MOBILE APP FOR WEBSITE (READ BRIEF PLEASE)

We need a mobile APP for a website. 1. Theme The mobile application should follow the website theme in terms of color and logo. You are free to apply your own creativity as long as all is in line with our website theme. Generally the app theme must have the “wow” effect. 2. Short launch time People use their devices now and then, for short durations. They want something that launches in less than 10 seconds. However, if you place a simple yet catchy animation for the loading time, this screen will hold attention long enough. Maybe it could be an unfolding logo or a cool progress bar. It would be nicer to have an app that launches quickly. 3. User Sign In & Sign Up We want users to be able to log in using their credentials once they have registered on the Website. Users should also be able to create new accounts. For security reasons, the app must route visitors to the website sign up panel when creating new accounts. 4. Token Purchases We need an option for purchasing tokens. Once people complete payment their tokens accounts will be credited with the number of tokens purchased. 5. Notifications The following notifications are necessary: NB: Data for the following notifications will be available from an external MySQL database.  Closed competitions  Active Competitions  Number of entries in a particular competition as well as current winning entries.  Latest Competitions  Latest Winners General Notifications (no external database required)  Weather update  GPS Location 6. Social Integration Integrating social media sharing has become a necessity for every mobile application. The crowd over social media will share almost everything they feel passionate about. We want to use Facebook , Twitter and Google+ platforms to allow our users to like, comment or share posts, making it simple for the users to remain engaged with our application. 7. Feedback System Getting feedback from the user has proved to be very helpful for many businesses. We want to give our users a chance to give feedback making them comprehend the humble personality of our brand. We also want to get suggestions and criticism from the users which will help us shape the future of our application. Try to add a rating system as well. This could be in form of stars or whatever you think is necessary. 8. Easy. The app needs to be easy to install, easy to access, and easy to use. Try to make it simpler. 9. Shareable. The most successful mobile apps are the ones that are easily shareable. Your app needs to have a feature that rewards users for sharing it with other users. 10. Allow Customization Users must feel safe and comfortable using our app. Allow them to customize their profiles and update basic information such as names, country, phone number etc the way they like it. NB: You note that Options 3, 4, 5 and 10 require your app to access an external database. We have a MySQL where all the relevant data which you will need resides. It would be nice if you can furnish a small demo web app running MYSQL backend which is accessible from your mobile application. Once your demo script is able to meet our expectations we will integrate it with our site. We will review some of the requirements as we move ahead. You are also free to air in your suggestions and recommendations concerning the mobile apps.
