myTrip - Travel Organizer

Gone are the days when the idea of travelling was to visit just a few done-to-death tourist destinations. Now, people like to explore the destinations they are travelling to from their own perspective. Reviews, first-hand accounts and travel apps are playing a big role in customising one’s travel experience and that’s exactly what myTrip does. The travel app myTrip is your jack of all trades app that provides you all the information about a specific destination, hotels tariffs, flights, places to visit, things to do, what to shop, car rentals and what not!

Challenges

A travel app myTrip involved a lot of features like sharing travel plans, uploading pictures, text, automatic synchronization, backup and privacy policy. The more the features the greater challenge to integrate them and make them run smoothly. The main challenges we faced while creating myTrip app were implementing the share the travel plans with other travellers feature. This function involved automatic synchronization, backup, which required a lot of attention. We had to make sure that it is safe and user-friendly. The biggest task was to add this feature in the middle of the development process. But, we managed to implement all the features and deliver a refined product.

Approach:

myTrip is a travel website that not only has a lot of features but it also involved the implementation of new features in the middle of the development phase. To kick start the project we created a prototype first and once the client gave a go-ahead on it we started the actual design process. We followed the agile methodology for the entire process.
