What are the pros and cons of this technology or platform? 

Pros:

• Platform agnostic (the previous zoo app was only available for android)
• Having the wifi towers and charging stations will allow users to freely use their phones without having to worry about them losing battery
• By being a native app, we can utilize features of the phone for the app’s features
  • Geolocation
  • NFC usage to send codes of the simplified app to other phones
• By being built in house, we can build our app based on the customer needs
• The 24/7 live view cameras give people a peak of the zoo from the comfort of their home. It can possibly convert them into physical visitors to the zoo in the future

Cons:

• Costs will be expensive since we need to customize the coding for both iOS and Android 
• The combination of native and in built will take a considerable amount of time to create app
