Client Requirement
A client believes food is a way of communication. He wanted to make an online platform where food's magical power improves relations while opening themselves to different cultures and rituals surrounding food. With a unique app idea, he approached Hyperlink InfoSystem to develop an iOS app to buy and sell food-related stuff. By taking the client's vision, developers hard work, and team management, Hyperlink InfoSystem developed a fantastic app called "Cooklit." This is the best app for people who have a backyard or farm where they grow some foodstuff. This app allows users to earn money by cultivating foodstuff or by making food at their homes.

Challenges
Multiple Filter Option
A client wanted to set filtering options to search for food by specific Farmer Market, Food Trucks, What's cooking, Meat Market, Bakery, and Range. Managing every filter at a single time was a little bit tough task for our iOS developers. After integrated some technical logic, they managed every filter successfully.
To Display Nearest Seller on a Map
After the filtering process, the user can see a map that displays nearby sellers with different colored pins per client demands. To fetch nearby sellers by tracking the buyer's entered location is one issue our developers face during app development. Our developers have managed this scenario by developing a custom API that resolves the problem.
