01 · Business context

The problem

StudentNews.pl had exam tests only on its website, while more and more students prepared for exams on their phones.

The company decided to move into mobile with an app that has official exam questions, study tools and offline access, so students can revise anywhere.

The client

Grupa StudentNews.pl

The company behind StudentNews.pl, a Polish portal for students with information about universities, majors and the matura, plus exam tests and study materials. Matura was our first project together; the second was Egzamin Ósmoklasisty, for students finishing primary school.

02 · Key features

What we built

A React Native app for iOS and Android, with a Node.js backend. These are its most important features.

  • Official exam questions

    The app uses official matura questions from the Central Examination Board (CKE) in many subjects, filed by subject and question type.

  • Offline mode

    Tests are downloaded to the phone, so students can keep revising without an internet connection.

  • Exam toolkit

    Notes for each task, a calculator and tables of common formulas, built to work on any screen size.

  • Progress tracking

    Each student's progress is saved and synced with the server.

We actually felt like a bunch of friends — they were creating our product like their own.
