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.

Develop a high-performing Android application and release it to Google Play within 2 months
Solution

An Android application on par with its iOS counterpart in terms of functionality, usability, performance, and security released on a tight deadline
●
Diverse functional modules allowing users to set activity goals, track progress, join teams, and share achievements

●
A groups feature that lets users search for and join communities with similar interests and goals, collaborate and compete together with community members
●
An achievements feature that allows users to keep track of their progress and view leaderboards
●
Integration with Google Fit through well-designed APIs for fast transmission of activity data
●
Powerful analytics converting location and activity data into performance stats
●
Seamless integration with a cloud back end for swift application performance, on-point security and lower maintenance costs
