Cherie - Case Study of Social Networking Mobile App Development

about

summary:

Cherie is a mobile social networking app that helps users from all over the world to meet people of influence from various industries. We built iOS and Android apps with a great UI and UX design to attract new users and engage them in using the platform.

project idea:

The client came up to us with the idea of creating a remote mentoring platform to enable people of influence from various industries to spread knowledge and promote industry growth. Cherie should also be an on-demand social platform: hostess, dinner dates, private parties, and so on. Users should be able to search Cherries by various filters, view their photos and videos, and request bookings.

Cherries and Clients should be able to schedule bookings, communicate with text, audio, or video calls. The application should have an In-App currency, so users can request bookings, and have paid video-calls with Cherries.

Powerful mentoring platform for influencers from various spheres

Cherie is designed to enable influencers (cheries) from different areas including music, culture, art, fashion, lifestyle, fitness, health, movies, and business to inspire and empower people (advocates).

Cherie is a mentoring network that helps build connections with like-minded people and learn from the influencers through the exchange of industry-related ideas, guidance, and valuable information.

The platform is a great meeting point when anyone can network with industry leaders: ask questions, get advice, and share knowledge. Influencers or cheries spread their expertise and promote growth for advocates. Cherie creates a friendly environment for people to get help from experienced and well-rounded professionals.
