This Independence Day hoist flag digitally!

HYDERABAD, INDIA: A Hyderabad-based developer has developed an app which will enable users to hoist the Tiranga digitally.

Other than school students, few government employees and politicians, rest of the population is not part of the real flag hoisting ceremony and most of the times one watches the proceedings at the Red Fort on TV.  Therefore, this app, FamilyApp developed by Trendyworks will be a milestone because it will enable not only Indians in India, but also those abroad to hoist the tricolour.

Once you download and open the app, you will see the folded National Flag on a pole. The app works on voice commands and it rises when the user saying Jai Hind. The flag will hoist completely when the Jai Hind command is repeated thrice.

The Flag unfurls to a resounding tune of the National Anthem which ends with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's triumphant call of Jai Hind.

The lyrics of the National Anthem are provided in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Malayalam, Kannada, and Oriya for users to sing along. The best part is you can take a selfie with the National flag and share it with your friends.

Yet another advantage is since the Flag is being digitally hoisted, one won't find remnants or torn pieces in the garbage dump the next day!

The app is available on Android smart phones.
