Case Studies
Case studies will be presented in groups of two. You may choose any app from the App Store. Presentations should be approximately 5 minutes long, with a short amount of time afterwards for questions.
You should have around 4-5 slides that cover the following:
- Describe the basic functionality and purpose of the app.
- Who is the developer? What role does the app play in their overall business model?
- How long has the app been around? How does it rank on the App Store?
Competition
- Who are this app’s primary competitors?
- How does the app set itself apart from the competition?
Functionality
- Show some screenshots or screencasts that highlight the most important features of the app. You can create these yourself or pull them from the App Store or other sources.
- Tell us why you chose this app. What do you like about it? What could be improved?
Technical Implementation
- Describe the technical implementation of the app.
- Which UI components do you think were used? (
UITabBarController, UICollectionViewController, etc.)
- Which frameworks do you think were used? (MapKit, AVFoundation, CoreAnimation, etc.)
- Choose at least one feature (large or small) that you imagine was challenging to implement, and describe how you think it might have been implemented.
