About

Your Voucher Book is a mobile app used to manage and redeem vouchers across a wide range of offers and experiences. It’s a core product for users, something they rely on regularly, so performance and reliability aren’t optional.


Challenge

The existing app had reached its limit.

It was built using React Native and relied heavily on third-party components. Over time, this created increasing problems with stability, maintenance, and compatibility.

The platform was:

  • Difficult to update

  • Fragile under change

  • At risk of failing future app store requirements

  • Not structured for adding new features

At the same time, everything users relied on needed to stay intact.

This wasn’t a redesign. It was a rebuild, without breaking what already worked.

Solution

We rebuilt the app from the ground up using modern, first-party technologies.

The new platform uses Kotlin for Android, Swift for iOS, and Laravel for the backend, creating a more stable and maintainable foundation. We retained full feature parity, ensuring users experienced no disruption during the transition.

Behind the scenes, we introduced a cleaner architecture, making the system easier to update, scale, and support long-term.

We also added better diagnostics, including crash reporting, logging, and user tracking, giving full visibility into how the app performs in real-world use.

Result

The app is now faster, more stable, and significantly easier to maintain.

It no longer relies on outdated third-party components, reducing risk and improving long-term reliability.

The platform is now ready for ongoing Apple and Google updates, removing a major point of failure.

Most importantly, it’s no longer something the team has to work around. It’s something they can build on, with confidence.

Testimonial

The team has exceptional technical knowledge and provide excellent communication and reliable support. Surge Online has not only maintained but also significantly improved the app's performance and stability, and resolved ongoing issues, which has resulted in a more reliable and user-friendly experience for my customers. The tech support over the past year has been excellent, they are always available to address any issues promptly, giving me peace of mind and confidence that my app is in safe hands. I would have no hesitation in recommending Surge.
