Turning Quantum Complexity into a Simple, Seamless Experience

Eigensystems needed a reliable, simple, and secure mobile experience to help users:

• Connect their Quokka Puck or collectible device to a local Wi-Fi network.
• Manage device accessibility—whether local network only or remotely via the internet.
• Do all of this with zero data sharing and zero data collection, ensuring user privacy and trust

Because the app supports educational environments—and connects to a novel hardware emulator—usability, stability, and clarity were critical. The app also needed to align with forward-looking hardware updates and platform expansion (e.g., iOS support soon)

‍

We delivered a polished mobile solution through a comprehensive, agile-led delivery lifecycle:

1. Discovery & Product Strategy
   • Collaborated with Eigensystems to understand onboarding workflows, hardware connectivity, and branding expectations.
   • Defined clear goals: quick Wi-Fi setup, secure device access control, and privacy by default.
2. UX/UI Design
   • Created an intuitive interface with step-by-step guidance—perfect even for non-technical users in education.
   • Designed to feel like pairing a smart device, reinforcing Quokka's approachable, playful brand identity
3. Mobile App Development
   • Built the app for Android (initially), with a lean, maintainable codebase.
   • Implemented features such as:
     • Wi-Fi network discovery and selection.
     • Connectivity setup for local vs. internet access.
     • Secure device management flows.
   • Ensured future-proofing for iOS adaptation
4. Privacy & Security by Design
   • No data collection or sharing was implemented—aligned with Quokka’s privacy-first ethos
   • This reinforced trust for educational institutions and early adopters.
5. QA & Testing
   • Conducted usability testing with real users setting up devices in classroom-like scenarios.
   • Validated Wi-Fi onboarding reliability, accessibility toggles, and onboarding flows under varied conditions.
6. Launch & Production Support
   • Successfully launched the Android app in Google Play (initial release on Sept 3–4, 2024) with minimal friction
   • Provided ongoing support for bug fixes, user feedback, and incremental improvements.
   • Facilitated roadmap planning for upcoming iOS version.
