App Spotlight Interview for NoiseGate
After winning the gold award for the best mobile app design during this summer, NoiseGate has now been featured for a spotlight interview. In addition to sharing the backstory of the app, how it was created with many surprises and rewards during the journey, the interview covers topics such as the technologies that were used, how NoiseGate was rebuilt from scratch over the last few months, how it is positioned in the market and what future features and implementations for other platforms could look like.
Please share with us the backstory of what motivated you to create this app.
The NoiseGate iOS app was developed by a group of master class students of the Apple Developer Academy in Napoli (Italy) and was the first app published by the 2017/2018 academy alumni.
