Project Summary

GLOBALDEV designed and developed a mobile heat-map app that visualizes nightlife venue attendance, building both iOS and Android versions and implementing adaptive, city-specific filtering to improve usability. The vendor reworked messy third-party designs, delivered backend services and handled QA to produce an MVP. The client praised the app’s design, functionality and cost-effective user acquisition via Facebook Ads, while noting a need for more proactive vendor communication in some cases.

The engagement was staffed with a designer, iOS and Android developers, a backend developer, testers, and a project manager.

Quality of Deliverables

“The app boasts a great design and a low cost per acquisition through the use of Facebook Ads. GLOBALDEV (formerly Steelkiwi) was flexible with change requests and delayed payments, delivering quality outputs at a reasonable price. However, they could improve by reaching out proactively when something isn’t clear.”
