Zoundz App

Overview

The Zoundz mobile team came to us with the purpose of helping pet owners and vets. The purpose of this application is to help relax the pets and reduce their stress with the help of music.
We were given the purpose to build the app but separate music stations were needed to be developed as per animals. The app also needed features to connect with different streaming devices. We integrated the app with Alexa, Google Home, Chromecast, etc. Every step of the process was taken to ensure users’ ease-of-access.
