Business Challenge
The team was tasked with developing a mobile app that would allow parents to add their children, and organize and participate in children's sports activities by specifying a specific location after registration. However, the client had previously tried to develop the app themselves but ran into a problem: there were more ideas than the speed of development.
Namely, the team had to implement:
- 1. Availability of the app for iOSand Androidplatforms
- 2. A web app for the administrator
- 3. The ability for parents to see each other's Play Pods based on a given location, and thus ensure that they can cooperate and get together with their children to play together
- 4. Introduction of safe play places with coordinates accessible only to verified users
- PlatformiOS, Android, Web (for the administrator)
- TechnologyFlutter, AWS, Angular, Material UI, NestJS, OpenStreetMap.

Solution
The team decided to discard the existing application code because it was not in line with best practices and was difficult to scale, which could lead to problems when expanding the project. The decision was made to build the application from scratch in order to better meet user needs and create a better product.
We offered design and development services for the backend, mobile app, and admin panel during our collaboration, and implemented the following features at different stages.

The design was based on wireframes provided by the client. Authorization was set up using four different methods: Google, Apple ID, SMS, or email.
Soulfulness and originality were provided by the images of children's games, hand-drawn by the client's children, which were added to the tutorial.

How we helped users
Here aresome of the advantages of the app we were able to create:
- The app
encourages physical activity , which meansstaying fit andimproving health Strengthen the bond between parents and children by allowing them to spend time together, play, and discuss gamesA variety of ways to be physically active helps children and parents find new waysto spend time together A user-friendly and accessible app thatensures the security and privacy of app users toincrease reliability
Value delivered
The end result is a fun, kid-friendly mobile app. Our team implemented the ability to invite friends via the link and get together at the appointed time and place, as well as the ability to remind them about upcoming events.
Introducing secure game locations with coordinates that are only available to confirmed users is a smart way to ensure the security and privacy of the app's users. By taking steps to vet users before granting them access to sensitive information, it has been possible to create a safe and secure community within the app.
Introducing secure game locations with coordinates that are only available to confirmed users is a smart way to ensure the security and privacy of the app's users. By taking steps to vet users before granting them access to sensitive information, it has been possible to create a safe and secure community within the app.
The working process is as follows:
- 1. Users (parents) create accounts and child profiles.
- 2. Parents carry out a sports assessment of their child so that our system classifies them according to their level.
- 3. Users can either find a game group (game pod) or create their own and invite others to play. Their level of play influences which groups they find. So, for example, a parent of a 3-year-old is not encouraged to play in a group with 8-year-olds.
- 4. The weekly recommended sports programs that the group plays every week will be preset.
