MY ASICS

In 2010, I had the pleasure to join the development team on My Asics, an application dedicated for runners by the Asics company.

Initially, the task was to develop an iPhone application where the users can upload their run history which aided with the running community on their web application.

After the release of the first version of the application, the program continued to evolve to a full support system for users training for long-term goals such as tournaments as the number of users also increased organically on a global scale. In the final version the program evolved to support 13 different languages, over 1 million users world-wide, with a rating of 4.5 on the app-store which made it the highest-rated running-related app. We were responsible for the development up until the spring of 2016.

Android:

From 2015, we were also handling the development for the android version of the My Asics app. AQ Cooperation reconstructed the UX and UI from scratch, whereas we reconstructed the architecture from scratch. The UX of the app improved immensely, complaints about crashes disappeared and location tracking accuracy also improved.

Wearable Devices:

From 2015, we developed the My Asics app for wearable devices in the order of, Apple Watch, Android Wear and Sony SmartBand. The features, design philosophy and structure all differed from each device which meant that we had to construct the application from the ground up for each wearable device with AQ to make sure the features and UX aligned. Stabilising the data synchronisation between new iPhone and Android devices posed a challenge, however this provided us with great experience and an opportunity that will become useful in the future.
