Android app

||||||||
Install (or update) an application outside of Google Play is very simple.
- Go to the options of your device.
- Select “Settings” -> “Security” or “Applications” -> then check “Unknown sources”.
- Download the “apk” file, and then open it to begin the installation (or update).
- I encourage you to disable the option once you have finished the installation (just in case).

Project Inception
I decided to build this app for the course “Creative, Serious and Playful Science of Android Apps” available on Coursera. I wanted something useful, something that motivates me enough. So CarmaBlog App was born.
