Energiest - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

Yes, we have developed more than 10 applications over the past two years, but this was a new experience with this application and we learned a lot from it actually as we had to solve problems and overcome them.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

There was many problems in the beginning of the development of course, but the part that troubled us the most was the synchronization between two users at the moment of the transaction.

_{Dina AbouElella, Fady Samir, Kirelos Atef - [Energiest Team]}

We are a fairly new start-up company. We are working towards a better environment and we encourage and support any industries that works towards the same goal. Our main project currently is "Energiest" which is built to encourage the usage of electric cars and offer easier power transmission for current users and hopefully encourage more customers to switch to electric cars. In the future we aspire to have multiple project that support the same cause.

Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

To name one "Google Maps", both from development and user perspective. It's response is very fast in generating the routes from one place to another and it's mind puzzling to even think about the code behind it and how they could achieve that type of result.

How long have you been working on this app?

It took approximately one month of development and then a Beta Version was released for about two months and with further testing and debugging with the help from the feedback we got the final version was released after then which is the version you can find now on the store.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

Due to lack of charging stations, we decided to develop an idea where electric cars can charge each other making them act as transportable charging stations to solve issues like people stuck away from charging stations.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

Currently there are no competing applications on the store, so actually the idea itself is unique. Plus we think the existence of the application might encourage people to use electric cars and actually help the environment and hopefully we think we made charging more available and easier.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

We currently have a few thoughts but we are waiting for feedback to be able to determine what the users want more of us and that is what will drive us mostly.

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?

We are hoping that they will like the app and share it with more people, and of course contact us about any problems they might face or new features they want and we will be more than to help them. [email protected] is our email.
