Envision a community where individuals can record heartfelt stories—from favorite travel souvenirs to transformative encounters—and instantly share them via voice. That’s the essence of QuickTales: a thoughtfully crafted mobile app uniting the joy of verbal storytelling with the nostalgia of personal photography. Instead of scrolling through endless text updates, QuickTales draws you into an immersive, audio‑first approach to communication. Collaborating with Chop Dawg, QuickTales set out to build more than just an app. The goal: a comprehensive storytelling hub, complete with advanced user profiles, private and group shares, location‑based discovery, and a robust administrative portal for thorough oversight. Together, we combined a forward‑thinking UI, flexible media uploads, and streamlined social interactions—resulting in a platform that sparks meaningful connections by encouraging stories that touch the heart.
Connecting Voices, Moments, and Memories into One Seamless Experience
QuickTales needed to encapsulate the complexities of voice recordings, secure user data, and streamline an experience that resonates with people of all ages. Incorporating audio–photo pairings presented bandwidth hurdles. Providing frictionless navigation—while offering group chats, location tagging, and multi‑platform sharing—mandated a refined interface and potent backend logic. Meanwhile, thorough moderation was paramount to keep the environment safe. By guiding development across iOS, Android, and a web admin interface, Chop Dawg tackled these demands head‑on, ensuring QuickTales was both creative and well protected.
From the earliest brainstorming sessions to final product deployment, Chop Dawg worked in sync with QuickTales’ leadership—ensuring every feature upheld user satisfaction and brand integrity. Our approach started by refining wireframes to visualize every detail, from uploading pictures and recording audio to event tagging and curated albums. As designs gained fidelity, we tapped our agile project management framework—leveraging Slack, Jira, Confluence, and weekly Zoom calls—to maintain alignment. While our global development team handled the backend and front‑end logic, U.S.‑based QA specialists tested everything from group functionality and parental controls to real‑time push notifications. Throughout, David Hirshman and Adam Lesh’s involvement was crucial—ensuring QuickTales remained a reflection of their original vision for a safe, imaginative, and deeply personal storytelling network.
QuickTales delivers a feature‑rich ecosystem that transforms photos and voice recordings into compelling narrative moments.
Capturing a story is effortless: users snap a photo or upload an existing one, then record a voice note that sets the emotional tone—resulting in an immersive, resonant snippet of personal history.
Invitation links, real‑time notifications, and direct follow or private group options enable flexible sharing—whether it’s a closed circle of friends or a global audience.
Geo‑tagging empowers users to anchor their voice snippet to a real‑world spot, sparking local discovery and bridging intangible memories with physical places.
Audio reactions and “favorite” functionality add an emotional layer, letting listeners respond with their voices—capturing raw sentiment no typed comment can match.
Beyond fundamental storytelling, QuickTales offers advanced moderation and dynamic engagement for all users.
Dedicated album creation allows grouping of related QuickTales—whether chronicling personal milestones, museum exhibits, or city tours—for easy navigation.
Organizations (e.g., galleries, parks) can tailor content to specific physical areas—accessible only within designated boundaries—adding local flair to each user’s QuickTales session.
From design handover to post‑launch maintenance, our team provided comprehensive expertise for QuickTales’ entire lifecycle.
We refined QuickTales’ original mobile designs—bridging any gaps and ensuring consistent branding across iOS, Android, and the marketing site.

Post‑launch, QuickTales enjoyed a complimentary buffer for bug fixing and minor adjustments—guaranteeing a smooth debut and proactive support for any early user feedback.
We leaned on Slack for daily updates and Zoom for weekly check‑ins—coordinating design tweaks, clarifying feature logic, and ensuring QuickTales harnessed best practices in data privacy. Our integrated tools—like Jira for task management and Confluence for documentation—kept all parties synced on development progress. Meanwhile, leadership at QuickTales provided swift approvals at key milestones, letting us finalize scope, wireframes, design flows, and testing steps. This synergy led to a stable, creative product that soared from concept to polished release on both app stores.
Real‑time voice recordings merged with personal images create a one‑of‑a‑kind digital scrapbook, encouraging vulnerable sharing and forging genuine, emotive bonds.
