The challenge

In 2018, we collaborated with Storyball, a visionary venture that sought to transform playtime for children. Their innovative smart Storyball, equipped with customizable skins, evolved into an engaging companion, helping kids learn, play, and exercise in a delightful and educational way.

At the onset of our partnership, the Android application was already underway, and our mission was to grow the product and extend its reach to iOS devices.

The solution

In close collaboration with Storyball, in just a few months, we successfully created a seamless iOS application that effortlessly interfaces with the Storyball toy via Bluetooth. 

This Bluetooth connection facilitates easy content sharing through the app, ensuring that this smart toy remains user-friendly for parents, whether they are online or offline, and it also allows for efficient organization and tracking of children's activities, adding an extra layer of convenience and peace of mind.

The intricate game logic implementation and the RESTful API integration were carried out by Storyball's CTO, Giora Vered.
