CrowdShip is an inter-island package delivery app that connects individuals seeking affordable, reliable delivery with commuters and gig workers already traveling to that destination. By leveraging existing routes, CrowdShip reduces delivery costs and minimizes environmental impact, making it ideal for users needing quick, secure, and budget-friendly out-of-town package delivery. The platform enables senders to post delivery requests and match with trusted, verified commuters, who earn extra income with minimal effort.

We attempted to deploy the application, but currently, its functionality is limited. While users can sign in and access the splash screen, navigation beyond that point is not working in the deployed version.
This issue may stem from one of two causes:
- A recent Expo update, which has been causing issues for many in the development community.
- A potential problem specific to our deployment process.
At this time, we are uncertain about the exact cause and are actively investigating the matter. To view the deployed app, download the ExpoGo app on your phone, then scan the QR code in this link.
In the meantime, we recommend referring to the Product Page or User Guide for more detailed information on the app. Alternatively, you can install and run the app locally to experience its full functionality. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we work toward resolving this issue.
