ABOUT THE PROJECT
We're building the Android version of a hit iOS self-care app where users nurture a cute virtual pet through mindful daily routines—like feeding, playing, meditation timers, and habit tracking. The app promotes wellness with soothing animations, progress rewards, and gentle reminders (already live and loved on the App Store). Time to bring this clean codebase to Android users everywhere. Tech Stack: React Native / Expo (FE), Firebase (BE). Mission: Port the solid iOS core to Android.

WHO WE ARE
We are a rather non-conventional, quite progressive, and pretty cool (even if we say so ourselves) software house with HQ in Košice, Slovakia.
We specialize in custom software development of mobile, web and desktop apps, system integration and automation, a long-term-partnership form of outsourcing and the development of startups. Our services cover the entire software development lifecycle, including support and maintenance.
HOTOVO is led by a team of specialists with 15+ years of experience. Established in 2010, we’ve since grown from zero to 150+ people – without any foreign capital or investment, and without any state support and subsidies… which means there’s no-one out there dictating what we can and can’t do 😊.
We work with top-notch companies across the globe which enables us to attract the best talent (and the coolest people 😎) in town. We’re a proven long-term partner of global industry leaders like MuleSoft, Protecht, Oracle, RedHat, Seismic, Salesforce and Atlassian, as well as numerous creative young startups.
Our primary markets are the USA, UK and Australia. However, we have clients in many countries across the world. We’re a globally distributed team with our HQ in Košice, Slovakia, which means we can cover different time zones and be even closer to our clients. We love what we do, and we love the team we've created to do it with. Developing software solutions (and helping our clients succeed!) is a joy and an art all in one, and that is how we approach it.
