We Started by Visualizing
Our process relies heavily on early prototyping and testing to make sure we’re developing the right product before writing even a single line of code.
The Concept
We took the same concept of the device and applied it to the layout of the app. Just by swiping left or right, the user can bring a book in focus, by tapping on the book it will open the book in full screen.
Little helper Luna
Luna is a companion that walks you through the app. She takes her job very seriously, as she helps the users in certain situations.
Onboarding Experience For Millennials
Moonlite users can enjoy the beauty of unboxing the device without any clutter. The app covers the whole onboarding process: users just have to pull the device out of the box.
The story doesn’t stop with the visuals
There are more than 150 sound effects in the app. Every story has highlighted words that admins can dynamically change through the backend.
Reading experience
We optimized the typography for reading with the well-balanced contemporary typeface, so it’s the same size as on a physical book. In the book we don’t use any decoration as its primary focus is for the parent to read and not to distract the children while looking at the projection.
Shopping experience
With Shopify integration, we enabled users to purchase new stories with few easy steps. Once they click on the story they want, they just put their credit card info, and the story wheel is on its way.

Challenges
Our biggest challenge was figuring out how to make the hardware and software work together seamlessly.
Solving problems: Making the app work cross-platform
Probably the biggest challenge was to make the app support the majority of phones on the market. This was especially challenging with Android devices. Making Moonlite’s hardware fit all the devices seemed almost impossible.
And then our team came up with a genius solution. We call it The Bullseye. It’s a system that enables almost all the devices out there to use Moonlite. Users just have to set the cursor on the device, on a marked bullseye on their smartphone, and voila - the projection can start.
QA testing
FIVE’s QA team had a lot to cover to ensure the product would work perfectly for a Holiday launch: from hardware fitting challenges and optimizing the onboarding process to UX flows and last UI touches, the app had to perform at scale.
More Than Just an App
This time we didn’t stop with just the app. We wanted to deliver our client the whole experience, extending through our custom-built CMS, backend, and website.
Content Management System
Since the app can use various stories, we provided the client to manage all the content. Build on Django; our CMS makes it easy to handle all the bits of the app, from the store content, sound effects, to story cover images more efficiently.
Website
After we designed and developed the app, we moved to the website. The goal was making it consistent. We wanted to translate the same look and feel of the app to the web. Built on Shopify, the website integrates all the needed eCommerce features out of the box, and gives new and existing users more info about every little thing about the product and the app.
Moonlite was a marvellous hardware and software adventure.
What’s next?
In the next six months we aim to fulfill the following goals for our client:
