Mobile Application Development Companies have changed the way we connect — imagine spending even one day without your phone. You’d probably feel a bit of anxiety from losing touch with your closest contacts. At least, digitalization touches every generation. Is it possible to create custom software for better relations with family? Let’s check!
The Role of Mobile Application Development Companies in Building Family Connections
As one of the trusted Mobile Application Development Companies, Stermedia was approached by Family Fabric, who provided an initial piece of the application created by an external team. Stermedia was asked to analyze its effectiveness. The results of the code review were not satisfying, so Family Fabric decided to change its former provider to Stermedia.
Consequently, Family Fabric’s goal was to create a safe and friendly ecosystem for families by improving family communication. Moreover by enabling shopping together in trusted places and providing safe content for children and parents.
I started work with Stermedia 2 years ago on another project. We’re really impressed by the quality of the developers here. At any rate, I’d recommend Stermedia to a friend or colleague because I know they are very reliable and they do very good work.

Results Delivered by a Leading App Development Firm
After consultations, decisions about technologies and platforms were made. As a result, we developed some custom software: mobile application and web service FamilyApp™.
So, the platforms contain:
- Threads – user can chat 1:1 and in groups (secured by End-to-End encryption) or share links and events
- Channels – user can share thematic articles like recipes, parenting tips, public events and signup forms pre-populated with accurate family data
- Events – user can create and share private events
- Fabric – managing family settings by changing pictures or adding and removing new family members
Project in Numbers: Inside a Top Mobile App Developer’s Workflow
In total, the project lasted for 68 months or 11 341 hours with a team of 6 people. The application is still being developed by Stermedia experts in SCRUM methodology.
Stermedia delivered high-quality software on time and within budget. We are impressed with their software development expertise as well as AWS cloud architecting and deployment and eagerness to find the right solution.
