Giggy | Android Gig Economy Social Application [XServer]

Giggy is a great solution for those who need to quickly build a mobile app where people can offer or search for quick jobs and earn some extra cash.

Description

Giggy is a full-working template (UI + Source Code) that works as a portal to make people post or look for gigs around their area, get in touch with other users with the built-in chat system. They can also rate other people based on how the gig was about.

Users can also edit their profile, report inappropriate gigs or add them to their favorites, see notifications about ratings and favorite jobs, edit their own ones, and their profile too.

The Admin can daily check the database for reported content or users and take action for it, as well as manually edit data in the Database.

The design is clean, code is commented and project folders and files are well organized in the package.

The concept of this app is similar to Craigslist, where you can post and browse gigs as ads in the community.
