Expy

Expy allows you to keep track of the expiration dates of the products you're using to ensure the effective use of the products. The main features of this Android application are recording the expiration date of foods or other products, getting periodic alert notifications, and accessing quick monitoring from a widget. Other features include one-step login using Google, storing and synchronizing your records across devices, support for two languages (Indonesian and English), and a random profile picture.

Expy was developed with the team as a capstone project for the Mobile Application Programming 2 course. The development process went through 4 stages, namely planning, design, implementation, and testing.
