Our Client

The client came up with the idea of the app during his travel. There was no app that allowed users to create custom maps for their travel itinerary and share it with friends. The client understands the struggle to remember the name and address of a place they wish to share and conceptualize the idea behind the app.

Client Requirement

Create a map app with a user-friendly and easy-to-use interface.
Add features like saving and accessing favorite places.
Build apps for multiple platforms and a web version to reach a wider audience.
Prioritize the security and privacy of user data.
Implementing robust encryption and secure storage.

Proposed Solution

For this innovative idea, we chose native mobile app development for Android and iOS apps. We also developed a website portal to reach a wider audience, so anyone can access their maps with any device. The client wanted strong security, smoother performance, and scalability options for future releases. We developed the app with Swift and Kotlin to ensure optimal results.

Why we chose this solution

We chose this solution based on clients’ requirements for better-performing applications for a wider audience.

Native apps provide better performance, smooth user experience, and access to device-specific features.
A responsive web version ensures accessibility across various devices, including laptops and desktops.
Native app development offers offline availability, which means users can access their saved places and notes without relying on a constant internet connection.
Integrating social media platforms enables seamless sharing and interaction, making the app a vibrant community of explorers.

Benefit of This Solution

By using a native approach, the app is more responsive and provides a smoother experience for users. Also, developing multiple platforms allows for a wider audience to be reached. Data security is also a priority, as robust encryption and secure data storage give users peace of mind about their information. Finally, social sharing features increase engagement and encourage users to explore and interact with the app.

Features

Personalized Map

The app offers customizable maps where users can create their private maps and add places.

Tag Places

It allows users to add tags such as coffee shops, eateries, and others so that they can filter it later.

Sharing a Place with Friends

Users can share their favorite places with friends, and only those with whom they have shared the places can access them, not others.

Advance Filter

These features provide filters to separate places based on tags, date, location, and other parameters.

Access Everything in One Place

Users can tap on a place and access all information, including addresses and pictures, in one place.

Profile Synchronization

Users can sync their profiles on various platforms using the same profile.

Share on social media

With social sharing, users can share their favorite places on different social media platforms.

The Result

The client loved the apps and website portal. Once they launched the app, it quickly reached 100,000 users in the initial few months. It was featured in various magazines and outlets and became one of the most popular apps for travelers.
