DogsterApp : On-Demand Dog-Riding App

- We Are Fundamentally Improving The Lives Of Dogs!

Overview

DogsterApp is basically a dog riding app for the iOS platform. In this app, registered dog owners will search for dog riding service providers in their area. Dog riding service is available in 3 divisions like Solo, Small group with 5 to 7 Dogs, and large group with 12 to 15 dogs. Once you book any dog rider or you have been a former client, you can communicate with them through the app only. Your walker will keep you informed about your dog ride through a message in an app after every walk that gives you rest of mind. You can provide rates and comments to the walker that helps other users know how well they deliver their service.

Client Requirement

Our client from the USA saw the dog owner's struggle to find the best and reliable person for regular walks during working days. He decided to solve this problem by providing a hassle-free process for dog owners. He had an idea of a mobile app where users can order On-Demand dog walking services directly through their smartphones. He approached Hyperlink Infosystem with this fantastic thought to provide the best way for dog owners to make their life easier. We did some excellent work on his idea and developed cutting-edge technology with an old-fashioned dog riding for dogs. After the internal team discussion, we also analyzed and suggested some interesting and useful things like informing users at the start and end of the service; track dog walks on the map through GPS. Users do not have to worry about cash as it will deduct charges from a Credit card. So, users simply order, track, and enjoy this fantastic app!

Challenges

As per our client wanted the real-time Chat System where dog rider & Dog owners can chat. We need to develop a system where a dog owner and dog rider can share messages, videos, voices actual time. Chat features one of the essential features of the Sniffs Snout system, and we need to have this in both the mobile app & website. To overcome this challenge, our developers integrated third Party chat API in the system. We applied the TokBox API as it runs fast with advanced features, control, and broad device support.

The challenge was to create a clean, natural user experience that is smooth and sharp, thus providing professionalism to get trust from both Dog Owners and Service Providers. We delivered the best user-friendly app that can be used everywhere in the USA.
