■Developing iO apps for a business that boasts sales of 60 billion yen
The service has both a web version and a native version (iOS and Android), of which the iOS app started to be released in 2015 and currently boasts annual sales of several tens of billions of yen. In addition, compared to the web version, some functions have not been implemented, and compared to the Android application, the so-called technical debt has not been resolved yet, and the iOS application has the largest room for improvement.
