Project Summary

Five built an iOS mobile app for Envision Experience to connect students attending academic summer camps, providing scheduling, speaker information, student profiles and a pre-program checklist. The project began with an MVP pilot and moved through iterative design sprints to a first-generation full launch; the client praised Five's project management, timeline discipline, and value. The client serves roughly 25,000–26,000 students each summer and is continuing to iterate and expand the app.

Key Challenges

No existing mobile app and the organization was behind the times
Need to serve a mobile population of roughly 25,000–26,000 students each summer
Requirement for a combined utility and engagement experience (schedules, speakers, peer connections, and checklist)

Project Deliverables

iOS mobile app (MVP and full first-generation)
Schedule and program listing feature
Speaker bios and extended information
Student profiles with social integration
Pre-program checklist
Iterative design sprints and product updates

Project Solution

Five engaged in January and took an iterative approach, launching an MVP in May that was piloted with a smaller group of students. The MVP included program schedules, speaker lists, student listings and a pre-program checklist. After gathering feedback, Five ran additional design sprints to add deeper social integration and student profiles, expanded speaker information, and fully launched a first-generation app at the end of July. The team continues to iterate on the app and plans to port it to Android and add personal assessments and customer-acquisition features in a February/March release.

Project Outcome

Achieved a 4.5-star App Store rating for the MVP
Reached ~900 daily active users during the summer pilot
Positive user and parent feedback about schedule, profiles, and checklist usability
Observed a 4–5 point improvement in MPS scores across programs (attributed in part to the app)
