Project Summary

Brainhub rebuilt and relaunched the client's iOS mobile app for a fashion media company and created a roadmap of new features. The vendor now provides ongoing maintenance and support. The app's features perform well and are reported as 99.9% crash-free, and the team is praised for communication and meeting deadlines.

Key Challenges

Get app to a good technical standard and industry-leading quality
Ensure the mobile app aligns with the website's improved technical foundation
Move away from a native Swift implementation to a platform aligned with the website
Have an external vendor own the mobile platform to reduce internal workload

Project Deliverables

Rebuilt iOS mobile app
Released new app version
Roadmap of new features
Ongoing maintenance and support

Project Solution

Brainhub completed and rebuilt the client's iOS mobile app (moving away from a previous native Swift implementation to align with the website), finished the remaining ~30% of work, released the new version in November 2021, and helped build a roadmap of features. After feature development, Brainhub scaled the engagement down and now provides maintenance to keep the app sustainable and crash-free.

Project Outcome

App features are 99.9% crash-free
Resolved prior native app bugs and improved overall app performance
Strong communication and consistent on-time delivery, leading to a well-performing mobile app
