Case Studies

The client was an individual who wanted an iPhone app that provides a security blanket to the user. The aim was to leverage the best of iOS technology and mix it with Social media to develop an iPhone app that allows the user’s location to be posted onto Facebook and Twitter. The core concept of the app revolves around sending an SMS to 5 predefined contacts notifying them about the user’s locations at any given point of time. Another key aspect of this app involves Facebook and Twitter being pinged with the location of the user, with respect to latitude and longitude at pre-defined intervals. The client wanted to offer users an app that ensures that their friends or security provider know about their location at all times. So help is always at hand.

The key challenge was to create both an iPhone and an iPad version of the app. Apart from ensuring the highest standards of creativity for design of the app and its logo; the challenge was to give a perfect shape to the complex concept. From the development perspective, the challenge was designing 6 objects (3 bulbs and 3 paint-jars) and enabling users to place them anywhere on the screen and initiating the game play from the chosen position. It was also a challenging task to implement the RGB color model for ensuring intuitive color combinations. Ensuring that the puzzle was challenging enough was a challenge in itself.

The client is an individual who came to us with the requirement for an iPhone that needed to be an exact replica of his existing Android app. The name of the app ‘Golf-Cash Caddie’ says it all. It is an app that makes it easy to track and calculate the bets that have been placed on each hole, during a golfing session. Cash Caddie will show you exactly how much each player is up or down in points and money after each hole. This app can track the scores of up to 8 golfers at a time and that too for unlimited holes.

• Understanding the functional logic of existing Android app to ensure that the iPhone app is its exact replica
• Ensuring enhancement of original Android app design and making it iPhone compatible
• Understanding the complicated mathematical calculations that were an integral part of the existing app and incorporating the same in the iPhone app
• Solving existing loopholes in the logic of the Android app and ensuring that there were no problems in the logic of the iPhone app
• Offering mathematical calculation for unlimited holes
• Ensuring that the reliability of the app and also of its calculation for unlimited holes; the app system shouldn’t crash even after calculating for ‘n’ number of holes

The excellence of our app is illustrated by the fact that no sooner was this app accepted by the iTunes store, than users started downloading the app. They have given full marks to the app in their reviews. A successful solution is a combination of sustained efforts, expertise and experience. We brought these three qualities in full force to ensure that the process of app development catered to all client requirements. We ensured that the iPhone app perfectly replicated all the features and functionalities of the client’s existing Android app in detail and a perfect manner. Our developers made it a point to capture each and every detail of the Android app and ensure that it was a part of the iPhone app. The result is an app that is a treat to use for all golfing enthusiasts, who want a highly interactive companion that helps them calculate the bets placed on each hole.

The client wanted an iPhone game app that improves and tests the user's knowledge of countries spread across the globe. The app was to revolve around World Geography and provide users with a dynamic game play that tests their knowledge of countries located around the world. It had to offer users two modes – the learning mode and the challenge mode. While the former is not time bound, the latter times the effort taken to match the country with its location on the map. The app had to be comprehensive and exhaustive, wherein over 170 countries are represented over 6 continents.

We provided our client with an app that offers a highly interactive game play through a visually striking and easy-to-understand user interface. The interactive nature of this concept is tailor made for users to have endless amounts of fun with this iPhone app. At the same time, they can also educate themselves with respect to the countries and their locations on the map. And all this happens through easy to use drag functionality.

The client was an individual who came to us with a unique, but a not so clearly defined, iPhone app idea. He wanted a fun app that enabled users to do what they can only dream about doing – Kill their bills. The iPhone app’s game play had to enable users to kill bills that drop from the top of their iPhone screens. Users can kill the bill by tapping on the bills, before they reach the envelope.

The key challenge was creating an impressively designed app with a custom log that provides seamless game play. We also had to ensure the perfect size of the bills (taking into consideration the iPhone screen size) and also guarantee an accurate tapping point. Another challenge was designing customized objects, assigning them specific roles and making sure that they gel with the rest of the game play.

The client wanted an app that helps users time their levels of concentration. All that users need to do is hold the iPhone in their palms. The app will detect the users’ movement within specified threshold and will stop as soon as they move beyond these settings.

Creating a custom built impressive looking app with visually striking logo was one of the crucial designing challenges. The key development challenge was calibration of threshold values by implementing accelerometer technology. The fact that the app had to detect the minutest movement in order to serve its purpose was also a significant challenge.
