About The Customer
The primary users of the Tiger Facts app are individuals who enjoy pranking their friends and family with humorous and absurd facts about tigers. These users are likely to be tech-savvy and enjoy using apps and technology to interact with their friends. They may also be fans of the 'Tiger King' Netflix series, which inspired the creation of the app. The app's user-friendly interface and fun concept make it appealing to a wide range of users, from teenagers to adults. The app also offers a unique and entertaining way for users to engage with their friends and family, adding an element of surprise and humor to their interactions.
The Challenge
Tiger Facts co-founders, T. S. Strickland and Brooke Fleming, were inspired to create a fun and engaging app after watching the popular Netflix series, 'Tiger King'. They wanted to create an app that would allow users to prank their friends by sending them absurd facts about tigers. However, they faced the challenge of developing an app quickly and efficiently without extensive coding knowledge. They needed a platform that would allow them to create a functional, user-friendly app in a short period of time.
The Solution
The co-founders decided to use Bubble, a no-code platform, to build their app. Bubble's powerful point-and-click web editor and cloud hosting platform allowed them to build a fully customizable web application in just over a week. Users of the Tiger Facts app can input the names and phone numbers of friends they wish to prank, select the timing and frequency of the texts, and choose the 'facts' they want to send. Messages are sent automatically from a toll-free number, allowing users to watch the conversations play out in real-time via the web app. Users receive 5 free messages, with the option to send more by purchasing credits.
