Mobile App Redesign
When taking over a product from another supplier, you always run the risk of spending a lot of limited time on modifications to the existing code. Nevertheless, we accepted this challenge and managed to optimize and further expand the entire system in record time.

Solution Detail
Although we did not start from scratch with the development of the Xplór mobile application, we stuck to the standard that we established in Rascasone.
I want my own applicationThis was followed by an analysis of the current version of the application, which was undertaken by two of our software experts. They then wrote down the development requirements and the necessary fixes or improvements. The development plan has already begun to take shape in these requirements.
We prioritized the activities related to the individual elements of the mobile application and added estimates of the time and financial demands of the related actions. We then presented these documents to the client, who approved them and we could start preparing the design.
The application consists of two products - a mobile application and a web application, so we created two teams that cooperated with each other to keep the design and functionality of the application consistent across all platforms.
After the UX design and UI design of both types of applications came the most fundamental time of application development, namely programming.
The output is a web application whose backend is handled by the Ruby on Rails javascript framework and a mobile application written using the React Native library.
We have created a clearer and more detailed environment detailing individual tips for trips or tourist destinations. We have also improved the user section, which allows tourists and hikers to save and share visited or planned destinations. Based on the places visited, everyone receives tips on other interesting places that they should not miss.
The core of the application has also received a significant improvement - the map showing destinations, which is now not only clearer and more accurate, but also allows exporting data to other navigation applications.
How we helped
The Rascasone team took over the development of the deployed mobile application, improved its user interface and added key features that strengthen its position in the market.
I want my own applicationWe like to work in close cooperation with the client. This is the only way we can properly fulfill his expectations and bring to the world a digital product that will be successful.
In this case, the collaboration went very well and also thanks to we managed to redesign the project and present it to users in record time.
