Project Summary

Hestabit developed an iOS ticket-resale app using Xcode with PayPal and map integrations, a wish list, and push notifications, and they supported the App Store launch. The vendor delivered work in milestones, provided recommendations and additional updates, and worked through edits beyond the original scope. The app launched in May 2017 and generated strong early traction from users, though the team initially struggled with deadlines before improving communication and project management.
