Design
The app is beautifully designed with an ease of navigation. Users will be able to see all listed property images and location in the map, even if the two properties in the same building they will be able to identify them with the help of different pin colours used in the app. A new property can be viewed with a “New” tag attached to it, after two weeks of the listing the new tag gets removed from the property which helps users to identify new properties easily. The design of the app is also very simple and intuitive when a landlord wants to add a new property listing. This makes the in app experience really memorable for users and landlords! |

Challenges
Login and Sharing via WeChat: The log in API for all popular platforms are easily available but this is a new kind of social plugin and the team had no previous experience in creating the login via wechat. Local Storing of Data: The Client wanted to give users the facility to preview the data from they had left even after they kill the app. So adding this functionality for consistency was very important for the client. Displaying Multiple Properties for the same location: We faced a scenario where there were multiple properties for rent in the same building and we will have to make sure users get to see all the listed properties. |

The team got to learn a lot in the process of exploring the login via we chat feature. To implement login via WeChat we have to create Account in admin.wechat.com. This Website is in Chinese language so, was hard to understand then we used the online translator tool to use that site in English and researched about Login functionality. With efforts of the team, we were able to complete that task on time.
When the client gave specification about how he want the user to pick up from where he has left in the app the 60% of the development was done we had to incorporate these changes so we changed the whole workflow and by storing data in preference we were able to achieve this functionality. It also displayed the number of searched addresses in search field so the user can be sure to resume from where he had left the app or kill the app.
There are possibilities of having multiple properties available in the same building so the challenge was how to show them on the map, So we have listing numbers in the property pin. So when a user is looking at the properties he will see from the numbers that they are seeing the new property and not the repeat one. The Map Pin will change its colour once the property has been viewed by the user from bright red to light red so he know that he has already seen the same property and he can move ahead and see the next one.
Despite of the various challenges and some of the rework of the logic the team was about to deliver a high performing app on time. The app is live on both iOS and android play stores.
