To make the application, they invited Informatics Engineering students, Farih Nazihullah, while the concept of their applications and comics were assisted by students of Communication Studies Program, Faisal Hidayat.

Thanks to this collaboration, the planned application was successfully materialized. Wulan said the application has three main menus, materials, games and comics. Three main menus are packed into one application to make users feel comfortable learning majas.
