For consumers and businesses alike, the COVID pandemic led to an increased demand for clean environments. To support the need for seamless technology, a leading air purification device company sought the expertise of About Objects. The company needed a partner to rewrite their native iOS and Android apps to make it simple for users to connect to their latest IoT air purifiers.

Creating seamless connectivity
Our team began by improving initial setup workflows for the company’s lineup of air purifiers. We also improved code quality for its existing flagship device and mobile apps, which led to significant improvements in connectivity and usability. Along the way, we modularized the code base to support all the company’s air filter form factors, which utilize different hardware configurations (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) with a variety of firmware versions.
