Slimming World

A health app that grows with

the user's needs

 
the idea

THE BRIEF

Slimming World had an existing application that was doing well but needed to be worked on as features were missing that their users were crying out for.

 
what needed to be solved

THE PROBLEM

The Distance and Slimming World accessed the application and reviewed it to identify the key areas that were missing. This highlights that the support offered to their users was missing and needed to be included to maximise the app's success.

 

"They've been open to new ideas and have challenged us when they thought a particular feature wouldn't work in the app world. The Distance has guided us in terms of what makes for good app development"

Simon Cattermole Product Owner
 
the clever bit!

THE SOLUTION

After an initial quick release to meet the New Year's uptake, The Distance now works as partners to help define the direction of the app, bringing extra value services to Slimming World members.

 
measuring success

THE RESULTS

The app has had almost 5 million downloads and continually supports 200,000 active users each month. It has also led to a significant increase in newsletter sign-ups - over 20,000 in the first year.
