Project Summary

Halcyon Mobile rewrote a native iOS app in Swift and built a new Android app in Kotlin for an EdTech company, integrating in-app payments, creating UX wireframes and high-fidelity mockups, and applying a lightweight web reskin. The apps launched recently to positive customer feedback and increased downloads, and the in-app payment system opened new sales channels; the engagement began in February 2019 and continues as Halcyon Mobile downscales involvement.

Key Challenges

Replace an existing iOS application and build a brand-new Android application to run alongside the existing web app

Project Deliverables

Rewritten native iOS app (Swift)
New Android app (Kotlin)
In-app payment integration
UX wireframes and high-fidelity mockups

Project Solution

They integrated in-app payment systems, reviewed UX, created wireframes and high-fidelity mockups in InVision, and applied a lightweight reskin to the existing web app. They also designed backend APIs that another team implemented.

Project Outcome

Positive customer feedback and strong download numbers
In-app payment system opened new sales channels
Design was highly appreciated by internal teams and customers
Continued engagement planned for future updates as vendor involvement ramps down
