About this Project

ZEN Kayak is an Android and iOS mobile app that helps kayakers find places to launch their kayak.

I built it using React Native with Apollo/GraphQL and a Firebase backend.

The app depends heavily on geolocation permissions and MapBox to track the user's coordinates while they are kayaking.

Algolia is utilized to allow users to search by location.

It is a "freemium" app that uses RevenueCat to manage premium account subscriptions.
