Project Summary

Hipo developed a native iOS and Android app for printed Bibles that recognizes a page and displays related interactive content. Using provided PDF wireframes and detailed specs, the team produced a pixel-perfect UI across mobile and tablet devices and released a limited light version that received positive user and demo feedback. The vendor maintained regular communication through Slack, email, and weekly video calls, producing consistent alpha releases and iterating based on feedback.

Key Challenges

  • Turn a unique concept for an app that interacts with printed Bibles into a working product
  • Lack of internal resources to execute the vision
  • Need to maintain a consistent UI across mobile and tablet devices

Project Deliverables

  • Native iOS and Android app
  • Visual capture function for page recognition
  • Pixel-perfect mobile/tablet UI based on provided wireframes
  • Light (limited) release/alpha versions

Project Solution

Hipo developed a native iOS and Android application that adapts to mobile and tablet displays and replicates the client's provided designs. They implemented a visual capture feature that recognizes a reader’s location in a printed book without QR codes and retrieves related text and interactive elements. The team delivered a light release and produced regular alpha builds while communicating via Slack, email, and weekly video calls.

Project Outcome

  • Positive responses from users and strong feedback at demos and trade shows
  • Enthusiastic praise for the light version of the app
  • Regular alpha releases and consistent, responsive communication
