Project Summary

Nomtek fixed, redesigned, and updated a faulty iOS DMX lighting-control app for iPad and iPhone, cleaning backend C++ code and developing new workflows and UI. The update led to substantially higher App Store performance — downloads increased by 250% (nearly quadrupled) — and improved impressions, conversion rates, and app units. The vendor remains an ongoing development partner.

Key Challenges

Recreate a DMX protocol-based lighting control app to control fixtures on productions and sets
Remediate and improve an existing iOS app after unsatisfactory work from a prior developer with high costs and poor delivery
Implement missing workflows and interaction patterns to make the app production-ready

Project Deliverables

Bug fixes
Cleaned/reworked backend code (C++)
Redesigned UI/framework for iPad and iPhone
Implemented new workflows and interactions (scroll, swipe)

Project Solution

Nomtek fixed the app's bugs, cleaned up and re-architected significant portions of the backend in C++, and redesigned the iPad and iPhone UI. They implemented new workflows and interaction patterns (such as scroll and swipe), filled gaps from the prior version, and provided multiple builds to meet tight deadlines. The work included close collaboration with the client's team and ongoing development support.

Project Outcome

Downloads increased by 250% (nearly quadrupled)
Impressions, conversion rates, and app units increased significantly
Positive user reception at a trade show and improved customer enthusiasm
The team met deadlines and produced multiple daily builds to satisfy launch requirements
