Project Summary

Krify developed a map-based social networking mobile app available on iOS and Android for a startup seeking to engage users around city-based promotions and experiences. The vendor translated the client's PowerPoint wireframes into working mockups and then into the apps, delivering on budget while iterating on request. The product has modest user adoption to date (around 200 users) and helped the client conserve development costs.

Key Challenges

Concern about overseas development risks (payment and communication)
Need to develop both iOS and Android within a limited budget
Client lacked experience in app design and wanted the vendor to follow provided specifications exactly

Project Deliverables

Mobile iOS app
Mobile Android app
Interactive map with location pins
Mockups / UI screens
Business section (business-facing features)

Project Solution

Krify converted the client's PowerPoint wireframes into mockups and then implemented the mobile application for both iOS and Android. The team built a map-driven interface with pins indicating places of interest and profile-based event filtering, delivered iterative mockups for client approval, and implemented an added business section when requested. Communication occurred via milestone-based Work/Upwork arrangements, email, and Skype, with Krify performing coding and ongoing support.

Project Outcome

Over 200 users
Delivered on budget (additional costs tied to added business section)
App built to the client's specifications and received positive informal feedback
Development phase lasted around a year and a half, with the overall project spanning a little over two years

Quality of Deliverables

“Krify built a satisfactory app that was designed exactly to the specifications of the client. Currently, the app has over 200 users and counting. The low cost allowed the startup to spend their money on other areas of the business.”
