OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The App Founders?

We hired the App Founders to develop a football game on the unity gaming development program. The World cup was around the corner, and we wanted to develop a mobile game quickly to multiply our sales and develop an interest in our sports equipment. Seeing the trending opportunity, we thought it was a good time to bring our business to the market.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

First, we have selected companies from the clutch. Then based on reviews, we have shortlisted the App Founders. The company was cross-examined, their prior work was checked, and they were given a task to prototype; the results were satisfactory enough for them to be hired.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The basic idea was to develop a multiplayer football game that gives a user a natural experience. Likewise, we could introduce avatars in the game who could customize their sports equipment. This way, we were not only marketing our game but also, letting the users know if they want to buy such equipment, they would know from where to buy it. The game was developed on the unity gaming development program. We wanted them to build a game with full features in a quick time.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

As is customary, a project manager was assigned to us, but because we were outsourcing, everyone on the team was kept informed. Unity expert developers and product designers were included in the team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

The App Founders has consistently delivered on time; their team aggressively took part in the design and development phase and helped us meet the deadlines even though we first gave them vague instructions. Additionally, their team's responsiveness and service have been superior.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We were able to deploy all the features and increase the quality of the game to a level we had never experienced previously by employing App Founders. Since we were new to the field, we wanted someone to navigate and guide us better without taking advantage of our situation. Both the deadline and the budget were met. Their management skills are good. We had virtual meetings through Skype and Google Meet to discuss details that needed to be handled.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

This company is highly innovative and knowledgeable. They have built a plan to include several profitable and cutting-edge concepts in our project. One of the best characteristics of this company is that they do not wait around to bring their thoughts to the table; rather, they are always proactive in sharing their expertise to create the best app possible.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

They are definitely one of the greatest developments I have ever worked with! My wife and I had only briefly engaged with them over a project, but everything has gone according to plan.

I found out about Clutch by looking into companies that had a good reputation and a history of making customers happy. I was hopeful that there would be a solution because the testimonials seemed to show promise, and their advisors were helpful.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

I think there isn’t a single area where it shouldn’t be satisfied but the places there were more than too good were the affordable rates, timely completions and finally their customer service.

I guess there isn’t a backlash point for them, but surely there is one place that I need to raise. Often they made changes on their own without inquiring me. Even though those changes were good for my IOS app but inquiring shouldn’t be ignored.

BACKGROUND

I am a manager at a superstore in San Jose.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The App Founders?

We hired App Founder to create an interactive game that will be installed on big gaming machines in our waiting area for children. The game encourages them to develop an interest in grocery shopping and also helps them to remain occupied for up to two hours, while their parents or guardians shop. This is because the children usually don't sit in the waiting area nor let the parent shop freely; resulting in a deficit in store sales.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

My IT-related team and I contacted App Founders through Clutch, and their positive ratings and reviews helped us learn about them. After consulting with their team, we decided to proceed with our project.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

We wanted the game to feature a cartoon character who could lead kids through educational content about the shopping store, as well as keep them engaged in play. Project steps:

Research and analysis of similar games that are currently available on the market.

• Creation of a prototype based on this research.
• Review and approval of the prototype by our executive team.
• Finalization of the project plan, including development timeframes and costs.

Key deliverables: An interactive game that is compatible with all standard gaming machines used by children. It will include basic gameplay elements such as a goal to be achieved and obstacles to overcome along the way. It will also include a storyline that is aligned with our brand values and goals, as well as sound effects that help build excitement throughout gameplay.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We began our project with a team of four people: a project manager, a designer, a developer, and a quality analyst. We used Slack for communication and Google Meet or Skype for meetings so that the team could stay in touch without being on the same screen.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The deliverables were exactly what we needed. The game was created in a short time frame, and the team at App Founder was able to work with us to develop a product that we are very proud of. After using the game for a few weeks, we're really happy with how it turned out. The kids are really engaged in the content, and they love the cartoon character. It's been a great addition to our store.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

In terms of the project management style, we've found that App Founders have had a very professional approach to the project. They made sure to keep us up to date on the project's progress, and they did so in such a way that we were most comfortable with.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

One thing that impressed me throughout the project is that the App Founders team was able to make changes quickly and was very responsive to our feedback. They were also very creative in the way they approached design and development tasks, which made it easy for us to collaborate with them on the project.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I can't think of anything that we would have done differently. I thought the entire experience was very well organized and easy to follow. The information provided was clear and concise, which made it easy for us to understand what was happening throughout the process.

They have deep expertise in QA, which is crucial for companies that are using an ERP system. They also have an excellent reputation within the industry, so I was confident that they would be able to resolve any issues that we had quickly and efficiently.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

If we had to identify a weakness, we would say that response time on revisions could be faster. The overall schedule was good, and the final product was excellent.
