New Fishing App

Project Description:

A new app for iPhone providing a GPS connected map of the fishery you are fishing at and other logged in users who are also fishing at the same time and place. When you catch a fish you will share a photo with some details, and the system can send a notification to the users at the fishery. You will see on the map what other fishermen are catching and chat with them.

Users have a basic profile with some statistics about their fishing sessions. Your profile shows a star rating based on how many fish you are catching. You will flag other users as friends and share private data with them.

A leaderboard screen indicates the fishermen in order of catch rate with the winning user at the top. Tapping on a user from the leader board shows the fish they caught in this fishing trip.

Very basic sign up and edit profile functionality needed (more will be added in a future release).

The app requires being resilient to unreliable internet connections -- communicating with a server in the background to keep the UI responsive -- and perform adequately over 3G: images and other data sent must be optimized for slow connectivity.

Skills required:

iPad, Java, iPhone, Mobile Phone, Objective C
