Case Study: Barnes & Noble Education achieves accessible, top-rated student apps with STRV

Barnes & Noble Education builds Bartleby’s top-rated iOS and Android apps with STRV and 2.5 million+ textbook solutions

Barnes & Noble Education required a partner to build beautifully designed and highly accessible iOS and Android apps for its Bartleby homework helper service. The challenge involved choosing the right development framework and implementing strict accessibility standards to ensure the app was usable for all students. STRV was brought on to provide product management, design, and engineering services to meet this challenge.

STRV engineered the solution using React Native, which was ideal for the app's form-based nature and future scaling. They provided thorough advice on accessibility best practices and successfully launched the MVP. Post-launch, STRV's maintenance and user engagement suggestions helped the app achieve a 4.6 App Store rating. The partnership also allowed for the quick implementation of a new photo-based math problem feature using OCR and machine learning.
