RESULT

We have created a mobile application and a web profile to generate unique access codes. The following functions are implemented in the mobile application for Android and iOS:

  • Member profiles
    The profile of each community member includes information about education and work. Also, each user can set the networking status, which signals whether this user is currently open for communication time.
  • Instant messaging
    There are three types of general chats in the application: only for graduates, only for students and for students and graduates. Plus you can create an infinite number chats with interesting people and build the most convenient network of acquaintances.
  • List of community members

Customer feedback

The Doubletapp team has done an amazing job for us since the launch of the project. When we started working in mid-July, we only had a prototype application. Doubletapp did an exceptional job under tight deadlines, releasing the first working versions of the app in less than three months. Doubletapp has a truly flexible team of young professionals who can not only follow the advice but also come up with innovative solutions to unexpected problems that inevitably arise in application development.
