Indigenous coders and developers have been up to the task with lots of fancy and interactive mobile apps. In almost all the states i meet one or two persons (developers) who have solved one problem or the other using technology. Today i will be reviewing an app made to help people to learn the three major languages in Nigeria. Icenaija is an app developed by Waifanet Technologies, an innovative company based in Kano. We will take a look at some of the features of this app, then we will talk about the pros and cons and some of the things we would like to see in subsequent versions.

REVIEWING ICENAIJA APP
PROS:
➤ Icenaija has a simple user interface which makes it easy for even a five year old kid to use. The audio feature is also cool, and the community feature is also a nice idea. Many users will find it useful especially Corpers who are going to new states to serve.
CONS:
➤It is only available for android users. Icenaija doesn't integrate video calling and also GPS Map feature which is a thing of today with so many apps like this taking full advantage. Although the user interface is simple and easy to use, it stills needs some user experience and latest User Interface designs to compete.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
➤It is a nice app that is capable of being a buddy and a great companion. For Corpers who are new to a state, especially those who have difficulty in understanding a new language, it is a highly recommended app. We expect them to add more languages and more features like words that many people will like to learn in another language.
