The Challenge

The app had been neglected for a significant period — outdated libraries, broken integrations, and a codebase that couldn't keep up with App Store and Google Play policy updates. Before any new features could be added, the foundation had to be fixed.

What I Did

Took over the existing React Native codebase and brought it back to a maintainable state. Updated outdated libraries across the project, fixed broken push notification integrations that had stopped working due to deprecated APIs, and resolved App Store and Google Play compliance issues that were blocking updates.

Added new functionality for daily highs and lows tracking, and implemented initial redesign changes based on designer input before handing off further redesign work to a colleague.

Results

  • App restored to a fully updatable and compliant state
  • Push notification system rebuilt and functional
  • App Store and Google Play policy compliance resolved
  • 100,000+ downloads and still live on both platforms
