# the-project

The work behind the experience.

The challenge

Flight crews arrive in unfamiliar cities with limited free time. Useful local recommendations and a way to connect with friends can make a layover easier to plan.

Our contribution

AppsTango worked with founder Marc Smith on the development of Crews, translating the flight-crew use case into the app’s Food, Fun, and Friends experiences.

# the-experience

Designed around real tasks.

01

Find somewhere to eat

Explore food options in the city around the practical needs of a flight crew on a layover.

02

Choose something to do

Browse activities and places that fit the time available between flights.

03

Connect with friends

Use the social side of Crews to connect the trip with the people a crew member knows.

# the-result

What the work makes possible.

A founder-led app built around a specific audience. Marc Smith highlighted the team’s programming expertise, responsiveness, and practical suggestions.

“AppsTango has been great to work with. They certainly have all the programming expertise that would take me years to learn. My program manager is always responsive, and often has great suggestions for how to solve the various problems we come across.”
Marc Smith · Founder, Crews
