Developing a Mobile App for Predicting Match Results

Client Requirement:

The client came to us with a requirement to develop a mobile app targeted to football lovers. The app is supposed to be compatible with iOS and Android platforms.

Our Endeavor:

• The predictions should be added before the scheduled start time of the match.
• The leagues that are finished based on the criteria entered when created, are displayed for a week until they are auto removed from this list. However, they still count towards the overall rankings.
• The matches are fetched through the third party API based on the criteria entered when the league was created.
• The My Leagues section will allow registered users to create a new league based on the selected competition fetched from the server. Users can choose to create a prediction league based on a number of criteria. For example if English Premier League is the tournament to be predicted, then all matches from the EPL will be included. The users can also select a time frame.
• If results of the tournaments match exactly with the predictions entered, the user will be rewarded with 3 points.
• Registered users have the ability to invite the friends using Facebook, Twitter or search in the database to perform predication on their created league.
• Application will show the base competition in the created league to enhance the predication rate.
• The free version of the application shows ads, however the paid version is ad free.
• Whenever a new league has been created, registered users get push notifications. Peer of a registered user also get notifications about his activities on the app.
• The “Group Chat” feature allows the peers to chat among themselves about the leagues, predictions and other related things.
