Flags of All Countries of the World: Guess-Quiz - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

We are a team of two. My brother Alexey has extensive experience in programming and computer science, and he is responsible for all technical aspects of our apps. I’m not a technical person, so I prepare the application content and respond to user feedback.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

From the technical point of view, the hardest part was the integration of ads and in-app-purchases so that everything worked smoothly and without crashes.

_{Andrey Solovyev & Alexey Solovyev}

Andrey and Alexey came to the United States from St. Petersburg, Russia for graduate studies at the University of Pittsburgh. After getting Ph.D. degrees (Andrey in Chemistry and Alexey in Mathematics), they decided to create educational mobile apps. They now live and work in Seattle.

Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

Currently, my favorite app is “DailyArt - Your Daily Dose of Art” because I love art and learning. You can learn a lot about famous and not-so-famous paintings and artists.

How long have you been working on this app?

The first version of Flags app was published in 2014. Since then, we’ve added many new features and languages to our old apps and created new ones.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

Education will always be a relevant and important part of our life. I’m always happy to receive feedback from users that our apps helped them pass an exam or refresh their knowledge of world geography.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

I have liked geography since I was a child. So I believe that my deep knowledge of the subject helps make our apps outstanding. My brother makes sure that everything works fast and without bugs. And we provide many different ways of learning and keep the app design simple.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

We are going to add multiplayer modes to our apps and other engaging features such as the Daily Challenge.

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?

I encourage users who have liked our app about flags to check out our other educational apps on a variety of topics: from world geography and US presidents to organic chemistry and names of flowers.
