Case Study: ThickButtons achieves award-winning Android app success with N-iX

Full-Cycle Development of a Leading App for Multi-touch Input on Android Keyboards

ThickButtons, a U.S.-based hi-tech company, wanted to build a leading Android keyboard app but lacked in-house mobile expertise. The company partnered with N-iX to turn its idea into a smart technical and design solution, while overcoming challenges such as real-time responsiveness and fast processing on phones with limited performance.

N-iX assembled a dedicated Android team to develop, test, and support the app, using multi-level caching and custom data structures to ensure speed and smooth screen updates. The solution helped ThickButtons launch an award-winning app that reached 700,000 downloads and gained recognition from outlets like LifeHacker, CNet, PCWorld, Wired, and Fortune; usability tests showed 24% faster text input, 31% higher accuracy, and 92% of users saying they would like to use it.
