Besides the basic functionality of making phone calls, smart phone features are increasingly introduced by mobile phone manufacturers in order to meet the rising expectations of mobile phone users. To meet such expectations, discussion threads posted on online forums are a good way to gather feedback and reviews on various types of mobile phone brands and models by the users.

As a result, the front end and back end interfaces were implemented in order to promote users with improved usability in the system. In addition, the development of the system was restructured according to the modular programming approach, thus having done so would achieve reusability, extensibility and the maintainability of the system in future.
