Education Platform For PopSmartKids
About the Client
In 2018, A mom cum entrepreneur had an idea that would revolutionize digital learning as a platform. Focusing on mentoring over monitoring , Priyanka Raha developed a way to impart learning and experiences to children through screen time with the end goal of making them ready and able global citizens, and at the same time, involve parents into the process just as much.
The Problem
A simple google on the best mobile app development companies let the client to our website which created a solid impression on them through our experience and work in the mobile app development domain. They required a mobile app for kids that would embody the essence of the mission that the company was trying to achieve. The MVP was a story writing app that would encourage kids to write and express themselves with colours and pictures. We were to help them through the actual implementation of the app.
Through discussions, it was decided that a fixed scope plan of 4 weeks would be sufficient to carry out this task under a fixed engagement model. The entire duration of the project was divided into 4 phases with short sprints and multiple scopes. The design was already prepared by the client and shared with us, so the design team rested easy on this one. A communication channel through emails & Skype was put in place for constant feedback on the developed product.

Strategy
The plan was to devise an educational platform which could convert the screen-time of kids into a productive experience. The project spanned over a period of four weeks where we interacted with the partner over a fixed engagement model.
Analysis Planning
As we were designing the app from start to finish, we decided that React Native was the best stack for the Frontend for its many cross platform functionalities along with Firebase as the Backend.
UI/UX
The first phase of the project involved our designers meticulously creating designs for the UI with other essential features like a notepad, photo capturing functionalities and a canvas for sketching.
Development
The in-house team integrated features like authentication functions, UAC in-app purchases and payment management along with other functionalities necessary for an educational app.
Testing
Over the development process, the product was put through rigorous manual testing to correct lags with the client kept in loop about the progress.
Delivery
As a result of a successful engagement, the app was launched in both the Play Store and App store while we continuously work on fixes to improve the product.
