Relationship Stress App (One Plus One)

One Plus One, an app that helps people to build, maintain, and strengthen meaningful relationships in their life.

OnePlusOne is a company that helps people to build, maintain, and strengthen meaningful relationships in their life. They approached us as they were looking to create an application that demonstrated the potential of their product to gain more conversions. The idea for the app was to develop concept interactions for activities to determine what makes an individual stressed.

They already had a clear idea of what they wanted and even had designs for how the activity would look and function. They needed us to build their vision, creating an interactive version of their design to provide a clear concept they could present to the rest of their company as a working prototype.

Inside the OnePlusOne prototype

One stress activity, built as an interactive proof of concept across three screens.

Demonstrate Product Potential

Unlike other projects we've worked on, the app we were building for OnePlusOne was never meant to be fully developed. Instead, we were making an advanced prototype as a proof of concept. They wanted to see if their idea worked before they invested more time and money into its creation. So, the application we built had to demonstrate their product whilst leaving room for possible future development.

Interactive Activity Functions

The application was comprised of one activity that was designed to help people understand their stress. So we created an activity home screen that's clear, simple, and easy to navigate. We incorporated a concise description of how the activity works and helps users on the home screen. There's also a clear start button to lead users straight into the activity.

Screen One

On screen one of the activity, users are meant to choose from a selection of items. The easiest way to do this that maintained interest for users was to have them drag 1-6 items into a specified box. It's simple but interactive and more engaging than ticking boxes. Once they've finished, there's a clear button to press that will lead them to a results screen.

Screen Two

On screen two, the company wanted a stress comparison activity. The solution was to have users choose three words or images that describe how they experience stress or become stressed. They can then do the same for their partner. They'll then see a comparison of results to give them more information about their stress responses.

Screen Three

The third screen incorporates a slider function. Along the slider are five points, each describing how well you and your partner get along. The user can easily move the point along the slider to select the correct option before seeing a results screen.

Simple Yet Effective With React

The app we made focused on keeping the activities simple so that a wide range of people with different levels of digital skills can engage with them. However, we used a variety of different formats for completing each activity to keep users interested. We built the whole app using React, which complemented the simplicity of the product.

  • I'm really pleased with how my app came out, it was exactly what I was looking for. The team at Scorchsoft are great at what they do and made the whole process as simple and easy as possible.

  • The new Flourish Education website has already removed a lot of manual processes, freeing up both schools, candidates and internal employees time. We are delighted with the look and feel which is clean, professional and more engaging. We are also pleased with the decision to have an HD video background on the homepage, and building immediate trust with our clients by giving them a taste of what it looks like in the Flourish Education offices.

  • I can't believe how quickly we started to see results with this project. Scorchsoft provided us with graphic-designed mockups of how the app would look once built, and we were able to sell the product for use by our first customer before the product was finished. Since launching in March, we have secured a major television network as a client who now uses Image Approvals to manage the talent approval process for their productions.
