2. HYBRID MOBILE APPS
VIRGINIA EDUCATION WIZSeArviRceDs Partial Client List
Google Play (http://bit.ly/1kA2y4C), App Store (http://bit.ly/1dNhbZf)
Goal:
To build a mobile app companion to the web-based Virginia Education
Wizard, which provides students, parents and educators information
about college admissions requirements, popular careers based on
location and cost calculations between Virginia-based schools.
Strategy:
Utilizing PhoneGap, hD created a hybrid mobile app to work across
operating systems and devices. Accessing information through a
previously created API, hD worked with the Virginia Community College
System (VCCS) to determine the most accessed portions of the Wizard
system. These discussions influenced the design and UX of the app,
allowing users to quickly and seamless access information, without
going through a detailed registration process.
Results:
5 star ratings in Android and iOS app stores.

Goal:
To build a mobile app that is a one-stop shop for all of
Rutgers Athletics events.
Strategy:
The apps were designed to function in a magazine-format.
Most current news item is one the cover of the
app. Right after the user “flips” open the cover, they are
able to access all areas of the app. Live-stream footage
of events and news, as well as archived video, can be
viewed in a fullscreen mode and also on a large screen via
Apple TV integration.
All team-related information, schedules, bios, player stats,
etc., are right at a fan’s fingertips.
Results:
4+ star rating for apps on Apple’s App Store.

Goal:
To build a mobile app to elevate Hilldrup above its
competition, particularly in the B2B space, while solving
the issue of creating an app with longevity for a one-time
event.
Strategy:
hD conceptualized the app as an organizational tool.
Users of the app can track contents of individual boxes,
as well as track their boxes during the move itself. The
app allows users to create QR codes to stick to boxes,
letting them view the contents of any of their boxes
without having to open and unwrap every piece.
Results:
4+ star rating for apps on Apple’s App Store.
