Project Summary

UKAD supplied development resources and built the iOS app and supporting web platform components using ReactJS, NodeJS, and Angular. The engagement began in July 2016 and support is ongoing. The designer and iOS developer exceeded expectations for responsiveness and urgent issue handling, while some frontend developers were less skilled than expected, causing slower delivery. Overall, the client found UKAD's services affordable and helpful.

Key Challenges

Initially source an experienced iOS developer to build the app.
Replace a departing full-stack integrator and provide ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, and minor feature development.

Project Deliverables

iOS mobile app for creating and listing events
Backend integration with geolocation and database
Frontend and backend maintenance and minor feature development
Design assets and support

Project Solution

UKAD developed the iOS application that allows users to create event listings (title, description, capacity, photos) and capture geolocation data to be stored in the backend database. One developer initially integrated much of the stack; subsequently UKAD provided a frontend developer and a backend developer for ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, and minor feature work. The team used ReactJS, Node.js, and Angular across the web and mobile stack, and communication was maintained via Skype, Asana, Slack, and email.

Project Outcome

The app was developed as requested and UKAD provided responsive support, including emergency weekend work.
The designer and iOS developer exceeded expectations and were highly responsive.
Some frontend developers lacked the expected skill level, which slowed certain deliverables.
