University of Wrocław mobile app
Higher education for students from abroad in Wrocław made easier.
The University of Wrocław is one of the oldest universities in Poland. With its years of experience, interesting courses, and professional staff, the university attracts numerous students from abroad. That is why we were asked to build a mobile application that would help foreign students get the most useful and essential information in one place. One of the crucial pieces of information was The Jungle Book, which we had in paperback. Our goal was to digitize it in the most suitable way for young generations.
The app was developed for Android and iOS operating systems using the Flutter framework. UI and UX design were crucial in this project to organize the data in a user-friendly way. It needed to be as easy to understand as possible for all of the students coming to study at Wrocław from all over the world.
The application is now published on both the Apple Store and the Google Play Store, and the first users have already downloaded it.

Movie streaming platform
A streaming platform with inclusive movies about LGBTQ culture
Our goal was to develop a streaming platform that showcases inclusive movies about LGBT culture. This platform aims to provide a safe space for people, regardless of their orientation, gender, or beliefs, so they can live in harmony with each other and pursue their dreams without struggling with prejudices. It shows movies with characters whose stories can be an inspiration. Often these stories are about ordinary people with typical dreams. And even when something bad happens to them, they can love and be happy as they are.
When we started to choose the technology, Vue.js was chosen rather quickly. First, Vue.js is our specialization at Applover and we feel confident when it comes to this technology. Moreover, it is one of the fastest frameworks which makes it the best idea considering TVs with weak processors. In addition, it is very flexible and easy to develop, which makes it well suited for this type of project. Hence, Vuetify as one of the most advanced UI libraries for Vue was a natural choice.

Marketplace vendor platform
A platform for marketplace owners.
Our client was looking for a trusted IT partner that could develop a platform for marketplace owners. The main purpose was to have one place where vendors could see all the sales data of customers – which goods sell the best, which warehouses need more things to send, and which ones have a full inventory. It was supposed to be simple to use, as vendors from all around the world should be able to easily browse it. After establishing the project’s shared vision, our team was entrusted with the task of designing and developing a platform.
We looked carefully into these needs and managed to deliver the expected technological solutions. The technology we used was Vue.js for front-end development and Ruby on Rails for the back-end side. The client was highly satisfied with how carefully we listened to their needs and suggestions.

Web app for the banking institution
Web application for exchanging internal documents and visuals.
One of our clients was a banking institution in Poland. They hired us to provide them with a safe and reliable web application that will allow them to exchange documents and graphics for internal use. The platform’s main goal is to enable the commissioning of multimedia works to authorized users. Moreover, the client wanted to conduct a clear process and supervise the course of creating these works through the web application. The most important functions of the platform include:
- Create, preview and edit a project
- Track the history of project changes
- Archive completed projects
- Download report with the project details
- Submit specific applications
- Manage permissions of individual users
- Chat
- User notifications
- Upload files in various formats.
To develop a functional web app we used Vue for front-end and Ruby on Rails for back-end development. The provided solution facilitates the work and collaboration between teams.

Digital Product Agency – Team Rental
Extending digital agency team with our mobile developers.
Our client is one of the largest digital product agencies in the United Kingdom with over 12 years of experience in mobile application development for global brands. They hired us for development services for two different mobile applications projects, which mostly consisted of iOS and Android tech stacks.
Although there were many technological aspects as our developers worked on various projects for the agency, we want to focus on our cooperation on this occasion, as this is the biggest fear when it comes to outsourcing. Our experience allows us to say that the tech stack can be adjusted, technological solutions can be tough but there is nothing that would not be possible if you have the right team. And when it comes to the people who are going to be working on the project, it is essential to make them your priority.
We eagerly exchange knowledge by holding joint workshops for departments not related to IT development. The digital product agency saved around 20% of their budget on IT staff as they did not have to employ the team internally, and we were able to expand their team on demand, whenever it was needed.

Digital Transportation System
Public transport made more accessible and easier.
Our intention was to digitalize information for passengers of public transport. The main purpose has been put to make it available and easy to use in practice.
The application was developed using Vue.js 3.0 and TypeScript. These technologies allow us to easily scale the product and connect with the server easily every second without decreasing the app’s performance. The application was created in the same way as web applications are created based on JavaScript. Except here we had one fixed screen size (no RWD) and no user interaction.
The product was developed before the deadline which made the client’s team really satisfied with our work. After just a few small adjustments the application was ready for users. What was most appreciated by our client? The animations created by us, made the app look even more modern and user-friendly.

Prismade Mobile Demo App
Developing highly interactive technologies, inks and materials that will merge print products with digital experiences.
Our team has started cooperation with workshops, so we could establish the needs of Prismade properly and assess all the necessary tasks. Later on, when needed we communicated on Slack and consulted the most important aspects of the project.
Moreover, our project manager, Piotr made sure that every aspect of the product is agreed with the technology as well as the client’s needs.
Our skilled crew released the product with success and within the determined deadline. It took us 180 hours and we were satisfied with the result. What’s most important, the client was too! Prismade could promote its smart printing solution with their new demo application.

Steppie Mobile App
Insurance policy app that rewards users for healthy behaviors such as walking, running, and cycling.
The new application uses a combination of technology and science to benefit both parties (Insurer and Customer) and it is the greatest uniqueness of Steppie’s solution.
The customer gets an insurance policy together with a smart device such as a smartwatch or a mobile app, which allows them to feel the value of the service they have every day. Thanks to this, the customer receives not only a guarantee of protection in the event of damage but the 24/7 protection and self-care. Moreover, thanks to health recommendations and monitoring parameters every day, the insurer takes part in improving the client’s health with the use of gamification elements and rewards. A positive change in lifestyle contributes to the reduction of the probability of civilization diseases, which in terms of the insurer’s long-term business model reduces the costs of insurance activities.

The Ticketing Co mobile app
The Ticketing Co is an all purpose platform for ticketing solutions.
The company of The Ticketing Co was founded in 2006. A platform, which they have created, allows fans of various artistic activities to buy tickets for numerous events such as concerts, festivals or club parties across the United States.
A thorough analysis of the client's needs and ideas was required due to the extensiveness of the project. A series of calls and meetings took place and overall, together we managed to reach a compromise. As soon as The Ticketing Co had approved the colors and mockups of individual screens presented by our UX/UI specialists, we started the development process. We kept on being in touch with the client regularly, solving technical problems, which occurred more frequently during the data transfer to the newly created platform from the previous one. Data included information such as the list of events, registered users, sales data, etc.
The newly created Web platform was written in Vue.js and it is supported by a back-end platform programmed in Node.js. The mobile application was programmed respectively with reliable Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS.

Czysta3.vc website
Venture capital fund that raised millions for various startups and helps businesses scale up.
Czysta3.vc wanted to create a unique website for their niche which could stand out but also present their core values and strategy. They have invested in various companies, including ours. That is why we were happy that they trust us enough to allow us to develop their new website. It was a great opportunity to work with Czysta3.vc in different scope so they could see how we operate with our clients and get a beautiful and functional website from us.
To develop the website we created our own custom theme for WordPress. We used WordPress as CMS because it’s widely known and a very popular feature, so everyone can easily manage the content on the website, including texts, portfolio, contact details, and SEO-related content.
As every WordPress theme, it is developed with PHP, HTML and JS, but this time we used SCSS connection and BEM methodology. We use this combination for most of our front-end projects as it allows us to achieve higher readability and makes the maintenance easier.
Moreover, we optimized every video in terms of page performance and it’s page speed, which is so crucial especially for mobile versions. Our UX/UI designer took care of the emotional and visual design. Choosing blue, grey and black was the best choice as it’s consistent with the brand’s identity and symbolizes trust, elegance as well as high quality. These colors together we found to be a perfect match for a venture capital website.

KBSR mobile app
Modern law and notary services at the highest level.
Not many things are as restricted as law services. To make their clients’ lives easier the KBSR law firm, the 2nd biggest law & notary firm in Poland, decided to develop a mobile application. It’s goal is to improve the process of arranging notarial deeds, scheduling appointments and reminders for users. The app is integrated with the calendars of all the employees of the law firm. It allows the user to get to know the KBSR’s offer, what different notary processes look like, what documents are needed for particular situations, read the needed regulations and information.
The app helps you get in touch with over 65 employees, lawyers, and notaries, and what’s most important – schedule a meeting with every person in the firm. This is a huge improvement for the firm as it saves time and money!

Signium web app
HR services, Top Management Executive Search assignments for C-level and upper management positions in the CEE region.
The web application was created for internal use, and the end-user has many of the available functions, easily accessible on just a few clicks. We used a limited number of colors while designing the interface so that the product itself helps and doesn’t distract while working. We provided Signium with full technical specifications which will allow us in the future to analyze the application and develop it further.
Signium has always been taking care of GDPR compliance, but the new system ensures data security and more effective tracking of consents to the processing of personal data. Now they can conduct searches at top executive and upper management levels even faster!

Amino app
Training made simple. Book your personal trainer anywhere anytime.
Despite the distance between us, the whole communication process with the client went so smoothly that after the delivery of the iOS app we had been asked to continue the collaboration. So, consequently, we designed the Android version of the app, fully reaching Amino’s business assumption. Now everyone, no matter if they are an iOS or Android user, can easily book their personal trainer. No excuses.
However, our relationship with Amino did not end there. We worked also on more recent improvements. We modified and simplified some structural and aesthetic details to make the app even easier to use than before. Together with the client, aiming for the best user experience possible, we created Amino’s currency system. We also upgraded the booking process and payment systems management.
The app had been enriched with the Fitness Consultation service, thanks to which the customer may discuss his training plan with a qualified personal trainer.
To develop the back-end and the administration panel of the application we chose the Ruby on Rails framework. It is worth mentioning that our highly skilled developers had to overcome some obstacles; the biggest was connection and integration with the payment systems operating in Dubai.
Our UX designer took care also of the emotional and visual design, choosing black as the dominant color to symbolize power and elegance as well as high quality; and orange as the accent color to emphasize positive energy and determination. These two colors together are the perfect match for a fitness-related application.
Despite some unexpected difficulties, we kept to the deadlines and released the two apps within the scheduled time!

Foodsi app
How to create a new trend and help the world by contributing to decreasing food waste.
Despite the fact that the cooperation with Foodsi was purely being processed remotely, we managed to successfully get the application through the development process. Despite difficulties with the Android app’s compatibility, thanks to our skilled crew, both apps were successfully published in application stores within the determined deadlines.
Foodsi started its activity on April 1, 2019, cooperating with only three restaurants in Warsaw. Currently, they have established collaboration with more than 150 restaurants all over Poland including Warsaw, Katowice, Wrocław, Poznań and Gdańsk and their number keeps on growing. We hope Foodsi enjoys the taste of success for as long as possible!

Mobile applications have been successfully published in shops and the number of its users is gradually growing.

It is also possible to compare the costs of tests in different establishments. The results of the examination are safely stored in the LabPlus database; the application requires the introduction of a security code every time it gets open.
The product has been appreciated not only by application users but also by the National Centre for Research and Development. This is how LabPlus received funding for its further development. And this is a healthy way to be!

Due to the structure of the company and the division of roles of people working in it, the project actually consisted of two parallel and connected digital products. One of them is a desktop application. Its users are mainly shippers/logisticians planning the daily work of the entire fleet. Their duties include contact with the customer, contact with drivers, order handling, route planning, control of the efficient execution of orders and many more. Modules for accounting and BDO service have also been added to the application, thanks to which, apart from shippers, it can also be used by other employees.
The second project is a mobile application aimed at the company's drivers. The application is a kind of link between drivers and shippers. This means that in the application, the driver can find all the courses, in other words, the tasks to be completed on a given day. In addition to the tasks, all the data and information needed for their implementation are also included. The application also implements navigation to facilitate travel and minimize the need to switch between applications.

They will also have a one-stop-shop for managing their game, after all, that is what a Cadi is there for.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
The project was divided into the development of mobile and web applications.
The mobile app is for use by club members and is the recipient of what was created by the club owner in the web part. Mobile users can:
- have access to the dashboard with the most important information
- see what teachers are available in the club and they can send a lesson request to selected teachers
- have access to the news feed - replenish the equipment and goals
- have access to offers from the club and can submit their interest in a given offer
- create an equipment wishlist
- check the status of the golf course (the one that is set on the web by the manager).
The web app serves as a system for managing the entire golf club. The users of the app are to be managers or owners of these clubs. They can, inter alia:
- accept/reject requests from mobile users (club members) to be added to the club
- create offers for users that will appear in the mobile application
- set the status of the golf course, i.e. what conditions prevail (rain, dry, wet, you can drive carts, etc.)
- add golf teachers in the club and manage requests for lessons from mobile users - create posts and news feed (news and articles about the life of the golf club)
- create a list of e-commerces recommended by the club.

Our general feeling is that we wouldn't have been able to launch the apps as fast by working with someone else. Applover proved to be a hands-on agency, and handled a lot of the product work on our behalf, doing what was needed in order to launch the apps.
They did a great job of launching the app within our timeframe, even though the scope proved much bigger than initially thought. Applications look and function even better than we expected. We’re highly satisfied with the outcome.

We worked remotely and the Applover team managed to do everything that was expected from them through online consultations, calls, emails, Slack messages. The Project Manager was highly communicative, engaged, and professional.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The main reason for choosing Applover was that the team acted like more than an outsourcing agency, which would simply build our app and forget about it. Applover became a part of our team and made a lot of effort in order to gain an understanding of how things worked.
Moreover, they recommended many things which we wouldn't have otherwise done, which was valuable. The team delivered the functional products within the deadline which was highly important to us.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Our cooperation went smoothly. The applications were delivered within the deadline and at the estimated cost. The team was communicative, and we were always informed of what they’re working on at every stage of the project.
