Project Summary

Unicsoft provided staff-augmentation and built a native iOS application for a digital music-sheet library, enabling users to search, view, annotate and share scores. The vendor implemented a high-performance Swift app with complex custom UI and features such as annotation, scanned-material cleanup, a metronome and a tuner. Users are satisfied and the client praises Unicsoft's reliability, timely delivery, and strong team culture; the team uses Slack, Jira, and Confluence for collaboration.

Key Challenges

  • Provide a Spotify-like digital sheet music service with searchable scores and publications
  • Find native iOS developers with Swift expertise and C++ experience
  • Ensure user data protection and security for streamed content
  • Build a high-performance, native iOS app in a competitive Berlin market

Project Deliverables

  • iOS application (Swift) available in the App Store
  • Complex custom UI with high-performance native elements
  • Annotation and minor editing features for music scores
  • High-quality scanned material cleanup and sharing capabilities
  • Practice tools such as a metronome and tuner

Project Solution

Unicsoft supplied vetted developers with the needed Swift and C++ expertise, onboarded them into the client's team, and implemented a native Swift iOS application from scratch. They focused on security for streaming content and built a complex, custom UI with native rendering and annotation capabilities. The vendor delivered features including score rendering and minor editing/annotation, sharing functionality, scanned-material cleanup, and tools like a metronome and tuner, and integrated the app with the client's digital music library.

Project Outcome
