Vodworks partnered with Strydr to develop a pedestrian navigation mobile application, providing complete end-to-end development services, including project design, software development, testing, and deployment. The result was an intuitive, user-friendly navigation experience tailored specifically for pedestrians.
Strydr is a mobile navigation app designed specifically for pedestrians. Unlike traditional GPS applications that cater primarily to drivers, Strydr provides an intuitive walking experience by using a compass overlay and simple waypoint guidance. The app works even without a data connection, making it a reliable tool for urban travelers.
Navigating busy city streets can be confusing, especially when exiting the underground stations and trying to determine the right walking direction. Traditional navigation apps like Google Maps and Apple Maps at the time required movement before correctly orienting the user, often leading to disorientation and delays.
Inspired by the Strydr founder’s personal struggles with navigation while traveling in London, Strydr was designed to provide a more intuitive and efficient walking experience.
Strydr partnered with Vodworks to develop a fully functional mobile application from concept to deployment. The collaboration included:
To improve pedestrian navigation, Strydr wanted to introduce a compass-based navigation system overlaid on maps, enabling users to determine the correct walking direction immediately. This eliminates the need to move before getting properly oriented. The app also aimed to offer two key navigation modes:
Vodworks delivered a full suite of development services to bring Strydr from an initial concept to a fully operational app.
Key Features Developed:
In this initial phase, the product’s requirements were formulated and validated against the initial problem that it was supposed to solve. Additionally, small POCs were created to validate the technological design.
Transitioning into the design phase, the app's visual and structural elements were outlined and finalised.
Following agile methodology, the development team ensured a dynamic and iterative approach to building the product.
Post-launch, based on user feedback, a number of small improvements were implemented to increase the app's overall appeal and functionality.
With Vodworks' expertise in mobile app development, Strydr successfully launched and stood out from traditional mapping solutions. The project’s success can be measured by:
