The Challenges

The main challenges and tasks were the following

To build an architecture, create entities and relations between them
To show different screens for playing video, audio or showing text with instructions of what to do
To set notifications according to the correct time zone of the app users
To create user-friendly interface and navigation panel, clearly identifying various aspects of character flaws and exercises to them
To add possibility to pay right in the mobile application

The Solutions

Project was separated into two parts. The first was the backend part to manage content and provide data via API to the second part, which was a mobile application. For the backend part we used Laravel framework and mobile application was built with React Native.

Our team managed to deliver the solution which met all clients goals. We divided all aspects of human mental well-being (anger, sadness, fear, happiness, confidence, conflict, depression, relationships, sleep etc) into different groups, called islands . Each island had a bunch of exercises or useful methods, which helped people to solve their problems. Besides, the app had the following features

Users had and ability to unblock different types of exercises by buying or finishing the scope of exercises
Each customer had a history of finished exercises and a reminder of what they needed to finish at what time, taking into account different time zones of users. For this we used push notification from One Signal
We implemented Stripe payment method to enable users buy access for some exercises in application
We added the ability to save opened content to customer devices and reproduce it from it to save network traffic. So customers didn't have to download this content each time, when they needed help or when the Internet was too slow.
