Our very own app for tracking and planning pub crawls
Overview
For those that know Shoreditch, you will be aware we love the pub! So in our spare time, we decided to make a new app that lets you track, review and plan your pub nights out. We love to test our own skills by building and launching our own products. Pub Collector was an excellent opportunity to experiment with new technologies, like our pub crawl planning algorithm and a chance for us to refine our internal processes and knowledge.
Great app to remind yourself of all the drunk adventures and story’s you’ve made on a night out. Good to plan pub crawls and visit different bars. Sometimes need to add other pubs you’ve been to as it’s not been recorded.
Our design thinking
As our accountant keeps telling us, we spend too much time in the pub. So we know a thing or two about where the best ones in Shoreditch are. The goal of this app, though, was to make sure no matter where you were in the world (we have dozens of countries covered), you could find the best pub closest to you. We are very keen to add social elements too, so within Pub Collector, you can see where your friends have been frequenting, send them a cheers and plan pub crawls together.
Finished product
The app has thousands of active users and a 4.6 rating on the app store. We have an Android app in the works but have been too busy to release it. The most successful metric is that some of our users have been to over 1,000 pubs! Our team is doing its best to catch up...
