Project Summary
ROCKETECH developed an iOS mobile app for BookWA, a social network for book enthusiasts, co-creating the business model, iterating the app structure and performing user testing. The app is available in TestFlight and the vendor guided a lean testing-first approach, helping the client prioritize features and manage budget. The engagement began in mid‑2018 and is ongoing.
Key Challenges
- Transition an offline business to an online mobile app
- Define and prioritize features and the business model for a new social network
- Manage limited budget by focusing on testing and incremental production development
Project Deliverables
- iOS app deployed to TestFlight
- Business model and app structure
- User testing and feedback-driven iterations
- Frontend and backend implementation
Project Solution
ROCKETECH collaborated with the client to define the business model and app structure, simplified and prioritized features, and developed an iOS-only mobile app. They ran user recruitment and TestFlight user testing, used feedback to iterate designs and features, and advised the client to defer secondary features to manage budget. Communication channels included WhatsApp, Telegram and Skype, and the vendor provided ongoing project management and development support.
Project Outcome
- App is 75–80% developed and deployed to TestFlight
- 80% of features are in production and 20% are in testing
- Development work was usually on time and on budget
