Project Summary

AppUnite transformed existing APIs into a fitness platform by developing native iOS and Android apps that enable instructors to create and initiate class playlists offline. The team advised on design, recommended switching from a hybrid approach to native functionality, and built and implemented the app code. The product became a high-profile, widely used app for Zumba with strong stakeholder and customer satisfaction; AppUnite continues to support and maintain the platform monthly.
