Project Summary

Relinns consulted on the app name and backend and design infrastructure, produced wireframes, then developed both iOS and Android versions of a travel planning app. The iOS app was completed first and the Android app followed; the app launched in October 2017. Despite some scope changes and minor communication issues typical of a first offshore engagement, the team delivered a stable, crash-free product.
