Premium Bond Checker: A utility app case study

"An unofficial NS&I premium bond checker, allowing you to effortlessly check if you, or friends and family, have won in a recent draw."

Building the Android mobile app

Background

The Premium Bond Checker Android app was originally developed in 2011, for Android version 2.4 (Gingerbread). The idea was to modernise the app, and take advantage of the new features of the latest version of Android.

The app was to feature a new, sleek design, with push notifications and the automatic checking of each account associated to the app, as well as planning for an iOS version of the app in the near future.

Revamping the software

In order to create a competitive advantage, we had to rethink the app, taking feedback from the old version on board. We minimised the number of steps it took for the user to get information, and enabled users to more easily add accounts, and configure settings.

Let’s talk about how our software can work for you.

Draw notifications

Automatic monthly draw result checking

NS&I releases prize results on the third working day of each month, at an arbitary time - it is difficult for holders to remember when the draw will take place each month. Our automatic prize checking will alert the holder the morning of the draw with their results.

NS&I integration

Acquire draw results in absense of an API

NS&I do not provide a supported API for accessing draw results. The app hooks into the NS&I web feed to obtain draw results.
