Project Summary

Miquido designed and built iOS and Android streaming apps for a German radio company, delivering premium on-demand radio features and integrated payment platforms. The vendor implemented complex features such as channel mixing and crossfading and integrated Stripe on Android while the iOS payment system was being developed. The apps launched with a strong App Store rating and early paying users; the engagement began in January 2017 and remains ongoing.

Key Challenges

Build a user-friendly app for the classical market without an in-house team.
Implement a complex radio-on-demand streaming model rather than typical on-demand streaming.
Integrate payment systems and premium service features for subscribers.
