| What is your solution? | Brief description of what it does Vectr is an anonymous Q&A app for Android and iOS. The app allows the user to ask a question in any topic and the backend algorithm then routes it to the best expert in that field. Each user is also an expert and answers questions accordingly.Vectr makes people more informed by providing them with quality expert-driven information.
