Challenges
Nearby User Management
AcreView app has excellent functionality that once users started to chat with their neighbors, they will automatically become friends. But to manage nearby users in the Neighbours list located in 25-50 meters around your location is a little bit tough. The numbers of nearby users will appear in the Neighbours listing section, and once they go out of the range, they will automatically disappear from the list. After a team discussion, we developed a successful app that serves the best service to users.
Page Listing of Friends
In the friend's section of the application, our client wanted to display 3 listings, as we mention below. In the first list, friends who are located in nearby locations will display. In second, it shows the list of Neighbours or friends who chat with the user in the past. And a list of blocked neighbors/friends will display in the last section. Our developers did some hard work to manage these listings and applied appropriate solutions to develop a fantastic user-friendly app.
Multiple image uploading
As per our client's requirement, a user can send multiple images simultaneously to the person in the chat section. Our developers encountered the issue of image duplication for separate devices like iOS or Android. So, our developers applied some logic to avoid image duplication and deliver the perfect app that satisfies our client's needs.
