Our approach
Problem Statement
Standard location-sharing tools rely on basic pins and coordinates, which lack personality and social context. Users have no way to creatively express a place or visually share their experiences on a map. Existing solutions also lack the social layer needed for discovery and community-driven exploration within a city.
Solution Architecture
We developed a map-based social application that combines custom drawing tools with location-sharing functionality and a connected user experience. The app integrates MapKit and native location services with a custom drawing system, allowing users to create personalised markers and share them within their community. The architecture ensures smooth map performance, reliable location handling, and seamless social interaction all within a clean and intuitive mobile interface.
