Challenge
Triptro, launched in the UK, is a personal map app. The founders wanted two sides in one product: a free, useful map for everyday people and paid tools for independent venues, with big chains kept out of recommendations so local places stand out.
Saving a place had to take seconds. Reminders had to help without annoying people: a nearby alert only for places a person chose, with a radius they control and a switch for each type of notification. Location reminders had to run in the background on both iOS and Android, and bulk notifications had to be spread out over time. Halfway through, the product changed its name, which meant new store listings, app identities and links.

Solution
We turned the founders' specification into a first release for both stores, built around pins, maps and nearby reminders. We built the iOS and Android apps and the Firebase back end together, and sent the founders a test build about every week.
People pin places with categories and tags, keep several public or private maps, and share them by link or QR code. Background location uses a radius each person sets. Independent venues get business profiles, ownership verification with documents, promotions shown to people nearby, and statistics on how often their place is saved and visited. A free plan, Premium and three business plans are managed through RevenueCat. A Discover section lets people explore places in their own or another city, with chain detection and ratings after a visit. An admin panel covers moderation, the venue verification queue and usage charts.
We plan each release with the founders in weekly calls.

Results
The app reached the App Store and Google Play in summer 2026, with English and German in the app. It has had a new store release every few weeks since, with weekly test builds before each one. That includes the full rebrand from Trippn to Triptro. We have built and run the product from the first commit in December 2025 to today: both apps, the back end, subscriptions and the admin panel.
