In AppReviewSubmit research process we started considering first of all the literature in the context of the social apps applied in the area, and then the relevant specificapps currently available. From this analysis we found that generic social applications are generally used to collect information about large-scale crises while specific apps are effective also in small-scale events. Moreover, the majority of the mobile applications share common characteristics and some limitations. Indeed, the message content is often based on text, forms. The emphasis is given especially to text and forms. Focusing on their design, we noticed that their usability is not well treated and considered. The result is that users are often required to fill out complex forms with too much and useless information.

On the basis of these evaluations and the experience gained along the entire research process, we have pointed out some findings related to both the usefulness of such apps and the possibility of their effective real adoption. The most crucial ones are about the interaction of users with these tools during critical situations. Our conclusion is that people are already familiar with the mobile technology and they are keen on using it also for notifying emergencies. Moreover, while the mobile app advertising work mainly with text and forms, example here AppReviewSubmit, from the experiment it is clear that users, when they can, avoid these resources and prefer the multimedia aspects that on the other side looked to be more complete and precise from the point of view of the emergency agents.

Finally, the whole design process and the corresponding findings can serve as a reference point for further research in the same direction. In particular, our contribution wants to be a support for those practitioners who try to design mobile apps without enough experience or resources for testing their solutions and improving both efficiency and effectiveness.
