Challenge

Our client entered the market with an iOS app that allows users to track their physical activity, create and join sporting communities, share their fitness progress, organize and participate in competitions, and engage in other social activities. To make their mobile product available for a wider audience, the client needed to develop an Android application that would be an equal alternative to its iOS counterpart.

ITRex took on the following challenges:
Support the client’s product vision with an adaptable development strategy, set up seamless communication with the client’s team and provide transparent reporting on the development progress
Review the existing iOS app to formulate the app’s feature set
Suggest an optimal tech stack for front-end and back-end development
Develop a high-performing activity tracking app and release it to Google Play within 2 months
