Trail Hiking App
In order to support our existing website and to help grow this into a nationally focus tool we are wanting to develop a mobile trail hiking app that will include the following features.
- Guides to trails including photos, trail notes, and GPX files
- Synchronisation with www.trailhiking.com.au
- View topographic maps
- Add geotagged photos
- Plan routes and trips
- Stats tracking (elevation, distance and speed) Users can record their hikes and tracks for others to view via the app and website and follow via social sharing
- Location based weather updates
- Compass for navigation
- Push notifications
- Deployment via iOS, Android and web app
Developer
We have selected a development partner who we have been utilising over the past 4 years for development of mobile apps for our clients (via our design business). As this is NOT a commercial project we will be developing this app outside of our usual field of employment and as such are seeking funding to cover the following project costs.
Project Costs
Our estimated project costs are as follows:
- Native app development: $20,000 AUD
- Annual maintenance of app and website: $4000 AUD
- Annual hosting of app admin portal and website: $500 AUD
- Kickstarter fees and taxes: $5,000 AUD
- TOTAL PROJECT COST: $29,500 AUD
Project Timeline
- Development commencement date: 01 May 2023
- Native application launch (6 months in development): 01 November 2023
Risks and challenges
My background is in graphic design, website design and mobile technology development. We have an existing team of developers and designers who will ensure that this project is developed to the highest standard both from a coding and user interface perspective.
As the website www.trailhiking.com.au is already in existence and contains the bulk of the information that will reside in the app we don't foresee any risks for this project. The scope of works has been defined, budget estimates prepared, timelines developed and the development team selected.
We are ready to get started.
