Whatbook
Whatbook is the IMDB equivalent for non-fiction books.
Starting in early January 2022, Whatbook contracted Hyper Pixel to design and develop a new mobile app project: positioned to focus specifically on the non-fiction book sector. After holding multiple strategic workshops and challenging marketing discussions, we identified an opportunity in the market to focus on business and popular science books
Appealing to working professionals, Whatbook aims to inform and educate its users on which business or non-fiction books are worth the time in reading. The app itself was designed with calm soothing pastle tones and plenty of white space. The development over a 8 week period resulted in an app whereby users can view curated bookshelves, add books to reading lists, and follow social influencers to see what books they are reading.
TapDat Dating
TapDat is a liberal open minded dating app, designed from the ground up. Launched in 2020 the app now has tens of thousands of users and is now self funding.
The concept behind TapDat is to allow open minded strangers to meet for casual fun without commitments. When Hyper Pixel tackled this project, we had to ensure the brand positioning was strong so that the app didn't come across negatively or seedy.
By working with charities in the industry, as well as influencers and well being groups, the end result was an app that attracted over 50,000 users and self-generates revnue through in-app purchases and subscriptions.
Ryze
Ryze is a spin-off company from the University of East Anglia, Norwich.
With its aim of being the go-to source for high quality business school educational content, this EdTech project was designed from the ground up by Hyper Pixel, including the student facing user app; the back end editor content portal and business facing promotional website.
The Ryze project symbolised the effects of Covid-19 on the education system: whereby students relied more heavily on digital resources than ever before. The app was built with this in mind, and contains a suite of features to help students maximise their time in the app including the abilty to write notes, save lessons for future reference, and interactive quizes for testing your knowledge.

Mobile apps are small pieces of software that solve a problem or maximise an opportunity. What makes apps great solutions compared with web tools is when you require a seamless user expereince or data provided by the mobile handset. For example, if you app requires regular and accurate GPS coordinates, or push notifications, or needs to persist a user login for expereince reasons, then a mobile app is a great choice.
As specialists in our field, we will work with you to investigate the right solution for your problem before recommending if an app is right for your business. If it turns out that it isn't, we'll then recommend an alternative solution and advise if this is soemthing we can assist you with.
Mobile apps typically pull data from a database located somewhere in the 'cloud'. The database is where all of your user and project data will be stored. Typically, clients need to add, edit and update the data stored in the database and as a result require either a web-app or mobile app to manage this. When scoping out your project, we'll look into the need for you to edit your database and will recommend how this is best done. As part of the project fee, we may also develop a content management system unlocking these features to your business.
It is important to note that apps are a long term investment and will require continual maintenance, servicing and updates over time - much like a car. In order to maintain a high level of user engagement and to appease the App Stores with compatibility updates, we recommend that your app is regularly updated with new features and security fixes.
When scoping out your project, Hyper Pixel will recommend a project roadmap and release schedule that provides regular releases, stability updates and bug fixes throughout the year; in turn keeping your user base happy and maximising engagement rates.
Hyper Pixel is at the forefront of application design and development. By utilising the latest technology from Google, we are able to write a single code base in a framework called Flutter, that can then ultimately run apps on multiple platforms such as iOS, Android, the web, Windows and Mac.
As specialists in mobile application development, we are able to deliver high quality, funactional experiences that solve your problem or oppotunity; and deliver the results on almost any operating system.
For businesses and individuals who have a great app idea but limited financial budgets at your disposal, we recommend speaking with your local startup financing firm or local small business funding programme. Surprisingly, if your app and business proposition are strong, there are many investors and seed funding programmes out there that can secure the funds you need to launch your app based project.
Our app projects are designed from the ground up to work on Apple's iOS and Google's Android operating systems: giving you the widest possible reach on as many possible supported devices and handsets.
We optimise each app to make use of each platforms intrinsic user interface components: from the location of where the back button should be placed, to how gestures should be used.
By helping clients create their new mobile app, we have allowed them to launch their new business; offer new products and even boost revenue channels.
