Property Guru is Singapore’s juggernaut of real estate listing. Back when mobile apps started shifting information market share from websites, it was timely critical for Property Guru to quickly roll out apps of their own.

The clock kept ticking and getting credible in-house developer is not an easy task. That’s when App Igniter came in to develop the first version of Property Guru mobile app while they’s assembling their team.

It was fascinating working with such a big company. As their main focus is property search, it was important that users can customize search down to the nitty gritty details like location, price psf, bedrooms and tenure.

Company image is everything, so making a mobile app is not simply just cloning website and having sluggish user experience. Using native Android UI and intuitive flow is mandatory. Finally the app must be modular so that it can be easily cloned to other countries.

                    

As of project handover, the app has been downloaded tens of thousands times and rolled out in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. This was a huge project in collaboration with multiple departments and stakeholders.
