How did we reach 1000+ users in the first 2 days after the app release?
About Dopalearn
Dopalearn offers a new learning method for children by combining it with entertainment. The training is done by periodically interrupting the ads with nano-lessons in the form of popups. Parents can find and assign lessons before handing the device over to the child.
The Android app had 1000+ downloads in the first 2 days once it went live. Let’s go through the whole process together and see the challenges faced.

Project Challenges
The client approached us via LinkedIn, expressing interest in our services and potential collaboration.
User experience
Users needed help navigating to select a lesson, which led to the conclusion that the UX could be better.
Android from scratch
We were in a hurry to develop an Android app that would perform identically to the iOS app, which was in development for a longer time.
Stability and scalability
The existing iOS app experienced performance issues and required additional optimization to improve the app's stability.
Our Solutions
Through regular update meetings with the client, we prioritized tasks so they could get what they wanted as soon as possible.
User experience
We changed the previous lesson selection path, and instead of configuring everything first and losing a lot of time, we realized that step needed to be revised and simplified by taking the user directly to the desired screen.
Android from scratch
We used our proven and scalable approach in all our Android apps - Clean architecture + Compose. That resulted in building an Android app with all the same features and UX as iOS, in just 3 months!
Stability and scalability
Unnecessary screen re-rendering was immediately addressed. We improved the separation of the views to not re-render the whole view hierarchy and optimized the video’s fetching from Firebase to load videos only when they are displayed in the iOS app.
Technologies we used
On the iOS side, the app was already written using modularized architecture and SwiftUI, so the main concern we had to address was the performance and scalability of the existing solution.
We opted for a reliable and scalable approach for our Android development, using Clean architecture along with Compose.
Results
Dopalearn managed to reach new markets with an Android app and achieve set goals.
