Tagged products

To help the client to maximize exposure in search results and attract more customers, it was decided to add tagging products feature. It is a free way to get products in front of more buyers. For users, it simplifies the process of searching for necessary products.

Photo Collage

Uploading photos is one of the most popular user operations. Users and experts need to be able to show before and after images to demonstrate the results of their beauty techniques. That’s why we implemented a photo collage feature. The usage of React Native in combination with native processing libraries enabled us to integrate this feature without affecting app performance. We also added layout selection with 6 different choices of layout.

User Profiles and Activity stream

BA is a social beauty marketplace app which allows users to create their personalized accounts and fill them in with content. Users are able to share their photos and videos with others, review others pictures, like, comment, and save liked posts. It’s necessary for users to track all the activity on their own profiles and to know what’s going on with others. To make it possible, we implemented Activity Stream, which informs users about all updates. Moreover, we added a push notification option, to engage more with users and extend beyond the app. It helps to alert the user to updates and inform about the latest activity, such as new likes, comments, questions.

Real-time fast search and specific filters

To make the search process faster we implemented a complex search which allows finding all kinds of content from any section of the app. There is also a special search feature on the Find Pros section where multiple filters are integrated. Users can search by the type of the professionals, by beauty categories, and by location. If a user allows the app to define his location automatically, the filter will display the nearest experts in the radius up to 80 miles. It’s also possible to choose any other location manually and change the radius distance.

In-app Messaging Channel

So that users can easily contact experts, it was decided to implement a direct messaging channel. This is the easiest way for both of them to make a connection, schedule an appointment and stay in touch.

Featured experts

To monetize the app and make it profitable, we implemented the option to display featured experts at the top of search results. Experts, who are willing to be shown above others, can pay for it. We enabled a back-office team to make changes to the searching results on the IOS app.
