Designing an Insurance App That Doesn’t Feel Like Insurance

How we designed and developed Get Cover’s modern device protection app and school web portal to transform insurance into a seamless, engaging digital experience.

Insurance isn’t exactly known for being exciting.

That’s what made this project so compelling.

Get Cover approached us with a bold challenge: design and develop a mobile app that engages a younger audience in an industry that traditionally struggles to connect with them. Device protection is essential — especially for students and families — but the experience surrounding it has often felt complicated, outdated, and impersonal.

Our mission was simple:
Make device insurance feel modern, intuitive, and actually enjoyable to use.

The result? A cohesive digital ecosystem that spans a beautifully crafted mobile app and a comprehensive school-focused web portal — bringing clarity, confidence, and energy to device protection.

The Challenge: Making Insurance Relevant to a Younger Audience

Younger audiences expect:

  • Instant access

  • Clean, intuitive interfaces

  • Transparent pricing

  • Seamless authentication

  • Zero unnecessary friction

Traditional insurance platforms rarely deliver on these expectations. Complex forms, dense jargon, and confusing coverage breakdowns create distance instead of trust.

For Get Cover, the opportunity was clear:
Reimagine insurance as a digital-first product experience — not just a policy document.

We needed to:

  • Simplify complex protection plans

  • Make coverage visually understandable

  • Reduce onboarding friction

  • Create trust through clarity

  • Deliver speed without sacrificing depth

Designing a Mobile-First Experience That Feels Effortless

From the very first interaction, the app was built around simplicity and momentum.

Streamlined Onboarding

Users can sign up in seconds using Apple or Google authentication. No lengthy forms. No friction. Just immediate access to protection options.

The interface uses bold typography, clean layouts, and human-centered imagery to set the tone: this isn’t traditional insurance — it’s modern device protection.

An Intuitive Coverage Dashboard

Once inside, users land on a personalized dashboard where they can:

  • View protected devices

  • Check coverage status

  • See expiration dates

  • Edit details

  • Access policy information instantly

Coverage information is presented clearly — no confusing legal blocks or overwhelming fine print upfront.

Simplifying Complex Coverage into Clear Choices

Insurance language can overwhelm users quickly. We redesigned coverage categories into digestible, easy-to-understand options:

  • Repair Plans

  • Replacement Plans

  • Accidental Damage Protection

  • Theft Protection

  • Vandalism Coverage

Each option is presented visually and transparently, helping users understand what they’re choosing — and why it matters.

Creating Energy in an Industry Known for Friction

Insurance products often rely on sterile design and formal messaging.

We intentionally did the opposite.

The visual system incorporates:

  • Bold contrast and modern color palettes

  • Clean, friendly typography

  • Engaging photography

  • Clear calls-to-action

  • Confident, direct language

Instead of “policy management,” users experience “protection for what matters.”

Instead of complexity, they get clarity.

Instead of stress, they get control.

The app reframes device insurance as a lifestyle safeguard — not a bureaucratic burden.

Building a Seamless Web Portal for Schools and Parents

Beyond the mobile experience, we built a comprehensive web portal tailored to school districts and families.

Many districts distribute Chromebooks and iPads to students. Parents need an easy way to secure protection — without navigating traditional insurance systems.

The portal enables:

  • School-branded coverage pages

  • Simple annual pricing displays

  • Clear device-specific plans

  • Instant enrollment

  • Transparent feature comparisons

For example, Chromebook and iPad plans clearly outline coverage options such as:

  • Accidental damage

  • Repair coverage

  • Theft protection

  • Vandalism coverage

Pricing is straightforward and easy to compare, eliminating guesswork for parents.

Designing for Trust, Clarity, and Confidence

Trust is non-negotiable in insurance.

To build that trust digitally, we focused on:

  • Transparent pricing

  • Clear expiration timelines

  • Real-time coverage status indicators

  • Simple editing options

  • Consistent visual hierarchy

  • Straightforward language

Every interaction reinforces confidence.

Users always know:

  • What’s covered

  • When it expires

  • What their options are

  • How to take action

That clarity transforms insurance from intimidating to empowering.

The Technology & Product Strategy Behind the Ecosystem

The product wasn’t just about design — it required scalable infrastructure and strategic architecture.

We built:

  • A mobile-first iOS experience

  • A scalable web portal for school districts

  • Account-based device management

  • Flexible plan configuration

  • Cross-platform synchronization

This ensures schools, parents, and students can interact with the system seamlessly — whether on mobile or web.

The result is a unified ecosystem, not a fragmented insurance platform.

The Result: Insurance That Feels Modern

The transformation delivered:

  • A device protection app designed for digital-native users

  • A frictionless onboarding process

  • Simplified coverage management

  • A school-ready protection system

  • A cohesive brand experience across platforms

Most importantly, it shifted perception.

Insurance no longer feels slow, complicated, or distant.

It feels accessible. Clear. Human.

And that changes everything.
