Project Summary

Yellow built an iOS social media application from client-provided wireframes and mock-ups and is contracted to develop an Android version.

The client praises the development quality and talent but noted shortcomings in project management, though they have continued the partnership for Android development.

  • Coordinate development with the client's backend developer who controlled implementation

Project Deliverables

  • Mobile iOS application
  • Android application (planned)
