Kidster is a suite of apps designed primarily for 3 to 6 year olds. Kids can have adventures learning English, unleash their creativity with interactive coloring books and keep entertained with fun and educational videos localized for their language, country and market. Each app was developed cross-platform for iOS and Android.
The primary challenges were creating user interfaces that could be easily navigated by pre-readers and designing environments and activities that would engage and delight kids yet still be seen as having real educational value by parents. The business requirements specified that the apps follow a subscription model. When dealing with Apple especially, this sets a very high bar for achieving approval since these apps are not traditional subscription types (periodicals, life-style apps, business services, etc) and are marketed to children. In order to successfully navigate the approval process, I worked directly with Apple's app store team.
