About the client
Dahabaska - the creative studio from Turkey with ideas about extending the functionality of mobile experience.
Challenge
There are situations when you need to present or explain something (a product at a suddenly appointed meeting, an apartment to buyers, etc.) but you don’t have enough time to prepare a proper presentation. The Client came up with the idea of a simple and intuitive mobile tool for the instant creation of
presentations
photo albums
catalogs and/or product portfolios
comic pictures for social media
Solution
The development process was outsourced to Vakoms. We decided to build a solution based on the extremely successful Text Here project. A new app called Bindle received a fresh design and the following features:
different options for getting images
editing multiple pictures
converting ready images to PDF
downloading and/ or sharing PDF files
The application was developed with the ObjectiveC language for iPhone and iPad. In addition, we provided an optimization to make the app compatible with iOS 6 and iPhone 5. After 3 months of development and testing, the application was launched.
Bindle allows taking photos with iPhone’s camera or choosing them from Camera Roll. Also, we added an option to get images from social media, like Facebook, Instagram, or Flickr. Selected pictures can be edited by adding speech balloons and headers, panned or zoomed to get the exact view you want. Besides there is a possibility to put together up to 24 pictures in one photobook with a square (Album) or vertical (Book) orientation.
The completed work can be either downloaded on the smartphone as a single PDF file or shared with one tap via email, Dropbox, iBooks, Viber, Google Drive, and other available options.
