What is Laundrapp?

Where Cuhu comes in…
Cuhu was appointed as Laundrapp’s technology partner March 2020. Initially Cuhu maintained Laundrapp’s iOS and Android apps, added new functionality to the bespoke CMS and designed Laundrapp’s new website which was launched to wide acclaim during the summer. As part of the website design, Cuhu extended Laundrapp’s digital guidelines to ensure the website is accessible to the visually impaired.
With the launch of the new website, mounting technical debt and legacy code in the native Android and iOS apps, Laundrapp saw the opportunity to replace the two apps with a React Native App for both iOS and Android. Doing this would reduce the resource needed for ongoing maintenance and enable Laundrapp to drive revenue opportunities more quickly. The new app launched September 2020 after 3-months of development and provided feature parity with the existing app, plus a little more. The main features of the app are detailed below.
