Project Summary
Tooploox developed the Android version of a companion app for a flying camera device from conception through design and implemented a large portion of the iOS version. They performed device testing (notably Android), handled Wi‑Fi communications for video download and control, provided design work, and continue to provide ongoing support while scaling resources to client needs.
Key Challenges
- The client did not have an internal app team and required an external partner to build the companion app.
- The app needed to support device-specific features such as media access, calibration, setup, and emergency landing.
- The client’s product and app requirements evolved, requiring flexibility and frequent pivots.
Project Deliverables
- Android app
- iOS app (majority development)
- App design and UI work
- Device testing and integration (Wi‑Fi video download and control)
- Animations and UI polish
- Ongoing support
Project Solution
Tooploox built the Android app from scratch and implemented a large part of the iOS app, provided initial product design when the concept was undefined, and executed extensive device testing and integration (including Wi‑Fi video transfer and device control). The engagement involved flexible resourcing (initially two developers per platform, currently two Android developers), regular standups, integration with the client’s Jira workflow, and ongoing support.
Project Outcome
- The vendor delivered a responsive development process that incorporated client feedback and improved the product experience.
- Tooploox integrated well with the client’s project management and workflows (standups, Jira), facilitating smooth collaboration.
- The engagement provided scalable resources and ongoing support, enabling continued product development.
