JibJab Mobile Application Development

JibJab is a messaging app with images, GIFs and video sharing functionality and super intuitive design.

Description

 Client: JibJab is a digital media company with a goal to make funny pictures, GIFs and videos worth sharing online.

 Challenge: Re-create JibJab’s functionality and intuitive design in the Mobile app. The challenge was in enabling users to seamlessly create funny content on their smartphones and share it with their friends and family. Converting using from web to mobile was JibJab’s primary goal and to achieve high mobile app downloads and good retention rates for iOS and Android. The last big chunk of work we had to do was in rewriting the renderer because in the current implementation there was a problem of video and mask mismatch.

Solution: The work was practically completed and successful. Initially, it was not possible to obtain the value of the frame rate of the video from the video file adequately on all types of devices. We redesigned a native app and redeveloped its core functionality we strived to boost the core brand experience. We added the following features to the app:
  • Easily connect the app with all major social media or email
  • Instant selfie snap to use in funny GIFs and videos
  • Straightforward access to the pictures of your friend’s faces to easily create animation
  • Provide proper levels of synchronization when creating new animations
  • One-click sharing of JibJab app with friends to install on their mobile devices, and more.
By updating their product, we were able to push the company’s public image and the app was written about in USA Today and TechCruch. The more important thing is that the app has an average 4.5-star rating on App Store and Play Market with 3500+ reviews on each.
