Project Summary

Fingent delivered multiple web and mobile projects for a religious media nonprofit, including interactive children's apps and a website for the Superbook series. The Superbook app launched to strong app-store performance and has been maintained and expanded (including translations into about 40 languages). The client praised Fingent's cost-conscious solutions and responsiveness while noting communication as an area for improvement.

Key Challenges

Needed cost-effective solutions to build multiple apps for video and radio content within nonprofit budget constraints.
Required extensive multi-language support (translations into about 40 languages) for a global audience.
Limited internal bandwidth and desire to minimize project costs led to outsourcing development.

Project Deliverables

Android and iOS Superbook mobile apps
Superbook interactive website
Praise.com website
Bible mobile app for Android and iOS
Language packs/translations for approximately 40 languages

Project Solution

Fingent developed Android and iOS children's apps (Superbook) and an interactive Superbook website, using Adobe Flex for cross-platform builds targeted at Android, iOS, and the Amazon App Store. The vendor initially staffed the project with two developers and a project manager and later scaled to around four developers plus a QA specialist and a project manager. Fingent also developed additional sites and apps (including praise.com and a Bible app) and provided ongoing enhancements and maintenance while supporting translations into roughly 40 languages.

Project Outcome

The Superbook app quickly climbed into the top 10 lists in app stores upon first launch and rose again during promotions.
The vendor met tight deadlines by working additional hours (weekends and nights), and the client reported overall satisfaction despite some early project-management and communication issues.
