Fitness App Development
Business Needs
- The user needs to keep track of their fitness requirements.
- Most users aren’t motivated enough to continue the journey, the app should offer the required boost.
- The end users are looking for dieticians and personal fitness coaches that can personalise the fitness journey to help them achieve specific goals.
- Ability to share the fitness journey and motivate others to join.
The Challenge
The biggest challenge for the developer in fitness app development came in the form of calories. The calorie counts from specific food and dietary combinations differ. Secondly, the developer received data from multiple sensors and wearable tech. It was important for the developer to ensure that the data remained safe and secure. It should adhere to the compliances and principles of the fitness segment. Integration was another major challenge for the developers. They had to ensure that the apps were compatible with the different sensors and devices. It was equally important to ensure that the app was updated to meet the software and hardware updates.

Solution
Solution we Proposed:

The app will save all the data received from the wearable and offer insights into your health and activities. You can view all the data and insights on a single platform. We used Flutter to build the first app and MVP. We moved to a native app development approach using Swift and Java to create safer and more secure applications for both Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android.
Our Process
The fitness app development services were used to translate the app idea into a cross-platform application. . We discovered the client’s motives behind the fitness app, their backstory and how they aim to help the users. This allowed us to create the user experience, define the usability and design the interface. We also estimated the fitness app development cost during the planning phase.
We collaborated with the client to speed up approvals and identify the gaps. We released the app to the app store using clean, well-commented codes and test-driven approach.
