Hunters pocket-app for improving their call abilities as well as predicting the best time for hunting.
challenge
There are many calls mimicking apps on the market, but real hunting skills come with the ability to mimic the sounds with a minimal number of external devices to make them as quick as possible. The task was to design and develop the whole app implying learning experience with achievements and progress statistics as well as hunting success prediction sections based on weather API and unique algorithms.
Before the start, our team has done a good marketing and technologies research. We've checked tens of competitors, talked to hunters, and chose good and working technology that could teach and check the results.
As part of the study, despite the great useful functionality, we also found that good weather conditions, predicted for at least a week, are really important for hunters. Therefore, we have added this part of the functionality for the client's consideration.
At the start, we have done marketing and technology research. We've checked competitors, talked with experienced hunters and chose a technology that could teach, and check the results.
So we learned that accurate weather forecasting for at least a week is very important for hunters. Therefore, we suggested the client added this function to the app.
Technologies
As for comparing technologies, we wanted to develop a Machine Learning and “feed” it with the number of calls. So, in the end, it would give accurate results. The development process has started with the Fourier series, and while testing, we’ve found that it is pretty enough to get good results, not even adding the machine learning. Comparing technology is built, and some money is saved.
The learning has to be connected to a game, marks, and results. To make it right, we’ve added a Hunter Bill persona (teacher) who leads you through the learning process, added the grades system and progress charts to check results. The lessons are supplemented with educational videos and descriptions, and the calls are decided into parts, so it is easier to learn it step by step.

We didn’t want to add usual weather conditions, plus we’re working with a mature hunter, so we decided to add a calculator that predicts the hunting conditions based on pressure, temperature, moon, sunset and sunrise and other, in total more then 10 conditions were taken into account.
Within the first month, the application was downloaded more than 10k times from AppStore. The feedbacks are good.
