The application can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. Some updates will have taken place since I have finished my project there, but judging from the changelog and the screenshots, the majority is still in the state I left it in. The back-end is a licensed application, so I'm afraid you won't be able to try it for yourself. (Unless you have a license?)
