Introduction

We recently had the opportunity to work on the Plaza Lanes app, a project that involved converting their website into a mobile app. In this case study, we'll go into the details of the project, from the initial concept to the final product, and everything in between.

About the App

Plaza Lanes is a bowling alley in Michigan. Their app allows for easy booking of lanes and parties.

This is the description of the app as it appears in the app stores:

Welcome to Plaza Lanes, your go-to destination for a top-notch bowling experience! Our bowling alley boasts 40 lanes open every day, catering to both competitive and recreational bowlers with various leagues. Enjoy a vibrant atmosphere and unwind at the Plaza Lanes Bar or grab a bite at the Spare Time Grill. Plan your next event with us in our newly renovated party room or gear up at Wiz-Bangs Pro Shop. Benefit from our amenities like ATM, WIFI, The Michigan Lottery, and The Pull Tab Machine. Book your lanes online and get ready for a memorable bowling experience at Plaza Lanes!

Creating the Plaza Lanes App

The Plaza Lanes app was created using our self-serve platform, which allows customers to design and customize their app with ease. This approach provides flexibility and control over the app's appearance and functionality, enabling customers to create an app that meets their specific requirements. Our support team is always available to assist customers throughout the app creation process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.

As part of the app creation process, we integrate additional features to enhance the app's functionality. These features include push notifications, which enable the Plaza Lanes team to communicate with users effectively and keep them informed about important updates and events. By incorporating these features, we ensure that the app provides a seamless and engaging user experience.

Publishing the App

During the app publishing process, it's not uncommon to encounter an app rejection from either Google or Apple. Typically these are minor issues, like accidentally providing incorrect links or information in the app store listing. Sometimes there's also a need for small website changes to make sure the content of the app is in compliance with the app store rules.

Our team has extensive experience in app publishing and has successfully published numerous apps on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. We are well-versed in the app review process and have encountered and resolved various issues that can arise during the review. We work closely with our customers to address any challenges that may arise and ensure that the app is published in a timely manner.

With the app now published on the app stores, users can easily download and access Plaza Lanes on their mobile devices. The Plaza Lanes team is pleased with the outcome and looks forward to the app's success.

Please keep in mind that the app is only available in USA.

The app has already been downloaded over 10 times and has received an average rating of 0.0 stars based on 0 reviews.

Conclusion

The completion of the Plaza Lanes app project marks a significant milestone for our team. We are proud to have delivered a high-quality app that enhances Plaza Lanes's online presence and provides users with a convenient way to access their services.
