Samsung 2012
Olympic Sports Mobile App
In 2012 we got approached by Samsung to take the lead on the development of their Olympics sports mobile app. Above all, this was very exciting and provided us with a great opportunity to work with mobile giants.
The Brief
The brief was to deliver a socially-driven sports mobile app, whilst partnering with celebrities. For example, David Beckham, Jamie Oliver and Victoria Pendleton. Secondly, the app aimed to encourage everyday runners to get out and run to earn £1 for a worthy cause for every mile they logged via the app.
The Problem
The Samsung Olympics sports mobile app had to be engaging and very technical whilst meeting a tight deadline. This made it one of the biggest challenges we have faced at Novaflip. In addition, we needed to add a mechanism that would generate an animated video at the end of each run. This video would feature the user’s headshot superimposed on a virtual body and running with a celebrity superstar such as David Beckham.
Key Points
Managing a team of three developers, Daren was able to deliver the app ahead of the scheduled deadline. Moreover, after it was launched by none other than Golden Balls himself, it was awarded the title of Apple App.
