Brooklyn Bridge App

This Android App was developed for Kriss Roebling, the great-great-great grandson of Washington and Emily Roebling, the husband-and-wife team who built the Brooklyn Bridge. This tour App is for people who want to explore the bridge and learn more about it.

The content and user experience inputs were provided by the client. The app covers an extensive points-of-interest map, an archive image gallery packed with historical information, a detailed audio/video tour and a social sharing option for sharing the experience of Brooklyn Bridge.

The tour is narrated by Kristian Roebling, which can be listened to as the user crosses the bridge and takes in the sights of New York Harbor.

Objectives

To build and deploy the Brooklyn Android App by referencing to the Brooklyn Bridge iOS App. Thorough Testing of the App was required on multiple Android devices and screen configurations/density to ensure smooth customer experience.

Challenges

To ensure development and thorough performance testing of the App on several devices (with some devices being very recently launched and the client requesting that the app be tested on them too) before the launch. As this was scheduled to be part of the 130th year celebration of completion of the bridge construction with a huge number of downloads expected with significant media coverage.

Results
