Xamarin Features RESAAS Mobile App

One of the things I am passionate about at RESAAS is our mobile app for iPhone and Android. We are often exploring how our customers use the app differently from the browser experience and then optimizing the experience for that exact use case.

Xamarin, the company behind the cross-platform development framework that uses C#, recently featured the RESAAS App on their website: http://xamarin.com/apps/app/resaas_the_real_estate_social_network.

I've written previously about our App being showcased on the Appcelerator Titanium blog (when we used their framework instead of Xamarin) as well as our initial app release back in April 2013.

RESAAS reblasts App Featured on Appcelerator Titanium Blog

In a previous post I showcased the iOS and Android App that my team and I at RESAAS released in March, 2013 after only 2 months. The App was built using Appcelerator's Titanium cross-platform framework after we migrated from an older PhoneGap implementation. We chose to go with Titanium due to its (almost) write once run everywhere framework.

Once we released the App, the folks over at Appcelerator took notice of it and loved the look & feel of the App, specifically the photo heavy activity feed that showcases real estate professional's listings. They subsequently asked me to respond to a number of questions they had about our App for an upcoming blog post on their developer blog. 

Here is that blog post they created: http://developer.appcelerator.com/blog/2013/06/featured-app-reblasts.html

The official RESAAS blog also has a couple posts about other features related to reblasts App:

RESAAS Mobile App Released for iPhone and Android

My engineering team and I at RESAAS recently released both an Android and iPhone app a number of weeks ago. We built it using Appcelerator's Titanium framework. It's one of the many write (almost) once and run anywhere frameworks. After producing a prototype over the Christmas break we saw that the framework met our needs in terms of feed scrolling performance and so we embarked on an new mobile app. Our team is thrilled with the end product and its now available via the usual mobile store channels:

• Apple App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/reblasts/id609267244
• Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.resaas.reblasts
