WherestheMatch Android App
Building on the original IPhone release from late 2013, the Android version went live in Q2 2015. It has over 1 million downloads, 50000+ users with an average score of 3.5+. They are a tough crowd. This has now been superseded by the .NET Android MAUI version.
- Xamarin.Android
- Android 4.01+
- Top Tier UX
- Consistent X-Platform Look and Feel
Architecture
WherestheMatch.com already had a .NET 4 Administration Site at the stage of the inception of the App, and a lot of work had been done to provide clean seperation of the Presentation, Business Logic and Database Solution (SQL Server 2008).
Monotouch (soon to become Xamarin) seemed a very strong fit to allow the development of cross platform Apps for IPhone, Android and Windows.
The existing .NET Business Tier and ORM code was leveraged to create an SSL Web Service for synchronising data between the App.
One of the key features of the App was its ability to download fixtures and view them offline, so an SQLite database was used to provide this functionality.
Extensive research was performed into existing UI schemes across competitors, industry lead, and strong UX based Apps to provide an elegant and focused user experience.
This Android version leveraged the business logic from the previous IOS version cutting development time drastically for x-platform releases
