We helped Companion reach over 31.000 registered users
As their tech partner, we helped Companion, a mental health app, improve user experiences and reach more people.
Companion is a mental health app based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy principles in the workplace. The app provides users with information on how to manage stress and anxiety. We joined Companion as a software development partner to help the app increase its audience and improve its functionality.
Disclaimer: In 2023, Companion was acquired by Terryberry, a US-based employee engagement business.
The challenge: Launching an Android app and improving UI & UX
Companion’s iOS app was like a proof of concept – once it had gained traction on the App Store, the team behind it decided to launch the Android app too, as well as add a host of new features. Companion came to us with two goals — reaching more people and giving them a better experience with their app for mental health.
The team: 9 mobile app development experts
We provided a team of mobile application developers that could cater specifically to the needs of the client and project. We had a number of iOS and Android developers on the team and ensured they all had a deep understanding of the HealthTech industry and its tight regulations.
Data Science Services
We are offering leading end-to-end data solutions that will help you make the best business decisions, improve user experience, and turn your big vision into reality. Your dreams. Our expertise. Together, we give you the strength to succeed.
Let's goThe result: A compact application for mental health
We created a versatile mental health app for Companion, packed with new and improved functionality on iOS and Android. And, we built it in ReactNative, with an Umbraco CMS — making it effortless to update content, regardless of device (iOS, Android, mobile, tablet, and so forth).
After launching the refreshed apps, Companion recorded increased satisfaction and notable growth in both downloads and subscriptions to the platform. Since our work together, Companion now has an average of 4k+ users a month and 31k+ registered in total.
Some ways we got those results:
Two platforms. One code.
We used React Native to develop the two mobile apps using just one code. This significantly reduced the costs of the project while simultaneously simplifying the overall process.
Easy to use, easy to update
By using Umbraco, we’ve now made it possible for Companion to effortlessly change content regardless of device. This saves the team a whole lot of time, money and hassle.
A fresh look and feel
For both iOS and Android app development, we refreshed the UI and UX with a more intuitive design. We also elevated the in-app experience by improving essential features within the app, from push notifications to annual subscriptions, content categorization to breathing exercises and everything in between.
The tech we used:
- Objective C on iOS
- Java on Android
- React Native
- Umbraco
