We identified the geolocation feature as the biggest challenge when creating Collabr because it had to be implemented with a third party for the chat. This brought a unique complexity to the project at hand.

Other challenges we faced when creating this application for musicians include,

• Design -The design we implemented had to be a reflection of the community’s creativity. Also, creatives could be encouraged to share their work, be themselves and grow without limits.
• Security – Hackers are often known for targeting apps with malicious underhanded tactics, trying to disrupt the user experience. To ensure this doesn’t happen, we resolved to use advanced measures.
• Loading Time – We were aware that the app’s incorporation of multiple users on a map via geo-location could lead to long loading times, so we took steps to ensure quick data transactions.

• We held a one-on-one meeting with the client to precisely determine the scope of the project based on the expectations of the client and end-users. 
• Subsequently, we created a prototype and wireframe for the Collabr app to give the client a better understanding of the potential result before starting the development. Then, we provided the client with animated onboarding screens to give them an idea of what was to come. 
• To give our app a laid-back vibe, we modified the UI design, then crafted a signup validation process and introduced a guest user option. Also, we implemented pagination to guarantee rapid transmission even with vast data sets. 
• To safeguard against hackers, we deployed captcha verification and other high-level technologies to ensure an amazing user experience and app speed.
• Lastly, we enhanced the audio and video player’s user-friendliness by adding a few aesthetic and functional tweaks, and then we incorporated Admob to monetize the app for our client.
