HealthTrack needed to launch their MVP fitness tracking app before a major industry conference in 8 weeks. They needed iOS and Android apps with offline functionality, real-time sync, and integration with popular fitness APIs. Previous attempts with other developers had stalled due to technical challenges.
I chose React Native with Expo for rapid cross-platform development, allowing us to build once and deploy to both platforms. The architecture prioritized offline-first functionality with background sync, ensuring users could track workouts even without internet connection.
The app launched successfully at the conference with both iOS and Android versions available. The client acquired 500+ users in the first week, and the app has maintained a 4.7-star rating on both app stores.
Building offline-first mobile apps requires careful architecture planning upfront. The sync queue pattern proved essential for handling conflicts and ensuring data consistency. React Native's cross-platform capabilities delivered exactly what the client needed within their tight timeline and budget.
