Timeline milestones

A brand new dscout iOS app. When dscout validated their business idea with the MVP app, they needed a new (more complex) app to attract a bigger audience. UI and UX of the app has been rethought and redesigned. Our goal was to make their vision come true and help them to engage more users. To make it happen, we composed a completely new User Interface full of visual effects to catch people's attention. We also added smooth animations that bring joy.

Offline Support: Being able to use the app where ever you are, no matter the circumstances, was a crucial goal from the product-business perspective. To make it possible, we have implemented a stable framework for hassle-free data synchronization including big media files.

Expanding beyond the U.S. was a key business step for the dscout team. Localizing the app into several languages drastically increased the worldwide product range.

With over 3 years of iteration and maintenance, testing has played a big role in the app's development. Any tiny bug would be followed with lots of complaints from daily users. Continuous Integration and thorough testing gave us an almost crash-free app.
