Identity Solutions
The #1 audio course app for personal and professional development.
Ongoing maintenance and feature development for Germany's leading audio learning platform — 80+ expert-led courses in German, iOS, Android, and admin panel.
The brief
German-speaking professionals had no dedicated, high-quality audio learning platform in their native language. Podcast platforms were unstructured, video courses required full attention, and English-language platforms dominated the space.
The challenge
Taking over an existing multi-platform product (native iOS, native Android, backend, admin panel) mid-lifecycle and delivering continuous improvement without disrupting an active user base.
Our solution
A curated, audio-first learning platform in German pairing high-quality mentor expertise with structured step-by-step course progression — in a self-serve mobile format built for busy professionals on the go.
