Project Overview
The evolution of smartphones and technology has changed all forms of entertainment, including betting. Moreover, these applications hold advantages over traditional betting as they provide access to various sports and games and engage their users in a fun yet competitive spirit. This application lets players from around the world test their skills and score points based on the accuracy of their prediction.
Client Background
The application was developed for our UK client who works in the sports and entertainment industry. The vision behind this requirement was to create an app that users can play with their friends and share their passion for sports with them.
Business Needs
Though there are many betting applications available on the internet, the goal was to create a platform that shows the meticulous judgment and prediction of the user. The application lets the user predict their favorite games’ outcomes and also provides a leaderboard that displays rankings of all competitors.
The Challenge
Our Android developers had a restricted timeframe, but within a short time, they were capable of providing the latest architectural support for this application. To maintain a steady design flow and to make the application truly stand out, we were asked to provide bottom navigation support for every screen and have different colors for different tabs. Also, building multiple environments into the application came as a special request from our client.
Other than that, other challenges like multiple built-in environments, frequent runtime UI changes, multiple device support, and app testing were handled efficiently by our software development team.
Our Solution
Components like Navigation architecture, Firebase Remote Config, and MVVM was used to provide the latest support in a short time. Since Android is an open-source system, care was taken to create and encrypt code that cannot be altered or misused by any malware applications. Keeping different colors for different tabs and the bottom navigation tab constant throughout the application made it interactive and user-friendly.
The contest tab in the application allows the user to select their favorite sports and predict their outcomes. Users can predict, challenge friends, analyze their position on the leaderboard and take it higher by participating in various contests and winning games. Based on the type of sport, a player can form groups, create or enter into standard leagues, track performance, and compare rankings with their friends on the application.
Key Outcomes
- Playing for maximum points increases interest in the game.
- A feature called branded leagues allows businesses to promote themselves to their followers and increases their audience.
- This application is an easy way to enjoy fantasy sports with friends.
- The app design and its features make it stand out from its competitors.
