Behind the Scenes: The mix dich glücklich App

Project Overview

Creating the mix dich glücklich app was a rewarding experience for our team. In this case study, we'll share the journey of transforming their website into a mobile app, from the initial planning stages to the final product launch.

App Highlights

mix dich glücklich is a german recipe blog. The app also allows users to save and categorize their favorite recipes.

The app's description in the app stores reads as follows:

Herzlich Willkommen in der App von "mix dich glücklich"! Hier findest du +2500 kreative Rezepte für den Thermomix® und täglich werden es mehr - frei zugänglich für alle User! Ihr könnt eure eigenen Favoriten-Ordner anlegen und sie so nennen, wie ihr möchtet - und diese auch an andere Geräte schicken. Damit könnt ihr euren eigenen Wochenplan schreiben oder Rezepte zu einem Thema sammeln (z.B. Rezeptideen für den Geburtstag, Weihnachten, Wochenplan, Mamas Lieblingsrezepte, Papas Lieblingsrezepte, Ostern, Hackfleisch, Geschnetzeltes, Kochen mit Kindern, Backen mit Kindern….) Zu allen Rezepten, sofern möglich, gibt es immer die vegetarische und vegane Version sowie die Version für Fleischesser. Jede Woche erscheint ein neuer Wochenplan mit Rezeptvorschlägen von Montag bis Sonntag. Jeden Tag gibt es ein "Rezept des Tages". Dieses erscheint mit den neusten Rezepten immer auf der Startseite, sodass du nie etwas verpasst. Die aktivierte Push-Benachrichtigung zeigt dir ebenfalls an, sobald etwas Neues in der App erschienen ist. Die Rezepte sind sehr übersichtlich in verschiedensten Kategorien zu finden - auch die Hauptgerichte sind nochmal unterteilt in Nudel-Gerichte, Kartoffel-Gerichte, Reis-Gerichte, Suppen & Eintöpfe, All in One Gerichte, Express-Rezepte, asiatische Rezepte, Rezepte aus dem Ofen.... etc., so dass du genau das findest, worauf du gerade Lust hast! Über die Suchfunktion kannst du nach Rezepten oder Zutaten suchen, alternativ im A-Z-Register alle Rezepte nach alphabetischer Reihenfolge finden. Außerdem gibt es eine große Rezeptauswahl für Non-Food-Rezepte (DIY Kosmetik & Wellness, DIY Putzmittel etc.) inkl. Shoppinghinweise für besondere Zutaten. Unter die Rezepte kannst du Kommentare schreiben, wenn du z.B. Fragen zur Zubereitung, zu Zutaten o.Ä. hast - eine Antwort bekommst du innerhalb von 24-48 Stunden. Jedes Rezept beginnt mit einer kleinen Story, die das Rezept betreffen, damit erfährst du auch immer ein paar persönliche Details aus dem Leben von Amelie, die hinter "mix dich glücklich" steckt.

App Creation

The mix dich glücklich team opted for our self-serve approach, which allows customers to configure and customize their app to their liking. This approach offers flexibility and control, enabling users to tailor the app's appearance and functionality based on their specific needs. However, customers are not alone in this process - they always have the option to seek assistance from our dedicated support team whenever needed.

During the app creation, we also add native features that elevate the app above the functionality of just the website. One example for that are push notifications, which you can send at any time through your app-control-panel.com dashboard. Or you can even automate them! Of course there are many other features, but we're highlighting the push notification feature because it's one of the most popular features. Many of our customers create an app just for the ability to send notifications.

App Publishing

App rejections are a common occurrence during the app publishing process, but they are typically minor issues that can be easily resolved. Common reasons for app rejections include incorrect information in the app store listing or issues with the app's functionality. Our team has experience in addressing these issues and working with customers to ensure a successful app launch.

Our team has a wealth of experience in app publishing, having successfully published hundreds of apps on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. This expertise allows us to navigate the app review process efficiently and address any issues that may arise during the review. We work closely with our customers to ensure that their app meets all the necessary requirements for publication, resulting in a smooth and successful app launch.

The app has been successfully published on the app stores, making it accessible to users. The mix dich glücklich team is delighted with the app's launch and is eager to see how users engage with the app.

The app has already been downloaded over 200000 times and has received an average rating of 4.9 stars based on 2951 reviews.

Conclusion

Transforming the mix dich glücklich website into a mobile app was a rewarding experience for both us and our client. We were able to deliver a high-quality, cross-platform mobile app that enhanced the user experience and added value to mix dich glücklich's services.

The customer's experience with us:

“I can recommend app-control-panel.com without any reservations. Very reliable cooperation, my questions were answered immediately every time. The instructions for publishing your app are described in such detail that you manage to fill out everything correctly even as a layman - and if you have questions, you get help immediately. Thank you for the fast and uncomplicated cooperation!”
