Case Study : Berry Hunters 
Back
The Project
The client is an individual who came to us with a unique and very interesting concept. The client wanted an iPhone application helped users locate, add and seek physical locations of fruit, nuts and berries around the world. The application had to be enabled with GPS and offer users access to a real-time online database. This iPhone app also had to allow users to see new locations appear in their local areas ,as soon as, they were added by the growing online community.

The Challenges
- Designing a custom app with a highly creative app design and enhanced usability
- Integrating GPS technology to help users get information about the physical location of the fruit
- Implementing compass functionality that offers exact information of the physical location with direction, of the fruit tree; if its within 5 miles of the iPhone user
- Optimization of fruit images on the live server
- Implementing lazy loading technology throughout the app for image loading optimization
The Solution
The Berry Hunters app allows users to find information, locations, nutritional data and interesting facts about edible fruit, nuts and berries in their local area. With the interactive GPS Hunter, users can see their distance from their choice of location and use the compass and pointer to guide to where they need to go. It’s a highly engaging app with high levels of interactivity and offers one-of-a-kind information to anybody who is looking interested in fruits, nuts and berries.
