CoverFanz - Fan Engagement and Artist Booking Platform
CoverFanz puts performers, venues and fans on one app: venues book performers on written terms, and fans find the next show on a map. A booking carries the event, the times and the fee, the performer attaches their own terms before it goes live, a confirmed event can carry a promotion, and reviews build each performer's record. The backend, the iPhone and Android app and the admin dashboard shipped inside one month in 2022, and both stores approved it on the first attempt.

The Full Story
Performers, venues and fans on one app, with bookings on clear terms and a founder who launched it inside a month.
Bookings that lived in direct messages
Live entertainment runs on a loose chain of messages. A venue finds a performer through a friend, agrees a date in a chat, and the terms live in someone's memory until the night goes wrong. Performers have no record of the venues that treated them well, venues cannot see who is reliable, and fans rarely know where the artist they follow is playing next.
CoverFanz puts the three of them on one app. The founder needed it live quickly, so the backend, both mobile apps and the admin dashboard had to ship inside a month.
Fans find the next show
A fan searches by performer or by venue and lands on a profile with the performer's style, their rating and their next performance. One tap opens the venue on the map with directions, so following an artist turns into turning up.
For performers that is an audience that knows where to find them. For venues it is a crowd that arrives because the act they came for is on the bill.
Three kinds of account, each one checked
People sign up as a fan, a performer or a venue, and each gets the profile its job needs. A venue confirms its real address against the map when it registers and waits for approval before it can book anyone, so performers only ever receive requests from places that exist.
A booking with the terms written down
The venue sends a booking with the event, the date and times, the address and the fee. The performer accepts or declines from their activity feed and attaches their own terms and restrictions, which the venue must accept before the booking goes live.
Nothing depends on remembering what was said in a chat. Both sides can see what was agreed, and a declined request is a clear answer rather than silence.
Promotions that fill the room
Once a booking is confirmed the venue can attach a promotion, a limited-time offer on the night, and share the event straight to social media. Performers pass the offer on to their own followers, so every booking becomes marketing for both the venue and the act.
Reputation that follows the performer
After the event the venue and the fans review it with a star rating and a few words. The reviews collect on the performer's profile and in their activity feed, so a performer who shows up and delivers builds a record that wins the next booking, and a venue can choose an act on evidence instead of a rumour.
Safe to use, paid to book
Anyone can report a profile for abusive language, an inappropriate picture or another reason, and the report goes to the founder's admin dashboard for action. Browsing is free, while booking through the booking agent needs a subscription, which is the platform's income and a filter that keeps casual requests away from busy performers.
One month, approved the first time
The backend was delivered in the first week with documentation the client called amazing, followed by the React Native app for iPhone and Android and the admin dashboard, all before the deadline. Both store submissions were approved on the first attempt, the Play Store inside two days, so the launch date held.
CoverFanz went live in the US with a five-star review on the contract, and the same client came back for two more projects, including the Invoice Manager app their distribution business runs on.
What they said
Worked on an application for my business and I cant thank him enough. Went above and beyond again to deliver the best app I have ever received. Worked tirelessly on my project and spent many hours testing and debugging everything from functionality to design. Moniruzzaman communicated with me on a daily basis and cleared out any confusion before hand. He is available almost all the time, his response back is less then an hour if he is busy. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to mobile and web app development. This is my second time doing business with Moniruzzaman. The reason being is a timely manor in which he delivers his job requirements and even after completing the contract and there is an issue he will fix it without a problem. Overall, I enjoyed working with him and i will most definitely hire him in the future.

(5.0)Md. Moniruzzaman went above and beyond for me and completed my project on time. Given the time limit, he dedicated 15-18 hours a day to work on the project. Completed the backend within a week and also provided amazing documentation. Moved on to the frontend and also completed it before the due date. I could not ask for anyone better for this. well worth the price and you will not go wrong with him I promise.

It was built in the same month as the apps, on the same GraphQL API.

Invoice Manager - Inventory and Billing App for Distributors
An offline-first tablet app that lets a distributor's sales reps take orders, check stock and print invoices at the retailer's counter, with or without signal. Stock is checked as the order is built, every invoice takes the next number in sequence and keeps it through sync, the PDF prints over Bluetooth before the rep leaves, and a filter shows which shops still owe money. It moved real stock and printed real invoices in the field.
