Project Summary

Tapptitude used Swift and Agile Scrum methodology to develop an iOS GPS-based mapping app that integrates with Google Maps and supports storing and sharing locations. The engagement delivered product management and technical development, following weekly sprints toward an MVP. The client praised the team's project management, attention to detail and proactive delivery; the app was not yet live at the time of the review.
