Travel Dating App Success Story
A social network for travellers that eradicates boring waiting time at airports
A social networking app for travelers with features like a match, chat and connect to transform boring travel wait time into a joyride and enjoy the travel experience
Business Overview – Hello Layover
Our client Scotch & Cobbler approached us through Clutch and after negotiations hired us to create, design and develop a travel dating application.
The app should connect users (travellers) with each other to potentially transform their undesired or boring airport waiting period into a meaningful acquittance.
Hello Layover matches the right people based on their input information and also provides user with the ability to connect with people around the world.
The Challenge
SoluLab was tasked with creating a cool travel application that also serves as a dating application to match, chat and connect. The basic focus our client wanted to achieve was eradicating the boring layovers that arise due to waiting sessions in airports.
We had to create Hello Layover as per our clients requirements that allow users to connect with strangers and make them friends.
While developing this social network for travelers, we have had few challenges, as ensuring a perfect match between/among users; add some really cute and unique emoticons; and, eye-catching UI so that user feels excited to use the app.
Our Approach
It was neither very tough but nor was it hassle-free. Our mobile app developers had to ensure to keep annoying messages out of app. The main function of the app is the user can chat with connected or profile matched both the side, user can share smiley & images, and also view the recent chat with other connected user.
