About the Project

DARE is a well-known application for mental health tracking and panic relief used by over 1 mln people worldwide. The app allows applying unique methods and techniques from Barry McDonagh, a best-selling author of books on overcoming anxiety, regardless of the user's location, to keep calm and find harmony. DARE is a free app that offers in-app purchases to access all content based on a monthly or yearly subscription.

Product Idea

The client involved the IDAP team in auditing existing mobile applications since they delivered poor user experience and led to dozens of negative reviews. To fix weaknesses, applications for iOS and Android were developed from scratch and enriched by user-friendly design with custom UI animations. Now, the company is expanding its audience by sharing its values in Portuguese and German markets. It requires re-writing the backend from scratch to achieve unlimited scalability and deliver location-oriented applications with customized design and content.

Project Challenges
