In 2010, Queensland was hit with a 3-day flood that caused $30 billion worth of damages to the state and directly damaged the lives of more than 200,000 people. In times of disaster, people are more than willing to lend a helping hand. Nearly 120,000 volunteers helped throughout the month of January 2011 through Volunteering Queensland. However, the organization felt that the limited channels to recruit volunteers were insufficient to meet the needs created by such a disaster. Through collaboration with University of Queensland and Acclario, they produced the ReadyQLD application for the iPhone and Android to help the people of Queensland prepare for the worst.

One of the most crucial factors in ensuring the success of an app is finding a niche audience and fulfilling their specific need in an effective and elegant manner. Matt McKee was living in such a niche for ten years as a pastor, before he decided to help the faithful get digital. As a pastor, McKee knows that one of the key aims of a church is evangelism; combine this with his background as a communications major and it’s understandable that he found himself asking: "How can I leverage technology to spread a message?" Eventually, he discovered the answer and formed ROAR; a mobile app company with the goal of helping non-profits spread their message. ROAR became a system integration partner with Appcelerator and began producing a series of custom and cross-platform mobile apps.
