Project Summary

GLOBALDEV (formerly Steelkiwi) developed a parental-control iOS entertainment app for Jezter, building a backend server and designing the app’s UI. The app includes a media catalog, personalized screen-time limits, and content playlists. In beta the product had 200 testers and received 20–30 positive reviews; parents praised the screen-time controls and requested more content. Communication used Skype, Trello, and Jira; a seven-hour time-zone difference was a challenge.

Key Challenges

  • Needed to outsource a company for mobile app development
  • Seven-hour time-zone difference challenged deadlines
  • Occasional miscommunication due to imperfect English of the project manager

Project Deliverables

  • iOS mobile app
  • Backend server for content upload
  • User interface (UI) design
  • Media catalog and playlist features
  • Parental control / screen-time functionality
  • Beta builds and weekly releases

Project Solution

The vendor discussed project specifications, negotiated price, and assigned a project manager who defined a timeline. They delivered weekly builds and provided a beta version for testing, iterating on feedback until final delivery. GLOBALDEV developed an iOS app that aggregates kid-friendly online content (videos, web games, comics), built a backend server for content upload, and designed the app’s UI, including a media catalog, playlists, and in-app parental screen-time controls.

Project Outcome

  • 200 beta testers with 20–30 positive reviews
  • Parents reported they could easily manage their child’s screen time
  • Final product delivered above expectations with a stable, bug-free UI
  • Responsive project communication via Skype, Trello and Jira
