We used mongoDB as it is a flexible noSQL database widely used for mobile apps. We thought it would be a good choice to use due to the structure of the data making it more flexible than postgreSQL. We used React Native as it was similar to React which we are all familiar with as well as enabling us to develop for mobile platforms natively. We initially agreed to develop a mobile app so React Native was a good option as it facilitates compatibility with both Android and iOS. Express was familiar to all of us as was Nodejs , this allowed us to build the backend of the app as quickly as possible.

Initially setting up mongoDB in our development , testing and production environments was challenging that set us back in terms of time meaning that we had to compromise on features. React Native was also a challenge , despite its similarities to React , the differences in navigation and styling posed an issue. However , we were able to overcome these problems by trial and error in conjunction with the documentation.
