Challenge

The primary challenge in developing BCNByBike was to create an intuitive and user-friendly application that delivered accurate and personalized route information while remaining visually appealing and engaging for users. Our development team utilized the latest technologies, such as Mapbox SDK, React Native, and Ruby on Rails, to create a highly functional and visually appealing application. The custom algorithm ensured that the best routes were suggested based on user preferences, resulting in a personalized and enjoyable cycling experience.

Our team focused on implementing advanced mapping technology and a custom algorithm, allowing users to find the most efficient and enjoyable cycling routes in Barcelona. We also ensured that the app's user interface was clean, modern, and easy to navigate, resulting in a seamless user experience.
