Project description:
"We are looking for an experienced mobile app developer/team to migrate our existing AlertBuddies application from .NET MAUI to fully native Android and iOS implementations.

The goal is to smoothen app performance, improve responsiveness, and enhance the map and location experience while maintaining all existing functionality.

This project requires expertise in native mobile development, background location services, MQTT integration, and API-driven apps.

About AlertBuddies

AlertBuddies is a mobile platform designed to help users quickly alert and notify others during emergencies or panic situations. It allows users to connect with trusted contacts—called Buddies or Monitoring Me users—who get notified instantly in case of an emergency.

Users can activate alerts through the app, and their designated contacts are immediately notified via SMS, phone call, email, and push notifications. The app also supports live location sharing, trip tracking, and real-time monitoring, helping ensure timely assistance and safety for users.
