Project Motivation

Currently the students of Platinum Yoga do not have a personalized mobile application. The only platform available to book classes is the Platinum Yoga website and MindBody mobile application. It is rather tedious to find classes that they want as there is no categorization and filter. Furthermore, there are some functionalities that are provided by the current application such as membership QR code which are not stable.

Therefore, to enhance both students and trainers’ Platinum Yoga experience, we intend to build a personalized app which enables students to find classes easily by implementing proper categorization and filters (day, class level,instructor) as well as the waiting list. On top of that we will also implement a gamification element, Yogapedia for students to learn more about the different yoga poses, track their progress and plan their training target. Furthermore, they have no proper feedback system in place as Platinum Yoga collect feedback manually using paper and pen. This causes hassle in gathering and analysing feedback. Hence our portal will assist them with an electronic feedback management to tackle the issue.

Project Justification

Instead of building a native iOS or Android application, we are embarking on a project to build a hybrid application using the PhoneGap build service because it empowers us to build our mobile application using HTML5, CSS and javascript and subsequently to release our application onto both the Google Play and Apple iTunes store. This is important for the client to allow as many students to use the application as possible.
