Client

klllk builds friendships by connecting individuals and groups through events they host or attend together, guided by shared interests and social mapping.

klllk is a dynamic, feature-rich mobile social networking app built to bring people together through shared experiences—whether that’s concerts, sporting events, or casual meetups. Rather than relying on endless swiping like traditional platforms, klllk emphasizes real-time connections by centering interactions around events. With tools like QR code–based networking and group collaboration, the app makes it simple to meet new people and strengthen social circles. Every user can choose to be an organizer or a participant, giving them full flexibility in how they create, join, and engage with experiences on the platform.

The Challenge

Developing the klllk apps for both iOS and Android presented several complex challenges:

  • Search Functionality: Matching users based on detailed criteria like interests, location, age group, and group size required a sophisticated, multi-parameter search engine.
  • UI/UX Balance: The interface needed to appeal equally to event hosts and attendees, creating a seamless, inviting experience across diverse user types and devices.
  • QR Code Integration: Implementing secure and reliable QR-based user interactions added a technical layer to the app.
  • Subscription Model: Controlling access to features based on user subscriptions demanded secure and scalable architecture.
  • Performance Bottlenecks: API-heavy screens and real-time features were slowing down responsiveness and needed optimization.

The Solution

NULogic approached the project in two strategic phases:

  • Phase 1 involved deep discovery work, including requirement gathering, wireframing, prototyping, and database schema design. This set the groundwork for a user-centered and technically sound product.
  • Phase 2 focused on implementation: intuitive UI/UX design, optimized coding, rigorous user acceptance testing (UAT), robust database integration, and smooth deployment to Google Play and the App Store.

To overcome performance and technical challenges:

  • Advanced search algorithms were implemented for precise matchmaking.
  • A modern and adaptable UI was created to cater to all user types and screen sizes.
  • QR functionality was built using dynamic, scan-tested technology.
  • API calls were refactored and versioned to improve responsiveness without disrupting app stability.

The Results

  • User Experience Users enjoy a smooth, intuitive interface optimized for mobile engagement from signup to social connections.
  • Engaged Community
With real-time chat, QR code networking, and event hosting, users actively build social communities.
  • Scalable by Design
Modular APIs, cloud-native architecture, and optimized backend systems enable effortless updates.
  • Trusted Partnership
NULogic continues to support klllk with hosting, strategic enhancements, and technical evolution—ensuring always-on reliability and scalability.

Highlights

"NULogic built our complicated mobile apps in 10 months! Working with the client-facing team was a terrific professional experience. They were kind, patient, knowledgeable, and responsive. Their dedication to our success resulted in a better version of the app than we had envisioned, and we are better as a company for our relationship with NULogic.”
