Project Summary

BrainMobi built from scratch an iOS mobile mapping app for Dharma Maps, converting traditional paper hiking maps into a modern mobile product with features such as map layering and in-app purchases. Customers have given positive reviews, and the client praised BrainMobi's responsiveness, quality, and ability to resolve issues. The engagement began in 2015 and has continued as ongoing work.

Key Challenges

Needed to transition from a legacy app and paper maps to a modern mobile mapping solution.
Required vendor technical expertise to maintain the existing app and then build a new app due to limitations of the old product.

Project Deliverables

Mobile iOS app
Map layering features
In-app purchases
Ongoing maintenance and support

Project Solution

BrainMobi rebuilt the client's mobile mapping app from the ground up, delivering an up-to-date iOS application that layers maps on other map sources and supports in-app purchases. The vendor provided a small, responsive team (one primary point of contact and 2–3 developers at a time), handled ongoing maintenance and issue resolution, and managed the project with regular communication via text, phone, and video chat. The client invested about $125,000 and the engagement has been active since 2015.

Project Outcome

Customers gave positive reviews and liked the app.
BrainMobi responded quickly to problems and resolved issues.
Communication and project management were reliable and professional.
