Client

FoneWizard (subsidary of MTR Ltd) is a company that aims to save on the amount of electronic waste that ends up in landfill. They do this by buying and selling refurbished devices such as phones, laptops and tablets.



Project

Beginning in 2017, FoneWizard commissioned me to create an app that would allow users to remotely calculate a quote for the value of their phone. It would do this by first reading a plethora of system info such as brand, storage size etc. It would then take the user through a series of tests that would allow them to report on the condition of components including:

  • Camera
  • LCD Screen
  • Audio
  • Bluetooth
  • Wifi
It would then allow them to accept this quote, provide contact and payment details before awaiting instructions from FoneWizard on how to send in their device to receive payment.

Implementation

This app required custom plugins to be developed that interfaced with both native android and ios platform functions. This was to faciliate the specialised testing required such as:

  • Testing variable number of device cameras to determine condition
  • Testing of Bluetooth and Wifi connectivity
  • Testing of headset and speaker audio
  • Touchscreen
  • LCD
Customer input forms for contact, payment and shipping was a great feature of this app. It supported features such as:
  • Data validation across every field
  • Autocomplete for UK-centric location fields
  • Remote validation of bank details via API

Result

This app has supported countless transactions for customers with FoneWizard, allowing people to recycle phones and collect payment in a seamless and convenient way
