Journey is a Universal App Template where users can post and browse reviews for cities they have visited. Reviews include star ratings, text and 1 optional picture as an attachment, it may be the particular place they have been amazed by, for example, a user visited New York and got impressed by the Statue of Liberty, he can write a review about New York and attach the photo of the statue he took there.
You, as the Admin of the app, will have to insert the cities in your own Parse Dashboard or Adminca.com CMS panel and they will get displayed on the Home screen and Search screens. The Home screen shows the 20 most rated cities, the Search controller allows users to search for a popular city and write/browse reviews about it
Users can also report inappropriate content in the review’s detail screen. You, as the Admin of the app, should daily check for reported reviews and take action for them.
Since its backend is by Parse you don’t have to buy any domain/hosting, there are NO php files to upload to a web server so you’ll save some money for server side.
You may also use the Adminca.com, a free CMS panel for Parse SDK as a great alternative to insert/edit data in your Parse Dashboard, after you’ll create your app on back4app, create a free account on http://adminca.com and create a new Panel, choose Self-hosted Parse Server and paste your Host link, Application ID and Master Key in the relative fields (you can find them in Core Settings of your back4app dashboard)
Journey is a native XCode project, Swift language, Storyboard, Universal, super easy to customize, backend with Parse SDK hosted on https://back4app.com.
