About

Project Idea

Since audiobooks are becoming more and more popular among readers, we decided to create a simple and intuitive library of audio fairy tales for children. During the development process, we realized that the app can also be used by adults who want to learn English from scratch.

Challenges and Solutions

Here are the challenges our team faced while developing Fairy.

Subtitles synchronization

Problem:

The main challenge we faced was synchronized subtitles. We started working with the SRT files in SubRip format. SubRip is a utility that turns subtitles from audio or video to text format. We should figure out how to work with subtitles and who can perform this task.

Solution:

Our team decided not to hire a third-party specialist since it would cost more than delegating this task to an in-house engineer. Thus, our Android developer wrote most of the SRT files for audio fairy tales.

Monetization

Problem:

Even though the app had high ratings and positive feedback after the release, the number of conversions and in-app purchases during the trial period were staying low.

Solution:

We conducted a little study and figured out that most users are making a conversion at the onboarding stage. The team made an onboarding with some app info and a “subscribe” button. We also offered a trial period and discounts and as a result, the conversion rate increased.

Results

The app now receives positive feedback. We hear stories about children asking their parents to turn on the app before going to sleep.
