LetsTuneup

Soon after launch (Christmas '16 on both, Play Store and App Store), LetsTuneup was accepted into FbStart, Facebook's Developer Programme under the Bootstrap track. As the sole developer of this app, I was responsible for everything right from conceptualising it, to the user experience and ultimately, it's user interface.
