How did we create the entire app based only on the client's idea?
About Hooray
Hooray! Party & Event Planner is an app that assists you in organizing events. It is the only app on the market that includes both options for planning and inviting guests. You can send digital invitations, track RSVPs, and customize budgets and ToDos. Guests are always updated on the announcements board, and they can upload pictures in a shared digital gallery.
Hooray team came to us with an idea to connect the host with his guests to share the party euphoria. Their main problem was not having a clear vision of features that should be implemented, and how to provide the best user experience. A big concern was also data security since the communication method between Hosts and Guests was based on a phone number.

Project Challenges
Hooray team came to us with an idea to connect the host with his guests so they can share the party euphoria.
No clear vision
The client couldn't decide on the features that should be implemented, and how to provide the best user experience.
Data security
A big concern was also data security since the communication method between Hosts and Guests was based on a phone number.
UI/UX design
They were not satisfied with the existing UI/UX design so our designers took over and changed everything from scratch.
Our Solutions
By promptly addressing client issues and engaging in team discussions, we managed to overcome the previously mentioned challenges and deliver the MVP version in just 1 month!
No clear vision
We came up with feature ideas based on the market research, user behavior, and pain points. The client found our expertise with similar apps valuable, so we took responsibility of creating the whole app concept and simplified the process for them.
Data security
Using secure protocols like HTTPS, all communication between the app and the server was encrypted. That way we were sure that sensitive information, including phone numbers, was not hijacked or manipulated.
UI/UX design
The previous design was too plain and not engaging enough for party planning app. Our team of UI/UX designers decided to go with a cheerful and colorful design that will naturally bring excitement about the celebration and inspire users to invite friends through the app.
What technologies did we use?
The developer team decided to go with the Native approach. A large part of the application lies in UX and complex design, and to achieve optimal performance and goals, they chose a native approach. They made native Android and iOS apps, that communicated via a shared backend server.
The Android app is developed using classic Android development with XML and Kotlin, and for iOS, SwiftUI and UIKit.
Results
Starting from strategy, through UI/UX design, all the way to development, we created the entire app based only on the client's idea.
“When we approached Aetherius Solutions, we only had an app idea and didn’t even have the time to think about details and features. We needed someone to come up with more suggestions based on the user’s behavior and needs. The team behind our app put in a great deal of time and effort not only to conceptualize the entire idea but also to develop the app from scratch.”
