Quora is a very one of a kind app that not only seeks answers to specific questions posed by the users but is incredibly easy to navigate and use. There are other apps that entail the same idea but that isn’t what they specialize in, an example of this would be Reddit but as we know there is far more to Reddit than simply asking questions to other users. In an article by the Guardian, they speak about Quora and the concept of the app and the possible success considering the lack of apps with the same aim as they do (Kiss, Arthur, 2011). Quora is now known as the most popular QnA (questions and answer) website on the internet, and in general, on Quora, the answers have a 97% accuracy (Patil, Lee, 2016). This shows Quora’s success in its simplicity and the idea behind a simple question and answer website. As looked at in our presentation, the app's layout and app are very easy to navigate having easy to follow instructions and features are what makes the app so successful. Upon signing up you have options to follow whatever topics you want, you have the opportunity to search questions or topics and basically full customization on what you’d like to see and answer throughout the app.
