carribean cultural festival mobile app

For the first time in its forty-six-year history, The Caribbean Festival of Arts (CARIFESTA) was accompanied by a mobile app, created with the help of Mobile Roadie. The famous regional festival took place on 16-25 of August in Trinidad and Tobago, whose rich culture gave birth to the limbo dance and numerous unique music styles. 

Hailed as “the inspirational exchange of creative flows,” CARIFESTA gathers creatives from music, dance, drama, painting, sculpture, folk art, photography, and literature from over thirty Caribbean and South American countries. The festival aims to reinforce and develop the Caribbean cultural heritage and strengthen the bond between the Caribbean countries.

With a custom design that reflects this year’s visual aesthetic, the CARIFESTA app has proved to be the ultimate mobile companion to the already rich festival experience. 

The app’s features include:

  • Event calendar
  • Radio/podcast
  • Buzz (a section combining a group wall chat, map, and photos)
  • Videos
  • News 
  • Top users (users accrue points by doing various things in the app)

Rounding out the features are essentials like notifications, social media integration, mailing list, favorites, as well as sections with handy information about the festival. The app proved to be popular among attendees, with the top user scoring a whopping 10,270 points while using the app. 

Having powered events like TED, Aspen Ideas, and We Love Green, the Mobile Roadie platform is tailor-made for building essential event apps. If you need an app, learn more about the features of Mobile Roadie.

Mobile Roadie Teams Up With Arizona Department of Health Services To Build Award-Winning Medical Information App

The Arizona Infectious Disease Resource app wins top honors from Arizona Public Health Association

PALO ALTO, Calif., October 14, 2016 – Industry-leading mobile app builder Mobile Roadie congratulates its client, Arizona Department of Health Services, on winning top honors from the Arizona Public Health Association for their AZ Infectious Disease Resource (IDAZ) mobile app.

Created in partnership with Mobile Roadie, the medical information app took first place in the 2016 Health Education Media Maker Yearly Award (HEMMY) Awards category for health education or patient education material produced in the state of Arizona.

The ADHS IDAZ app provides both health care providers and patients in Arizona with information about infectious diseases including public health recommendations, real-time outbreak alerts and other health announcements in the state. Through this app, providers can reference the app for timely health notifications that directly impact their practice and patient population.

“The IDAZ app will provide significant value to the Arizona community by offering accurate medical information and resources in a convenient way,” said Mobile Roadie CEO Gino Padua. “The innovative approach of ADHS sets a great example for other state leaders across the country who are considering how to leverage the power of mobile to engage with their citizens on a wide range of issues.”

The app offers a wide range of information including:

  • A comprehensive list of infectious diseases and corresponding symptoms
  • Disease testing recommendations
  • Continuing Medical Education opportunities around the state
  • Arizona-specific reporting guidelines and state lab submission requirements
  • A map that allows providers to locate public clinics and health departments and call them with one tap

All of these features are easily accessible through the app’s dashboard, which features a news panel highlighting recent public health events and an intuitive menu of options.

Throughout development, the Mobile Roadie Client Services team worked closely with ADHS to envision and build an app that would fit their specific needs. Building the app presented unique challenges, including uploading and organizing four times the amount of content needed for a standard app. Mobile Roadie also handled all app store negotiations as part of its free submission service.

ADHS officially launched the IDAZ mobile app in summer 2016 during the annual Arizona Infectious Disease Training and Exercise, where it achieved over 200 downloads in a three-day period.

Mobile Roadie and ADHS are currently building an additional application that will provide medical reference information to nurses working in the state of Arizona.

Mobile Roadie Appoints Vova Soroka As New CTO

mobile roadie logo CTO Intellectsoft Vova Soroka

Enterprise Tech Engineer To Join Mobile Roadie Leadership Team And Spearhead Platform Innovations and Improvements

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 16, 2016 – Mobile Roadie, a leading mobile app creation and marketing platform and a division of Intellectsoft, announced today that Vova Soroka has been named Chief Technology Officer, effective immediately.

“Vova brings a wealth of development expertise, a strong management background and a keen sense for engineering user-friendly products to the Mobile Roadie team,” said Mobile Roadie CEO Gino Padua. “His relentless drive for excellence will be critical as we double down on our mission to provide clients with a best-in-class platform and newly-innovated capabilities and features.”

Soroka joins the team from Toluna where he served as Vice President of Product Management and later as VP of Development Operations. There he contributed to the creation of Toluna’s online market research products with a focus on analytics and online communities. Previously, Soroka spent 16 years at blue-chip technology leader IBM. While there, he worked with IBM’s Collaboration Technology team to research emerging innovations in mobile, video, and social networking platforms and capitalize on those trends. Most recently, he led the Global Technology Unit in the IBM Israel office.

“Our goal is to make it easy and accessible for anyone to build a mobile app and engage with their target audience, whether it’s a brand seeking to connect with its consumers or a band looking to share its music with fans,” said Soroka. “In addition to offering a seamless app-building experience, we want to provide app owners with the opportunity to test out new technology innovations that might not be mainstream yet. We are also very excited to roll out a new advanced analytics and user engagement system later this year, which will allow app owners to make strategic engagement decisions based on real-time user data and trends.”

Acquired by software services firm Intellectsoft in 2015, Mobile Roadie has undergone a transformation of late, introducing a newly-redesigned website and announcing Padua as its new CEO.

In the coming months, the Mobile Roadie team will roll out new pricing options and product capabilities including new themes, improved interface, robust designs, improved security, bug fixes, and app code optimizations. These changes will be complemented by a reinvigorated focus on client services and support, along with a soon-to-be-announced new advanced analytics and user engagement system.

Mobile Roadie Website Relaunch

Hikers looking over the horizon. A relaunch of mobile roadie, new adventure in mobile development

Mobile Roadie clients and friends,

We are thrilled to debut our redesigned website today, featuring an all-new list of customized app development tools engineered for a variety of businesses and verticals in mind, ranging from sports teams and conference organizers, to religious organizations and bands.

As part of our website relaunch, we wanted to share two client success stories with you, featuring the world-famous Pacha nightclub in Ibiza and the immensely popular Broadway show, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark.

From our first conversation with the Pacha team, we knew our partnership would be something special. As one of the world’s premier nightclub and event brands, this team creates social magic and unforgettable moments for clubgoers. We were thrilled to be a part of it! Pacha finds Mobile Roadie’s geo-fencing capabilities to be the most useful feature of their app. Utilizing their users’ location information they can send targeted notifications about upcoming events, as well as send push notifications to their devoted  fans when Pacha organizes parties abroad (like Pacha’s Festival Amsterdam in fall 2015). The Pacha team also mentioned that Mobile Roadie makes it very easy to update their app on-the-fly, which is a “must” since they never know when the perfect party opportunity will pop up.

Since its launch in January 2012, the Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark app has been downloaded almost 3.2 million times, serving as a testament to just how much this show has captivated Broadway and Spider-Man fans alike. While the app offered users exclusive information, photos, and updates, most importantly it provides the show with an opportunity to bring users the music they love. This in turn drove over $5,600 of music sales from within the app, creating a win-win scenario for both the cast and the fans.

This website redesign is just a small part of many exciting changes we’ll be rolling out in the coming months, including new themes, a wider range of color selections, beautifully updated designs, increased security features and app code optimizations. Keep an eye out for future announcements in the coming weeks and months! Cheers from our team in Los Angeles and happy app-building!
