Apps 4 America is a new venture business in Spearfish SD and its purpose is to develop and launch Katelyn and Casie Dale's four winning Congressional App Challenge entires in the real world; Bill List Discrepancy Locator, Lighthouse: A Literary Guide, Siren Shield: Wirelessly Activated Protection, and RAWR: Realized Accumulated Wireless Radiation.

Last year Casie entered the Congressional App Challenge again and won for the fourth and final time, now she and her sister, Katelyn, are taking another look at their winning entries. They are looking forward to doing the finish work to launch these apps in the real world, starting with Bill List Discrepancy Locator, their first win.

Katelyn and Casie made and entered Bill List Discrepancy Locator in the Congressional App Challenge in 2021, what the app does is it looks at the city's bill lists and adds up the totals then compares that to the city-reported total for that bill list, looking for any discrepancies. If it finds a discrepancy it will display it along with info such as how much the discrepancy was, and which bill list it was found in.

The app however was built almost four years ago and is very out of date.

So in order to get this app ready for a real world launch we need funding. Our goal is $5,000 which will be used for wages and software or equipment costs for the project. Katelyn and Casie will work through Apps For America as paid interns in order to finish building the project. This will allow them to continue their education at BHSU. We’ll update the bill lists and continue to develop the software and user interface. When the application is completed and launched we will provide it completely for free.

Here is what the budget looks like:

Paid internship wages          $4,300

Domain name          $25

Website hosting for 1 year        $120

computer and equipment          $350

Form and register A4A LLC      $175

Promotional materials          $30
