Jyotish App: Personalized Astrology Consultations
Overview
A comprehensive mobile app offering personalized astrology services, including live consultations, horoscopes, poojas, and interactive features, designed to enhance user engagement and provide seamless communication with astrologers.
Project Description
The Jyotish app connects users with astrologers for consultations via chat, audio call, video call, and live streaming. I developed both the user and astrologer apps, ensuring features such as live sessions, real-time communication, a wallet system, secure payments, and the ability to send gifts to astrologers. The app offers users the ability to choose an astrologer, book sessions, access free services like kundali matching, receive daily horoscopes, and participate in online poojas. Astrologers can manage earnings and withdrawals. We used Agora for audio, video, and live streaming features, and Socket for real-time communication.
