Where The Magic Happens
Our experience is that content can be the trickiest and most time consuming part of making an app. It is also the most fun and it is what makes the experience truly valuable to the visitor. If you would like any assistance with content creation along the way, we are here to help. We also offer content packages.
A User-friendly Experience
An initial category page is a way to divide the app into sections such as events, map and guides. In this way the experience becomes more user-friendly and structured.
Spark Engagement With A Quiz
It is possible to add a quiz to the guides in the app. There is one multiple choice question per location and the user can compete against other players.
Save Time
We understand how important it is that technical solutions can both be built upon and are easy to integrate with existing systems. For this reason our modules are made so that they can be connected with existing APIs. One example of this is our event calendar.
We have created a software function for customers, regularly updating and syncing the app calendar with an existing calendar on their website, via their API.
