Video Dating Library Integration
CMARIX tackled the challenge of integrating a Video Dating Library using a 3rd party SDK, providing a more interactive and personal way for users to connect.
Revolutionizing the Dating Scene
SayAllo and CMARIX partnered to redefine the online dating experience. SayAllo, an intelligent dating app, focuses on fostering meaningful relationships rather than casual encounters. Its unique approach uses a proprietary algorithm developed in collaboration with Dr. Brian Shaw, a pioneer of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to provide compatibility matches.
CMARIX, a global technology outsourcing and managed service providing company, played a pivotal role in refining and enhancing the SayAllo mobile app platform. Leveraging modern app development trends with powerful Swift technologies, CMARIX worked on revamping the app's interface, integrating new features, and optimizing performance. The partnership aimed to create an effective and user-friendly platform for individuals seeking genuine connections in the dating scene.
