Overview

SightRunnin' Greece is an innovative startup that combines running and sightseeing through an application for all of the country's guests who perceive sports as a way of life. What do you need to do? Just choose your desired running tour, lace-up, put your headphones on, and let the app show you around the city's highlights. While you are running and as you get closer to the first point of interest through GPS, a museum, for instance, you'll automatically start listening to its story and all other relevant info. After, the GPS will guide you to the next point of interest to hear the respective story and information. Whether you are in town for business or leisure, and if you consider running a part of your life and do not want to skip running or just feel like walking, the new mobile application SightRunnin' Greece is the best way to explore the city. You can cover your free time by visiting someplace, getting details of KMs you have run, how much calories you burn, and more. The best part of this app is designed for online and offline purposes, so there is no need to have internet connectivity to use it.

Client Requirements

Our client wanted to make an app where visitors can run at their own pace to the best places and sights of the Greece city, and they can know its culture and history with vocal and on-screen GPS directions whenever they choose. With this platform, visitors have no tension for tourist buses and pre-arranged hours for guided tours. Moreover, he wanted to make this platform online and offline, so visitors have no internet connectivity, even though they can use this app. He approached Hyperlink InfoSystem with this idea to develop SightRunnin's Greece app for Android and iOS platforms. After the internal team discussion, we also analyzed and suggested some interesting and useful things like users can have their actual data about how long they are running, how much their calories burnt, and their exact steps of a package tour. It is the most beautiful spot within your reach, most economically and ecologically.

Challenges

To Handle Data On Offline Mode

A client wanted to develop an app that works in offline mode also. Once users download the tour plan, they can use geo guidelines and information about historical places on offline mode. To give accurate information like a map, geolocation data, or vocal according to a selected package on offline mode was tough for our developers. Our developers have managed this whole feature when an app is online; they check if any saved tours have any modification done by admin. Developers needed to update the full package and sync that amendment with our located server to provide accurate offline mode data.

Popup On The Lock Screen

As per the app scenario, when users running their phone is on lock mode at that time they enter any nearby historic place, we need to give popup regarding that place information if they want to get guidance about that place through the headphone. To fetch a nearby location and give popup to their locked phone was tough when their phone is on lock mode. Our developers conducted overlay service & wake up call for the popup in the lock screen at developing time to get a dialog on their locked screen quickly.
