The problem
People arriving in a city as tourists or visitors needed a guide and support at hand, on their phones. The plan was a native Android mobile app, created to guide and assist people visiting the city.
What was agreed
- Prioritized scope
- A native Android mobile app with two roles: guiding tourists and visitors around the city and assisting them during their visit.
What was delivered
Tourists and visitors have a city guide and support during their visit on their phones.
How it works
Visitors use the app on an Android phone. Because it is native, it was built with Android’s own tools, not with web technologies adapted for the phone.
The technology, in plain words
- Android: Google’s operating system for phones and tablets. The app was built natively for it, that is, with Android’s own tools.
