Nearby SpotsMotorcycle community app

Nearby Spots gives motorcycle enthusiasts one place for the social and practical parts of riding. Members can introduce themselves through rider profiles, show the motorcycles in their personal garage, publish photos and captions, interact with community posts and open details for riding spots. The product was already designed and developed before Xmethod entered the project, so the assignment was not a ground-up rebuild.

• Existing product

  The new work had to fit the app's established navigation, accounts and content instead of replacing them.

• Community clarity

  Posts and profiles needed a clearer hierarchy so riders could move from discovery to connection with less friction.

• Paid membership

  Nearby Plus needed a visible paywall and dependable purchase, restoration and access handling.

The goal was deliberately focused: improve selected journeys in the product that users already knew, keep riders informed outside an active session and create a clear path to subscribing to Nearby Plus. That meant treating design and engineering as one connected task. Feed and profile decisions had to remain familiar, while the paywall and notification behaviour had to feel like a natural extension of the same app.

We configured subscription products, plans and packages in RevenueCat and connected them to the app's paywall. The integration links the selected plan to the purchase flow and keeps subscription status available to the application. Purchase restoration and access to paid functionality were included as part of the same mechanism, giving Nearby Plus one central place for managing membership instead of scattering subscription rules across individual screens.

  Restore and access

  Returning users can restore purchases, while the app reads the current membership state for paid features.

Development extended the existing Flutter application with the agreed UX changes, push notifications and subscription functionality. Testing focused not only on isolated controls but on the way the additions behaved inside the product's existing navigation and account experience. That was important because a technically correct paywall can still fail if status changes, restoration or notifications do not match the screens around it.

Nearby Spots retained the product that was already in place and gained the agreed extensions around it. Riders can be reached through push notifications, Nearby Plus has a RevenueCat-connected route from plan selection to subscription access, and the visual concept shows how feed, profile and membership screens can develop within one language. The result is both an implemented technical foundation and a concrete design direction for further interface work.
