Project Summary

A tree-guide app that had become incompatible with newer phones and OS versions was redeveloped by Algoworks into native iOS and Android apps using Swift and Java/Kotlin with a MySQL backend. Algoworks delivered well-designed, polished apps that launched to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store and received almost all five-star user reviews. The team collaborated using Basecamp; the work met functional goals but took longer than expected (contracted 14 weeks vs. about one year).

Key Challenges

  • Aging app that no longer worked properly on newer phones and operating systems
  • Need to rewrite the app from scratch to support newer iOS and Android versions and both old and new phones

Project Deliverables

  • Native iOS and Android mobile apps
  • Splash, home, search, side menu, category and tree detail screens
  • "My favorites" and "Notes" features
  • Offline functionality and database editability
  • Publication to Apple App Store and Google Play Store

Project Solution

Algoworks was selected based on its strong reviews and initial professionalism; they performed a paid code review to better scope the work. They designed and developed native iOS and Android apps from an existing database, implementing screens and features including splash, home, search, side menu, category lists, tree detail pages, favorites, notes, offline support, and mechanisms to make database changes. Technologies used included Swift (iOS), Java/Kotlin (Android) and MySQL; designs were produced using Photoshop/Sketch/Figma. The team included a project manager and 1–2 developers per platform, and Algoworks handled publishing to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Project Outcome

  • Apps that work smoothly and are well-designed in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store
  • User reviews became almost all five-star after launch
  • Polished, final products delivered and obstacles resolved by the vendor
  • Project timeline extended (contract 14 weeks vs. actual closer to 1 year)
