Brainvire Streamlines the Management of ‘Tithe’ Donations for LDS Church

About Client

Latter Day Saints (LDS) is a spiritual movement started by the missionaries of Lord Jesus Christ in the year 1830. Considered to be the restoration of the original church founded by the Lord, it has over 1 million members globally. The followers pay a ‘tithe’ (10% of their income) to the Church, which is used for social causes. They approached Brainvire to develop a mobile application that can be used by followers to record their income and make the donations accordingly.

Product Idea

Brainvire’s team understood the principles behind the calculation of ‘tithe’ to initiate the development of mobile application. The app helps followers to auto record their income on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, and set reminders to contribute on time. They can also track their donations and export the records for taxation purposes. Additionally, there are backup and restore options for app users who have lost their phones or are upgrading to a new phone.

How we did it ?

Architecture Revamp

Subscription Functionality

Compatibility with Apple iPhone X

Bugs in the Trial Version

Architecture Revamp:

The application was built on an older architecture that had to be revamped as per the latest coding frameworks.

Solution:

The developers tested the application thoroughly and followed the latest architecture to ensure the smooth functioning of the app.

Subscription Functionality :

The application’s subscription functionality was quite old and had to be changed to meet the latest security requirements.

Solution:

The team added a receipt-based payment system that is transparent and secure for the end users.

Compatibility with Apple iPhone X :

Every iOS application needs to be compatible with the iPhone X as per Apple’s App Store Policies.

Solution:

The team changed the resolution of the app and also worked on the positions of navigation buttons, thus making it compatible with the iPhone X.

Bugs in the Trial Version:

If users were using the app during the Trial period, then they were not able to ascertain if the in-app buttons were enabled or disabled.

Solution:

The developers tweaked the appearance of the in-app buttons so that users could easily determine if they were enabled or disabled.
