Description

Instant Video Stickers via QR Codes

Qub is a mobile app that connects physical and digital experiences by allowing users to create personalised video stickers linked to QR codes. Users can record short video messages and attach them to real-world objects by printing and scanning custom QR codes. The app supports both iOS and Android and includes a fully featured admin portal for content and user management.

 

This project involved full mobile app development, user interface design, backend integration, and supporting infrastructure to deliver a truly unique communication tool used across gifting, business, and marketing sectors.

Results

Conor was excellent to work with and collaborated with us on the design and functionality of our project. He had lots of suggestions on how to solve design and function challenges and experience with external platforms and tools that we could use to improve our project. We're happy with the results and hope to work with Conor again in the future.
