Project Brief

With Love to the World: A Daily Bible Reading Guide has been published continuously to their subscribed members for forty-six years in print form. In late 2019, they decided to take the plunge and make their material available to a wider readership by adding the option of electronic distribution. 

The Solution Delivered

DB Gurus developed a custom built app that is available to both Apple and Android users and allows their subscribers to access the daily lessons via their phones and tablets. 

We also provided a companion cloud database that allows them to upload the scripts via a spreadsheet and ensures their complex formatting requirements were met. 

“A key requirement for our project was that loading the script into the app must be a process that a person without specialist IT skills could undertake, and this has been achieved. Once “on air”, corrections to any record can be made in a matter of minutes.”

Review


What was the project timescale?

The initial meeting was in October 2019 and V1 began trials in March 2020. The final release of V1 was in Aug 2020.

What challenges have been faced along the way?

Publishing to the Apple Appstore has been very difficult because we did not prepare the information adequately beforehand and it caused some delays. A month or 2 after the initial launch we had a further issue because the data was not getting downloaded onto some devices.

What were the successful aspects of the project?

The design of the product has been good and the final result was very pleasing.

What special or new features have been used?

This was our first involvement with a subscription based app, and it had several layers of complexity.

This was the first time we had allowed the user to adjust the font size in real time, one of the “nice to have” requirements that Peter and Lyn had asked for.
