360° Leisure App to Plan & Manage Gatherings

Isn’t it amazing to have a leisure planner app that does all? From exploring events to manage, share, and invite people to socialise. DoThat is an app that literally does it all. The client from Switzerland had this great idea and chose Team IndiaNIC to execute it on iOS platform.

Project Brief

Normally people use multiple apps in leisure time for specific purposes. To plan/manage schedules, connect/manage contacts, explore activities , plan gatherings, sync calendars for notifications & share the moments via chat module in real time. What if everything could be done via a single app? This was the core idea of the client to come up with something universal, yet something unique in the form of a leisure social networking app.

The experienced UI/UX design team & iOS developers were in close collaboration with the client to understand the business objectives & client’s requirements.

Faced Challenges

Accommodate multiple modules with unique functionalities to create a precise workflow and deliver the best UX.

To keep the app functionality simple while incorporating multiple features & modules was always going to be tricky. A lot of things had to be taken care of to make them work together to serve the user needs. Like auto pop up of weather information based on the location while selecting & creating an event, to verify a person’s availability while sending an invite for an event via calendar sync in background to make app faster, real-time chat room notifications upon every invitation acceptance.

Project Approach

To encapsulate a range of features required intense brainstorming sessions internally & with the client and his team. The team crafted a design prototype to understand the complete app functionality. The client gave a green light and the project went ahead.

Basically the app’s functionality was categorised into two layers calle iDO Events & uDO Events. iDO Events category would encapsulate create, update, plan, share , manage private/public events, contacts, individual or group chat rooms, assign events to multiple groups. Where uDO Events can update users about open invitations to the public events or special invitations to any private event while allowing users to see other attendees.
