Native Mobile App Development Case Study: "Gatvės gyvos" Audio Guide Platform
Project Overview
"Gatvės gyvos" is a tourism and audio guide platform enabling users to independently explore destinations across Lithuania through narrated stories about cities, landmarks, historical sites and natural locations.
Logicnord developed the complete technology solution including native iOS and Android mobile applications, backend infrastructure and an administration platform for managing routes and audio guide content.
The platform allows administrators to create and manage audio guide routes, while users can explore routes on interactive maps, listen to narrated stories and travel using different transportation modes including walking, cycling and driving.
The application was featured by Lithuanian media outlet 15min and became one of the digital tourism initiatives promoting independent travel experiences in Lithuania.
