How we delivered

1

Conducted design audit before completing UX/UI overhaul

Tasked with improving user experience and increasing transparency, MobiDev's design experts completed a thorough audit of the ASG application's existing design. Using the insights from this audit, we proceeded to fully redesign the UX/UI, ensuring a clearer and more user-friendly interface.

Created tech strategy for rebuilding the existing application from scratch

Due to existing product constraints, we developed a comprehensive tech strategy to rebuild the application from the ground up. This included selecting the optimal technology stack and ensuring improved performance, scalability, and adaptability. We also added new features and enhancements to bring the application in line with modern industry standards.

3

Performed re-engineering of the application from the ground up

We completely rebuilt two native mobile applications using the design assets from our initial collaboration. We chose Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android to achieve optimal performance, especially for firmware-related features. Key enhancements include settings for additional speakers, over-the-air firmware updates, and the ability to download new car sounds.
