Sing Kinderlieder – Children’s Video and Song App
Sing Kinderlieder is a mobile app that offers children a library of videos and songs through iOS and Android platforms. The project integrated development teams from Germany and India, coordinating builds from Hamburg and Kolkata to ensure smooth deployment. The app includes parental controls, teaser content, and subscription plans designed for families. This coordinated development approach delivered significant cost savings while successfully launching the platform.
The Task
Sing Kinderlieder is an iOS/Android app offering an archive of children’s videos and songs.
- Integrate German and Indian software development teams from Sydney.
- Manage and synchronize the Android build from Kolkata which lagged the iOS build from Hamburg.
The Build
Native iOS and Android apps were built.
In summary:
-
- The app allowed children to view videos and listen to accompanying songs.
- The app has a parental locking system so that children can view videos and listen to songs, without disrupting the overall functionality of the parent’s mobile device.
- Teaser videos/songs (free for a limited time) are made available for creating playlists encouraging parents to subscribe to three different monthly plans.
The Results
The integration of the German and Indian teams was a success resulting in a significant cost savings due to the ‘stepped’ (lagging) software deployment timetables.
