We started with an MVP
Before releasing a full-scale app with extensive functionality, we decided to start with a minimum viable product to test the water and understand the target audience’s demand. The product manager together with the team scrutinized all the functionality we planned for the first release. We reduced the number of levels from 25 to 5 (now the app has 10). Also, we removed points earning and simplified the user profile.
Bonus system
Despite the minimum functionality, we still implemented an admin panel so further updating will be smooth and natural. The MVP helped us collect the necessary feedback from the audience. Based on what they said, we planned new features and improvements for TraveTrivia.
Challenges and Solutions
SMS authentication
Problem:
We used Twilio SMS authentication for TravelTrivia, but it didn’t work with some phone numbers. It was related mostly to local mobile providers, but such a situation could happen in any other country with any other phone number.
Solution:
Out team implemented Sign in with Apple to avoid the issue with SMSs, but then, in order to facilitate the TravelTrivia usage, we removed authentication at all.
Results
TravelTrivia is available in App Store for free. Users can buy lives and hints or activate the monthly subscription.
