About
Latter Day Saints (LDS) is a spiritual movement started by the missionaries of Lord Jesus Christ in the year 1830. Considered to be the restoration of the original church founded by the Lord, it has over 1 million members globally. The followers pay a ‘tithe’ (10% of their income) to the Church, which is used for social causes. They approached Brainvire to develop a mobile application that can be used by followers to record their income and make the donations accordingly.
Project Highlights
Brainvire’s team understood the principles behind the calculation of ‘tithe’ to initiate the development of mobile application. The app helps followers to auto record their income on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, and set reminders to contribute on time. They can also track their donations and export the records for taxation purposes. Additionally, there are backup and restore options for app users who have lost their phones or are upgrading to a new phone.
The Challenges
- Architecture RevampThe application was built on an older architecture that had to be revamped as per the latest coding frameworks.
- Subscription FunctionalityThe application’s subscription functionality was quite old and had to be changed to meet the latest security requirements.
- Compatibility with Apple iPhone XEvery iOS application needs to be compatible with the iPhone X as per Apple’s App Store Policies.
- Bugs in the Trial VersionIf users were using the app during the Trial period, then they were not able to ascertain if the in-app buttons were enabled or disabled.
