Rather than build two separate apps for Android and iOs, as the client had feared at first, Idea Maker created a cross-platform app that could bridge between the two mobile systems. Referring to our years of experience as a mobile app design company, we chose to work with React Native and Firebase for our programming. These apps together build a strong and cohesive cross-platform app that could do everything our client requested.
Within the framework, Idea Maker also included the Google Maps API to create an opportunity for users to add their information or look up other’s information regarding the locations of new cover fields. The app allowed people to learn more about restorative agriculture in their area, build on their own knowledge, and track the process of erosion prevention through shared technology.
No matter the project you have in mind, Idea Maker can help you make it a reality. Most products and programs premade on the market won’t provide everything you need or want to make your idea feasible, but working with a custom mobile app design company, like Idea Maker, can bring it all together.
Idea Maker accomplished the cross-platform custom mobile app development by using React Native and Firebase. We felt React Native and Firebase were the best app development environments for the My Covers custom mobile app. We determined this based on our years of experience developing custom mobile apps.
To allow users to mark and find cover fields with the custom mobile app, Idea Maker used Google Maps API. Using the Google Maps API, our team of developers was able to create the functionality within the app that allowed users to find and mark cover fields near them.
Idea Maker built the custom mobile app quickly and successfully to meet the needs of the My Covers team.
Client Success Stories
Idea Maker has done an amazing job of delivering and responding to our needs.
The team was very responsive and easy to work with. They are professional, talented, and experienced team. They were able to meet all our requirements.
Idea Maker is distinguished for their personalized collaboration and white glove services. The team is dependable and reliable, sticking to the project's plan, offering feedback, and pushing back on the right things.
The way they understand the requirements we present to them is fairly solid. Both in terms of bringing their own interpretation in nailing the requirements and their design sense. By the time we launched, I had gotten significantly more value from our collaboration than what we had discussed in the original specs.
This is a boutique development firm where the Founder is directly involved with the project and the primary contact. This is unlike many development firms where you are simply handed off to developers that are not stakeholders. This is an important distinction that results in much better project accountability.
I have never had a site like this built before. I felt that Idea Maker and Tom had built numerous sites like this, and they were pros.
Idea Maker's portfolio is what drew us in. Their design style was in alignment with what we were after. We had initial consultations with 3 companies that we had narrowed it down to. Once we had our initial meeting with Tom at Idea Maker we knew we had the right choice to make. Their communication style works well for us.
Their customer service is excellent — they’re incredibly accessible and available, which I appreciate. Furthermore, they have enough experience and bandwidth to fulfill all my needs. They’re one of the best vendors I’ve worked with.
