Farewell to Low Battery: Power Bank Sharing Apps

Picture this: you’re out and about, just enjoying your day when a call comes through. It’s the call you’ve been waiting for all day, from your boss or perhaps from your significant other, and just as you tap to answer, your phone screen goes black. But what if we told you low battery is a thing of the past when you create a power bank sharing app?

Regardless if you’ve thought about this before or if you’re completely new to the subject, this article will provide some much-needed insight into power bank sharing apps.

What Is a Power Bank Sharing App?

You probably already know what a power bank is. It is a small device that stores power and that comes in real handy when your phone is low on battery, and there’s no outlet nearby. And while most people these days own a power bank, carrying one around continues to be a hassle. Maybe it doesn’t fit in your purse. Maybe you’ve got enough things to carry already and are wary of the added weight of a power bank. Or maybe you just haven’t got the time to charge it before you’re out the door.

One major flaw of power banks, ironically, is that they take time to charge, and often, we forget to do that until it’s too late. Enter power bank sharing apps. Such apps allow you to rent a power bank wherever you are. Common renting points include restaurants, cafes, shopping malls, and other such public spaces.

For a fee, you get to stop at said place and take out a power bank from their charging station, and power up your phone for as much as you need.

Reasons for Building a Power Bank Sharing App

Well, the short answer to that is, you want to profit off of a highly active market. By eliminating the above mentioned snags of power banks, a power bank sharing app can be highly successful and popular.

Our mobile devices have become a vital part of our day-to-day activities, to the point where Tesla mogul Elon Musk even referred to them as a cybernetic extension to our very being.

Life without our mobile phones is considered by most Western civilization difficult, if not downright impossible, with people feeling lost and vulnerable whenever their phone is out of battery. When you develop a power bank sharing app, you are essentially banking on this feeling. In other words, you are ensuring that your users feel safe, and that is already a huge market opportunity.

Another reason why you might want to build a power bank sharing app is that it is a fairly low investment. You will need the tools and the team to develop the app, as well as the power banks and charging stations themselves, but other than that, you’re good to go. Getting stores and restaurants to set up a charging station is a no-brainer, since this also drives sales for them, while you wait.

So you see, power bank sharing apps are a huge opportunity, if only you know how to do it well.
