Free Time

The Free Time app was not developed by our team from the beginning. We inherited the application along with its admin panel, both of which had numerous technical issues and unresolved defects. Taking ownership of an already-built product comes with its own unique set of challenges, and this project was no exception. From the moment the codebase was handed over, it was clear that significant effort would be required to bring the platform up to a stable and functional standard - a challenge well within the scope of our mobile app development services.

When the project was handed over to us, there were more than 120 bugs across the mobile application and admin panels. Several core functionalities were unstable, and the call functionality was completely non-operational. Since the application had been developed by a different team, our developers initially faced challenges in understanding the existing architecture and identifying the root causes of the issues. This made troubleshooting and implementation of fixes more complex and time-consuming. Every layer of the application required careful examination, and the lack of proper documentation made the process even more demanding. Our team had to invest considerable time in reverse-engineering the existing logic before any meaningful progress could be made a process that draws on the same expertise we apply in our app security audit engagements.

Despite these challenges, our Flutter app development team worked persistently to analyze, debug, and stabilize the platform. With continuous effort from the developers and strategic guidance from the management team, we successfully resolved the critical issues, restored the call functionality, fixed the majority of the reported bugs, and implemented several enhancements to improve overall performance, reliability, and user experience. The backend was stabilized using the same Node.js development expertise we bring to all our server-side projects. The team approached each issue methodically, ensuring that fixes were thoroughly tested before deployment to prevent further instability. Collaboration between developers and project managers played a key role in keeping the process focused and efficient a hallmark of how our software development team operates.

As a result of these improvements, the application is now live and actively available on the Google Play Store. The iOS version has also been submitted and is currently under review on the Apple App Store. This marks a significant milestone in transforming the platform into a stable, functional, and production-ready application. The journey from a bug-ridden, inherited codebase to a fully operational product reflects the dedication and technical expertise of the entire team involved and stands as a strong example of what our Android app development and iOS app development capabilities can achieve.
