's missions, especially stuff like the mission's boundaries and languages. It was also inspired by a common game played among missionary families in the Church, in which one member tries to simulate or guess another's mission call. These motivations are what led us to create Call Me On A Mission.
The main feature of the app is a big globe which the user can scroll around on, viewing the data. The cool data is the mission boundaries, which are outlined on the map. We've found most people just like to "look around" at all the missions arrayed on the map, as they've never seen the data displayed like this before.
Tapping on a mission on the map will bring up the mission's detail page, with the data we've collected displayed, including flags of places inside the mission, regions that correspond to those flags, and the mission's languages. Alternatively, a user may press the "call me on a mission" button to take them through an animation meant to simulate the excitement of opening a mission call, choosing a random mission that they are "called" on.
We also have the mission data displayed in a list form, for a different viewing experience and easy searchability for the user, if they're looking for a specific mission. There is also the ability to filter the missions by continent as well.
Call Me On A Mission should be hitting the App Store in the next few days! We're excited to be bringing this great app to the store. We know that we'll use it, and hope that others will, too. Stay tuned for more from MangumLabs!
