Project Summary

A nightlife database (HAGTAP) engaged TechMagic to build consumer-facing iOS and Android apps, develop a backend CMS and management system, and assist with UI/UX design. TechMagic delivered two production apps and a CMS, met sprint milestones consistently, and continues to work on further versions. The client praised their coding expertise, responsiveness, and ability to meet deadlines while noting room for improvement in onboarding and pitching.
