Evangelist Apps

We were commissioned by Third Bridge to design a secure, high-performance mobile experience that allows global B2B clients to access proprietary expert interviews. The goal was to create an interface that supports seamless transition between online and offline modes while upholding the highest standards of data protection and content security.

The Challenge

Designing for highly confidential expert insights presented unique UX and security hurdles:

• Security vs. Usability: Implementing strict anti-screenshot behavior and unauthorized access protections without disrupting the flow of research.

• Complex Content Consumption: Creating an intuitive way for users to manage and navigate large volumes of audio files and text transcripts.

• Reliable Offline Access: Designing a logic for background downloads and offline storage that feels invisible and effortless to the user.

• Cross-Device Consistency: Ensuring a unified and polished experience across both iPhone and iPad layouts while maintaining a clean, distraction-free environment.

The Solution

We led the end-to-end discovery and UX/UI design process to build a streamlined, research-focused mobile interface.

• Discovery & Wireframing: Developed high-fidelity wireframes to map out complex user flows, specifically focusing on content retrieval and secure storage.

• Prototyping & Validation: Created clickable prototypes in Figma to simulate the offline experience and the transition between different media types (audio vs. text).

• Security-Centric Design: Strategically integrated security protocols, such as anti-capture warnings and secure authentication prompts, into the user journey to minimize friction.

• Iterative Usability Testing: Refined the navigation and filtering systems based on user feedback to ensure that even the largest libraries of interviews remained easily searchable.

• Visual Identity: Aligned the interface with brand guidelines to project professionalism, clarity, and trust, tailored for an executive-level user base.

The Results

The redesigned mobile experience has significantly strengthened Third Bridge’s digital delivery:

• Higher Engagement: Clients reported faster content discovery and a more intuitive search experience, leading to increased app usage.

• Seamless Offline Utility: The improved offline interaction patterns allowed users to conduct research during travel or in low-connectivity areas with total confidence.

• Enterprise-Level Trust: The transparent yet firm security mechanisms enhanced client trust in the platform’s ability to protect sensitive intellectual property.

• Product Scalability: The polished, modular design framework now serves as a foundation for future feature additions across Third Bridge’s digital product suite.

We developed Badger’s Den, a comprehensive digital platform consisting of a mobile app for customers and a secure web portal for administrators. The solution centralizes salon operations, from real-time booking to membership management.

The Challenge

• Revenue Growth: Achieved a 50% increase in membership conversions through streamlined in-app promotions.

• Operational Excellence: Significantly reduced overlapping appointments, leading to a 95% customer satisfaction rate.

We developed a high-performance, enterprise-grade Android application for Third Bridge to provide global clients with secure access to expert interview content. Built using a modern Android stack, the app enables users to consume sensitive audio and transcript data both online and offline while maintaining strict content protection and a seamless user experience.

The Challenge

The project required balancing high-end security with a smooth research workflow. Key challenges included:

• Content Security: Preventing unauthorized access, downloads, and screenshots of proprietary expert interviews.

• Complex Offline Support: Enabling reliable background downloading of large audio files and transcripts that remain accessible without an internet connection.

• Search & Discovery: Implementing fast, accurate search functionality across an extensive library of content.

• Technical Scalability: Building a modular architecture capable of supporting continuous delivery and enterprise-level stability.

The Solution

Evangelist Apps engineered a robust solution using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose following Clean Architecture principles.

Technical Highlights include:

• Advanced Security Controls: Integrated anti-screenshot protection, secure Firebase Authentication, and remote configuration for dynamic feature management.

• Modern Android Stack: Leveraged Kotlin Coroutines and Flow for efficient background processing and Dependency Injection (Hilt/Koin) for a scalable, testable codebase.

• Personalized UX: Developed a powerful search module and personalized activity sections (Recently Viewed/Downloaded) to enhance user productivity.

• DevOps Excellence: Established a fully automated CI/CD pipeline using GitHub and CircleCI to ensure high code quality and frequent, stable releases.

The Results

The application has significantly upgraded the content delivery strategy for Third Bridge:

• Zero-Leaked Content: Strict security protocols and anti-capture technology have successfully protected sensitive intellectual property.

• High Performance: The use of Jetpack Compose and modern architecture resulted in a fast, intuitive UI that handles high volumes of data with ease.

• Enterprise Stability: The robust testing and CI/CD framework have ensured high uptime and a bug-free experience for professional users.

We partnered with the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) to replace fragmented spreadsheets and manual processes with a unified digital ecosystem. Leveraging Microsoft Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dynamics 365, we built a scalable Membership CRM that centralizes candidate management, member lifecycles, and event operations into a single, secure platform.

The Challenge

As the UK’s leading recruitment trade body, REC struggled with:

• Manual Inefficiencies: High-volume renewals and event registrations were managed via spreadsheets, leading to errors and delays.

• Data Silos: A lack of real-time visibility between teams regarding member status and financial transactions.

• Compliance Needs: The requirement for a robust system to handle sensitive data and audit trails in line with GDPR.

The Solution

We delivered a custom CRM solution built on Dynamics 365 that serves as the organization's single source of truth. Key features include:

• Automated Workflows: Power Automate handles membership renewals, compliance checks, and data validation, drastically reducing admin time.

• Integrated Payments: Seamless connection with Stripe and BACS Direct Debit for automated, secure payment processing.

• Unified Interface: A custom Power Apps UI for managing candidates, job orders, and multi-tier membership lifecycles.

• Marketing Integration: Utilization of Dynamics 365 Marketing for streamlined event management and member engagement.

The Results

The new platform has transformed REC’s operational efficiency:

• Reduced Workload: Automation of repetitive tasks has significantly lowered manual overhead.

• Improved Accuracy: Centralized data has eliminated errors in member records and payment tracking.

• Scalability: The modular Microsoft 365 environment allows REC to adapt pricing and membership rules without major redevelopment.

• Enhanced Visibility: Real-time reporting on financial and membership KPIs enables faster, more informed decision-making.

Problem Statement

Client sought to improve UX for users accessing expert interview archives via offline audio and transcript access, secure storage to prevent unauthorized access and screenshots, notification of new interviews, convenient search and access to previously viewed/listened content.

Solutions Provided

Evangelist Apps played a crucial role in the discovery phase and then  the development of Forum mobile app for iPhone and iPad. The app provided an easy-to-use interface that allowed users to access forum interviews with ease. The app's interface was user-friendly, making it easy for users to navigate and find the content they were looking for.

One of the standout features of the app was the ability to download interview audio and transcripts securely. Users had the option to download multiple pieces of content simultaneously and continue downloading even when the app was in the background. The interview transcripts were securely stored on CoreData, while the downloaded audio was stored in the app's document directory.

To enhance the app's usability, Evangelist Apps implemented a powerful and intuitive search feature that allowed users to find interviews by companies and/or keywords. In addition, user activity sections were added to track listened and read interviews.

The app's functionality was further improved with the addition of push notifications, which alerted users to new content as soon as it became available. To protect the content's privacy, EvangelistApps also implemented a feature to prevent users from taking screenshots.

Overall, Evangelist Apps played a significant role in the planning, design, and development of the Client's Forum mobile app. The app's user-friendly interface, intuitive search feature, and secure content storage made it a hit with users. The addition of push notifications and screenshot protection added an extra layer of functionality and security to the app.

Client Requirements

KLM airlines allow the booking of tickets online and also exposes the in-flight-entertainment content available during a flight from the flight booking page. These include multimedia content like Movies onboard, Music, TV episodes etc but these are present deep inside their website and passengers don’t have an easy way to access the content available on board.

Solution By Evangelist Apps

We created an iPhone and iPad app for KLM to surface this information in a very effective way. This app includes playback of movie trailers from content delivery networks (amazon S3) using Apple’s Adaptive Bit-Rate Streaming (ABRS).

Client  Requirements

Hastens Bed is a leading brand in manufacturing luxury beds for their customers. The major challenges set forward were to manage and update their existing native iOS apps, create pre-orders, sales-orders, update payments, modify the order etc. Store users wanted to be able to search the customer along with the pre-orders and sales orders. The distribution mechanism of the app was slow and strenuous.

Solution by Evangelist Apps

All these were made possible in a matter of 3 months and we were able to satisfy the customers. We enabled the app to be distributed via 'Unlisted App Store' mode which is quite new from Apple. This allows the store users to download and update the app via the public-facing App Store while the app is not available for the general users.

Along with this came the compatibility of the iPhone application with the iPad as well.

Client Requirements

British Airways wanted to enable its customers to book their tickets using the mobile app using native UI and complete the booking in less than 3 minutes. This came as a massive challenge for the development team considering the complex ticket booking in direct/indirect flights, partner airlines, multiple airports etc.

Solution By Evangelist Apps

The development team took this challenge and came up with a very sleek UX just for this purpose. After a lot of optimisation in the backend, the iOS team incorporated the very immersive UX keeping the customers engaged in the booking process. The result came out after about 5 months when the team delivered this project and set a benchmark for the aviation industry. It has been more than 7 years, and the customers still use this journey to book flight tickets from their iOS app.
