Slow video loading disrupted users’ exercise routines, and the app lacked essential features such as account authentication and user feedback. With no Android version available, the company also had limited access to potential users.
Solution
Optimized Video Loading
A Toptal developer redesigned video preloading and Mux authentication processes, loading only the videos needed for each exercise routine and preparing subsequent content in the background.
Expanded Mobile Functionality
Using Expo, TypeScript, and Firebase, the developer added account authentication, database functionality, and user feedback features, then built and published an Android version.
Outcome
Dramatically Faster Performance
Average exercise routine loading times dropped from 3.8 seconds to 0.4 seconds, an improvement of nearly 90%, allowing users to access content much faster.
Broader Platform Accessibility
The Android launch expanded the app’s potential audience, while new authentication and database features supported subscription management, user feedback, and targeted email communications.
