Project Summary

AgileEngine built an Android fitness video platform in React Native for a digital publisher, mirroring an existing iOS app. They implemented discovery, scheduling, profiles, search/filtering, favoriting, and Chromecast integration, and supplied senior and part-time developers with nearshore overlap for communication. The app drove significant user growth and delivered high-quality, bug-free code on time and on budget.

Key Challenges

Lack of Android-specific developers and insufficient time/resources to ramp capabilities in-house

Project Deliverables

Android app built in React Native
Wireframes for every feature
Discover screen with content browsing
Scheduling feature to plan and track videos
Profiles, search and filtering, and favoriting functionality
Chromecast streaming integration (receiver not implemented)
In-app purchasing routed to the web app

Project Solution

AgileEngine built the Android app in React Native to mirror an existing iOS product. They created wireframes for every feature, implemented discovery, scheduling, profiles, search and filtering, favoriting, connected Chromecast streaming (without building the receiver), and routed purchases to the web app. The engagement included one senior developer, a part-time developer in Ukraine, and a part-time project manager, leveraging nearshore developers in Argentina for communication overlap.

Project Outcome

Significant growth in user base despite limited marketing
No major issues or bugs; delivered high-quality, well-organized code
Strong communication and project management using Jira, Google Hangouts, and daily standups
