The Haven of Rest, a Christian radio program by Paul Myers, has been broadcast across the globe since 1934, delivering listeners a message of encouragement, hope, and redemption.
Now operating under the name “Haven Today ,” the program reaches older and newer listeners alike, not just on the radio, but also through podcasts, their website, and the mobile app.
I worked with the team at Haven to build them a cross-platform mobile app for iOS and Android, replacing a previous version that had bugs and other usability issues. My responsibilities included taking designs from their in-house designer in Adobe XD and converting them into a fully functional mobile application.
The backend for the app was built on top of their existing WordPress website and used the WordPress API and a custom plugin to expose all of the data that makes the Haven app tick to the mobile app.
The app itself was built using the open-source Titanium framework. With Titanium, you’re able to build apps for both iOS and Android from a single unified codebase. This helped keep the development costs under control and made it possible to build a bespoke app from the ground up, customized for their unique demographic and business requirements.
