As a result of the brainstorming session, the optimal development plan was worked out. We also came up with many ideas which will be later used during the second phase of the development.
In a couple of days we came up with the roadmap aligned to the strategy and immediately began the development process.
We integrated the design process into the development process simultaneously to speed up the process.
The development plan was complex, and one of the main challenges was the deadline for releasing the app in the Apple Store.
To initiate the Apple reviewing process on the earliest stage.
Meanwhile, we conducted internal testing to ensure the product would be great for users.
We divided the development process into sprints, each with fewer planned hours to challenge the team to complete more tasks in a shorter time.
Within 3 month the MVP version was successfuly released to the AppStore.
The app allows you to share the preferred social gathering for the night from the catalog on WYA with friends and discover like-minded individuals. The UI/UX design has been meticulously crafted to make planning evening activities, moving from bar to bar, and seeing friends effortlessly. Simplification iterations were intentionally made to remove unnecessary features and improve the overall experience.
WYA is dedicated to making every evening memorable, which is why the app offers a range of exciting rewards for users who commit to attending events. Whether it's a discount, a free cocktail, or a shot, WYA is developed to make sure the users enjoy the night.
WYA's invite feature lets users easily plan and enhance their social gatherings by sending the invites to friends and new connections in a couple of clicks. With this feature, users can ensure they never have a boring night, but always have exciting plans in mind. Since the app sends invitations and push notifications for smooth user experience we decided to provide passwordless authentication via SMS.
We added a feature that allows users to create their own events and choose the perfect location for their gathering. Whether it's a trendy bar, a club, or even their own home, WYA offers the flexibility to host events anywhere.
This feature allows hosts to easily create parties, specify the party's date, time, and location, and provide any additional details. Furthermore, participants can quickly confirm their attendance, and hosts receive notifications whenever a guest responds to the invite.
With WYA, hosting a private event is easy as you can rest assured that your privacy will be protected. You can choose to keep your location private and easily invite your closest friends with just a couple of clicks.
WYA provides users with a comprehensive list of bars, restaurants, and clubs to explore and enjoy. We wanted to make it easier for our users to find the perfect spot to hang out, catch up with friends, and make new connections.
Every place in our catalog comes with a comprehensive card that provides important details about the venue, such as its name, location, operating hours, and a brief description of its atmosphere.
WYA users have access to offers from various establishments that they can enjoy simply by signing up for events through the app. This makes it convenient to have a great night out while also receiving bonuses such as discounts or an extra drink at a bar.
To enhance the user experience and ensure that only the top-rated places are listed, we curate information from multiple reliable sources to create a comprehensive catalog of the best places. Users can confidently rely on our platform to make informed decisions about where to go and what to do, as all the places undergo a meticulous evaluation process.
By inviting friends to join the app, users can stay connected and make sure they don't miss out on opportunities to meet up and have fun together.
With this feature, you can effortlessly keep track of your friends' upcoming events and join them for a memorable night out or invite them to your own plans.
WYA is designed to ensure you always have someone to hang out with on a night out. Even if your usual crew is busy, there are plenty of other WYAs who share your interests and are looking for a good time. We've brainstormed and put a lot of effort into making WYA a seamless and enjoyable experience from the very launch so you can focus on having fun without any added stress.
