The Track Holodomor History app will guide you through the capital of Ukraine of the 1930s and reveal the unknown history of that time.
The application was developed for the Holodomor Museum – and that’s a great example of how mobile technologies can enrich visitor impressions or even completely change them.
This application goes even further as it creates interactive spots and routes around the city, providing a unique out-of-the-museum experience.
Challenge
Usually, mobile applications are used to improve the in-museum experience using QR-code scanners, AR technologies, etc. Yet, the team of the Holodomor Museum in Kyiv decided to rethink the concept of museum mobile apps and create digital expositions all over Kyiv.
From a technical perspective, the app heavily relies on geolocation features. For example, the implementation of pre-built routes required Google Maps integration. Also, it was necessary to introduce the hidden content, that would appear only within 400 meters from the location.
Strict deadlines were another challenge. As all the promotional activities have been planned on a specific date, the app couldn’t be released even a day longer.
Process
Since the Track Holodomor History application development was requested by the museum, they had no In-House Team to support the process.
Thus, we assembled a Full-Stack Team on our side to meet the tight deadline – a Project Manager, a UI/UX Designer, an App Developer, a BackEnd Developer, a QA Engineer, and a CTO who supervised the process.
Eventually, we managed to deliver the Product before the deadline:
Pre-Project - 4 Weeks
Agile Development - 13 Weeks
Release - 2 Weeks
Solution
Finally, our Team delivered a cross-platform mobile application with a clean design. It was important to keep it minimalistic so it contributes to the aim of the app and not distracts.
To ensure the native feel and look while keeping up with tight deadlines, we used the React Native framework. Moreover, it allowed us to achieve outstanding performance when it came to Google Maps integration. Thus, the in-app map smoothly works on both iOS and Android devices.
Since the museum team had no technical expertise on their side, we set up all the processes for them. This included all the stages from UX Design to Agile Development and Release.
Finally, we hand over the finished product to the museum team. Now they can easily add or edit content with no participation from our side.

Head of Cloud Infrastructure @ Atlante
"We originally got in touch with Stormotion from our original app developer. And very soon we found real value in choosing Stormotion, because they previously had real valuable experience on the field – digital apps working in the realm of EV charging. So, it was really a no-brainer for us to to go with them."

"If you're thinking of going to Stormotion, you're going to have a very easy team to talk to, to communicate with, to understand what you want to do.

Case studyPietro Saccomani
Founder @ MobiLoud
"The Stormotion team quickly became our team for everything Native app-related. It would be hard to name all the things that we built over the many years we worked together, but overall, I think we had a good partner who was able to adapt the way we worked, and the way they worked. So that we could ultimately build a product that had the quality that we wanted and with the speed that we wanted."
Case studyMax Sheidlock
Product Manager @ Userlutions
"Given a tough budget and a lack of knowledge in our own engineering team, we quickly came to Stormotion. We had already worked together on previous projects, and I knew that, based on React Native, we could have one engineer responsible for it. That was just amazing because I could really focus on our customer side, knowing that the mobile application for the testers was in very good hands."

Head of Engineering @ Vermietet.de (ImmoScout24)
"Trust Stormotion. Work with them on your road map, on your technical debt. Also, expect feedback because the team is eager to do this. It's what I value and, I think, many startups value."
Case studyTino Marx
CTO @ CheckMyBus
"I highly recommend Stormotion as a service provider for app development. They're young, flexible, dynamic, creative and very fast. The cost of planning and implementation is also reasonable. As they use "pay as you go", have a good plan first – then the result also will be satisfactory."
