Key takeaways for Bošáca
Where is it heading?

- The absence of user ratings across all platforms limits discoverability and trust for new residents, hindering organic growth.
- Recent updates focused on maintenance rather than feature expansion, leaving the app vulnerable to competitors with higher-utility integrations.
The SWOT
- Mobile radio alerts provide direct municipal authority communication channels.
- Integrating a contact directory for local officials would simplify civic interaction.
- Adding neighborhood exchange features could increase daily stickiness.
