Istanbul is a city long famed for its beauty, its mystery, and its ability to fascinate and entertain people with a wide variety of tastes and preferences. Many guides for getting around and getting to know the people and places in Istanbul exist, but to get the true inside scoop on this famous destination, you need the knowledge and special tips of the city's hip and happening population. Vayen's Mavi iPhone application delivers the goods on Istanbul in a fun and beautifully-designed package that's perfect for taking on a trip or simple discovering new parts of town. Users can stay in touch with Istanbul's high fashion quotient with the Mavi app thanks to a smooth integration of the popular jeans manufacturer's urban line of tees. Notes on some of the city's best joints are available around the clock with input from nearly a hundred Istanbul insiders, who have added their thoughts on over two hundred points of interest around the Turkish jewel. Highlighting the great new ways in which technology can inspire and unite city-dwellers, Vayen's design and implementation of the Mavi app for iPhone is an indispensable tool for anyone interested in Istanbul.

Burası İstanbul :)
İnce düşünülmüş, keyifli bir uygulama olmuş. Elinize sağlık. Önerilen mekanların fotoğrafları ve öneren kişi hakkında birkaç satır daha bilgi olsa süper olurmuş.

Doing a city like Istanbul justice is a tall order for even the most experienced of developers, but at Vayen, the challenge of bridging Mavi's user-inputted city guide with the good looks and thrill of its fashion line was welcome. The unique and exciting creation of a database of comments and ideas from city residents and visitors provided a great basis for this useful application, and Vayen took special care to ensure that from the back-end to the smallest touches of the interface, users would be able to take full advantage of Mavi's city guide. Both a stunning design and a secure underlying structure were necessary components for this ambitious application, which today serves as the guide with the greatest number of contributors.

Meshing the utility of the guide with visual branding that reflects Mavi's specific character helped to push the limits in this undeniably hip app. The user interface design, which borrows heavily from Mavi's particular look and feel with elements of denim and other fashionable touches, captures the city of Istanbul in a light that's as sleek and appealing as a model strutting down the catwalk. Vayen used the inclusion of Mavi fashion features to give the application an overall polish that echoes the luxury of premium fashion design.

Even the best-looking apps demand a quality framework to function well and provide a pleasing user experience. Vayen provided Objective C - XCode client engineering and PHP server engineering for a fully competent and flexible application architecture. The application benefits from Vayen's strict dedication to code development that not only meets and passes standards but which allows for expert optimization and scalability. The result is an application that wins users and adds value to the Mavi brand -even as it grows and changes with its beloved flagship city.
