Another successful mobile app made on Freelancer.com!
Nobody knows the Manchester club scene better than Thomas Young. And now, thanks to Freelancer.com, he's got an app to prove it. Downloadable on iTunes, "NJoy Manchester" is a quick guide to the city's nightclubs and bars; the ultimate source for deals, discounts, and events; and a taxi directory in case you need a ride.
Unable to afford traditional contractors (many of whom charge in excess of $10,000 USD) to develop the app, Tom decided to look for a partner as the project was more complex than he initially thought. Young took the advice of a friend and turned to Freelancer.com. In no time, he was able to find a professional to build the app for him for less than a tenth of what an agency would have charged. "My friend and I had an idea for an app just for a nightclub that used push notification technology (or customized pop-up messages on smartphones) to deliver news on live performances and promos." Freelancer.com helped him turn his idea into reality, and his app has recieved hundreds of downloads since its recent release.
Now, at only 18, this young software development major, entrepreneur and CEO of Ounco Ltd, is working with NiteFinder, the leading online nightlife directory in the UK, to build a new app. Bigger in scope (it will include lots of major cities), the new app will have information on parking, hotels, events, and "everything really going on in the city." And it will be designed and built using Freelancer.com.
If you have a similar idea, we want to help you get started. Post a mobile app project today and we'll give you a free featured upgrade (worth $19 USD, valid until 2nd, Mar EST).
