The Niagara Falls teacher has been coming up with app ideas for a number of years but discovered that developing and marketing an app can be a costly endeavour.<\/p>\n

“I have these ideas since tablets came out but I found out that some apps are $30,000 to develop,” he said.<\/p>\n

In December, however, the tides turned when he discovered Applits, a U.S.-based company that does all the legwork for budding app creators.<\/p>\n

“The concept was great,” he said. “They want to make to make peoples’ dreams come true.”<\/p>\n

Applits recently held a contest asking for app ideas and Stranges submitted an idea of an app that makes it easy for users to donate to a charity of their choice.<\/p>\n

The app identifies charities based on a user’s preferences whether it’s from a recently-watched YouTube video or a news story.<\/p>\n

“The goal is for it to be intuitive,” Stranges explained.<\/p>\n

Users can donate to a charity and also win points towards additional monetary funds to use towards a future donation.<\/p>\n

His iDonate app impressed the judges who felt the app fit perfectly with the company’s AppForCharity campaign.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
