LoFo - Lost and Found App

About the project :

"LOFO" is an innovative android application designed to streamline the process of reuniting individuals with their lost belongings, addressing a common problem faced in our college community. Lost and found items are managed through a manual and time-consuming email system, resulting in a cluttered and inefficient process.
Our project aims to simplify this ordeal by creating a user-friendly, intuitive app that centralizes the lost and found experience. Users can easily report lost items, providing essential details and descriptions, while those who have found items can upload information about the discovered belongings.
LOFO promotes a more organized and accessible way of managing lost items, reducing the clutter in email inboxes, and fostering community by reuniting individuals with their cherished belongings. This project intends to enhance the college experience by providing a reliable and user-friendly platform for lost and found items.
