Project Summary

Ackee developed, configured, and launched the Android version of a map-based weather app for InMeteo, working from initial concept meetings through development and deployment. The Android app has reached approximately one million downloads with growing active users. Communication and project management used dedicated Slack channels and Redmine, and the vendor solicited regular feedback to iterate on the product.

Key Challenges

  • Make forecasts more approachable for a wider audience
  • Provide a map-based weather visualization
  • Outsource Android development because the client lacked in-house Android resources

Project Deliverables

  • Android mobile application
  • App launch and deployment
  • Project management, testing, and design support

Project Solution

Ackee held initial discovery meetings to define goals and UX, then developed, configured, and launched the Android version of the weather app. The vendor maintained open communication channels with the client throughout development and scaled the delivery team as needed to include additional Android developers, an iOS developer, a tester, and a designer.

Project Outcome

  • Approximately one million downloads and growing active users
  • Effective collaboration using Slack and Redmine with rapid vendor responses and regular feedback cycles
