Project Summary

Mercury Development built a native Android app for a health‑tech startup to replicate the core features of the client's existing iOS and web versions. The vendor reviewed the iOS codebase, scoped a v1 release, and executed development with weekly calls and project management in JIRA and Google Sheets. The delivered Android app achieved parity with many iOS core features and met the client's goals for increased engagement.
