Start of Development for the New Web App to Replace the Existing Objective-C iOS App

The main requests from users of the existing app were:

• Data should be syncable between multiple devices.
• Scanning products often lacks data.
• The product data available does not meet the expected quality.
• There should be an Android app.

What users liked about the app:

• Data was stored locally on the device (unfortunately in conflict with the above request for synchronization).
• The app was simple and easy to navigate.

In May 2019, the decision was made to completely rewrite the app with a modernized technology stack, after several attempts to modernize the existing app had failed. The choice fell on React with ReactJS for the web app, and the potential to later develop iOS and Android apps using React Native.
