ddPal app for iPhone and iPad

ddPal is an application designed to make designated and sober driving much simpler with a custom rideQueue built for sober and designated drivers.

ddPal allows you to import contacts into the rideQueue or if they are not in your contacts, allows you to create custom entries to add.

Once a ride is added to the rideQueue, the application user is then given the option to call the person in need of the ride, send a message to the person letting them know their ride is awaiting them, move the ride up a space in the queue, or to delete the ride if it has been completed or is no longer needed.

The Cop Tracker is a message board that allows people in the area to notify other users of ddPal where the nearest law enforcement officer is in case of an emergency that involves the police. Users enter messages in the Cop Tracker chatroom to let other drivers know important information for the night that they are driving. The Cop Tracker chatroom is cleared daily for organization and ease.

The "Whos Driving" feature allows JMU students to view other students that are offering rides around the campus and its surrounding areas as well as offer their own driving services up to students in need of rides. This feature also contains the numbers to JMUs SafeRides program and the numbers to all the cabs and taxis in the area.

ddPal is designed with students in mind and should only be used by a passenger or when the car is not in motion. Mobile phones should never be used while operating a motor vehicle.
