Project Summary

Mobulous developed a recipe-sharing mobile app for a consulting firm, delivering Android and iOS versions with user profiles, social features, and a pantry-based recipe suggestion feature. The vendor was praised for project management and use of Basecamp, but users found the design unintuitive and some features (including the pantry feature) required unexpected costs. The app experienced downtime related to database connection issues, though the engagement was completed in Feb. 2021.

Key Challenges

Develop a mobile app for uploading and sharing recipes.
Use newer/current technologies for Android and iOS.
Implement a pantry-based recipe suggestion feature without unexpected extra costs.
Deliver an intuitive, user-friendly and highly interactive design.

Project Deliverables

Mobile app for Android and iOS
User profiles and social features (like, share, save)

Project Solution

Mobulous developed a cross-platform mobile application for Android and iOS. The team implemented user profiles and social features (liking, sharing, saving recipes), plus a pantry-based recommendation feature that suggested recipes based on users' available ingredients. The vendor engaged in technical discussions about modern tech stacks and managed the project via assigned project managers and Basecamp for communication and tracking.

Project Outcome

The project was completed but users found the app unintuitive and not highly usable.
The app experienced downtime caused by database connection issues.
The pantry feature incurred unexpected additional costs and did not meet expectations.
Project management and communication (using Basecamp) were rated highly by the client.
