“The Flying App” started as a graduate project at CIID in Denmark and then spun off into a startup focused on the frequent flyer community. The iPhone app combines three main components to become the ultimate companion for air travel: useful, insightful, social.

It is useful, keeping track of your flight info, providing real time updates, and providing easy access to services needed during air travel. It is insightful, showing beautiful, fun, interactive info-graphics about your flights. And it is social, allowing you to share this experience, stay connected with colleagues and friends who are also flying, and compete to see who has flown the most.

The first phase was taking the concept from idea and designs to a functioning beta app. At the start, we decided which content to include based on our personal ideas of what would make up the best flight companion. As we gained users, our focus shifted to the needs and desires of our growing community. We split our goals for features into phases of releases which were all documented in wireframes, descriptions and flow charts.
