The APP Solutions

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CEO of an international e-commerce product company. We offer solutions in the fields of career-building and educational projects. I'm responsible for developing our business strategies over short- and long-term objectives.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The APP Solutions?

We already had a website where customers could purchase our products. In order to retain and perpetuate growth, we needed a mobile application for iOS. We had a backend and a design scheme ready to go but to develop the rest, we hired The APP Solutions.

What were your goals for this project?

Since more and more users are switching to mobile devices, it was critical for us to leverage that trend and expand our target market. We also wanted the app to be minimal and user-friendly.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

The APP Solutions was recommended to us by our partner. After initial discussions, we received a project estimate from their business analyst and decided to move forward with that budget and scope.

Describe the project in detail.

Over several meetings with their development team, we provided them with the documentation for the application so that they could fully comply with our existing backend. Initially, they also led the QA and testing. But right before the release, we conducted joint testing before putting the app in full use.

What was the team composition?

The APP Solutions team consisted of an iOS developer, a QA engineer, and a project manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We don't have download numbers yet because we are currently in the App Store release stage of the project. However, we are highly satisfied with the outcome. The APP Solutions team delivered an app with almost no bugs. We are planning to reengage them for further refinement of the app and the addition of new features.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The development process went at a reasonable pace. Despite both of our teams working closely together on different parts of the project, there were no problems across all the communication channels. They consistently kept us informed and had their deliverables done on time.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The APP Solutions exceeded our expectations— we're extremely impressed by the quality of the end result. Due to the complexity of the system, we were afraid that non-internal personnel wouldn't understand the processes but The APP Solutions team comprehended the goal of the app effortlessly.

Are there any areas for improvement?

In general, we are delighted. The project took a little more time than originally estimated, but that was expected due to the peculiarity of our system and the fact that the company couldn't know all the aspects ahead of time.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the CEO of PassportScan Ltd., a hospitality company that specializes in international travel.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with The APP Solutions?

We wanted to build a mobile app that streamlines the hotel check-in process, but we didn’t have enough resources to create the platform internally. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The APP Solutions was brought in to build the MVP version of our app concept for Android. They spent two weeks reviewing our tech data before moving on to create wireframe models with user stories that represent our target audience. Once the documentation was confirmed, their team produced three UI/UX design concepts for us to approve. After finalizing our decision, they developed the app per our requirements. An SDK from a third-party vendor was integrated, so extensive testing QA testing was necessary.

What is the team composition?

Our account was assigned to one of their project managers, who oversaw a business analyst, designer, Android developer, and QA engineer.

How did you come to work with The APP Solutions?

We reached out to them after seeing their company mentioned on a B2B service list. Their impressive portfolio had a significant influence on our hiring decision.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent less than $50,000 for their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

They began working on the app since December 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The app has helped us shorten the exhaustive check-in process down to 20 seconds. We are very pleased with The APP Solutions’ work. Several tech professionals have praised the platform’s speed and accuracy, while users are enjoying the seamless navigation.

How did The APP Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

They were highly responsive and agile throughout the engagement. We established a timeline, but they managed to produce the final deliverables before the deadline.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The APP Solutions truly understood our business goals, so they were able to offer creative ideas that enhanced our original vision.

Are there any areas they could improve?

At the beginning of the project, we experienced a few problems regarding the timeline and budget estimations. Fortunately, increased communication was enough to rectify those issues.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the founder of Instance LLC. I oversee administration and financial management.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The APP Solutions?

I had an exciting new idea. 

What were your goals for this project?

I wanted to build an app that allowed people all over the world to create instantaneous local events on their schedule, instead of merely waiting for the weekend for activities. This flies in the face of every other event app, but fits the modern lifestyle far better.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I spent a long time exhaustively searching online and asking my friends and connections in the industry. Other companies were too stiff and didn't care about my goals. I chose The App Solutions because of the positive, supportive attitude that permeates everything they do.

Describe the project in detail.

We spent more than a year working together. 

We created an efficient, detailed design document and jumped into development. They adapted to new ideas and gave me many creative solutions. App development is a living thing, and they brought the project to life. Even now, during beta testing, I feel totally supported and confident because of their knowledge, talent, and communication skill.

What was the team composition?

The App Solutions is a fairly large, talented team of project managers, account managers, and programmers who move together as a cohesive and cooperative team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We're live on Google Play, we're speaking with large potential partners, and we've received tremendous positive attention on social media. All this is possible because of The App Solutions. They went far beyond the call of duty to make it happen.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Our workflow is tremendously good. Their project managers are some of the best in the world. They're extremely patient and capable, and they lay out all my options. Since we're all friends now, our interactions are conversational but also professional, efficient, and stress-free. The team cares about my success and does their best to find solutions. I cannot emphasize enough how invaluable this intangible quality is.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The driving force behind The App Solutions is the people. Companies are nothing without talent and heart. Our culture of mutual respect and friendship efficiently translates ideas into reality. I will continue to use their services for years.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Honestly, I have no suggestions. I have app development experience, so I know the good and the bad. I didn't know how smoothly development could go until I met their team.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president and founder of Oscar Diggs Digital. We’re a marketing consultancy.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with The APP Solutions?

I’ve worked with The APP Solutions with multiple companies on a variety of projects, both internal and external. They’re my go-to development partner, handling every challenge I throw their way.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

At this point, I’ve completed several projects with The APP Solutions. In an engagement a few years ago, their team helped my company with a project for a client. They developed a booking system with a custom interface and integrated it with an existing website’s backend. The APP Solutions created the user flow, connected APIs, and provided custom code. They turned a strictly informational website into a fully interactive booking system for the client’s customers.

On another project, The APP Solutions helped us to build out and develop an MVP for a new advertising service we were creating. They were involved in the product development and conceptualization processes and handled our backend integration. They also connected the ad hoc solution we started with on our own to Google's APIs to create an automated workflow that streamlined our user's experience and reduced the amount of time it took to manage the tool internally. Unfortunately, the base service within Android that we were building our solution on top of was retired by Google, but the project had managed to get quite a few pilot clients before that thanks to the great work The APP Solutions delivered for us. Without their help, this project never would have gotten past the proof of concept stage and been able to become an MVP, with active paying customers.

What is the team composition?

I speak to the CEO before we start any project to share my needs and ideas. He connects me with a project manager, who will lead a larger team of resources. Over the course of my relationship with The APP Solutions, I’ve worked with about four project managers in total—all of them have been top-notch.

How did you come to work with The APP Solutions?

I have a large network in Eastern Europe and have worked with several development companies there over the years. The APP Solutions is the one I've stuck with and will keep coming back to.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent about $30,000–$35,000 in total, including both internal and external projects.

What is the status of this engagement?

I first engaged The APP Solutions in June 2015, and we’ve done several projects with them since. We just finished our last one in October 2018. We don’t have an active engagement at the moment, but we have another one on the horizon and will be working with them again soon.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

They’ve been instrumental in our internal success. We’re a marketing agency, so we don’t have in-house development resources. The APP Solutions enables us to test new ideas and build experimental solutions that we can leverage internally and offer to our clients. We have a competitive edge over market competitors because not many agencies produce their own advertising and marketing software solutions. They help us improve our company operations and client relationships, executing any idea or vision we share with them.

How did The APP Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re an insanely responsive and competent team. I’ve been impressed with every resource I’ve had the pleasure of working with. They are timely, organized, and proactive. It’s clear that they care about their clients. They actively try to understand the reasons behind each project—they don’t just execute based on the requirements that we provide. Because they understand those nuanced details, they’re able to provide feedback and suggestions to improve the final product. We treat them as a partner rather than an outsourced team. Overall, our workflow is easy and fluid.

What did you find most impressive about them?

When I first engaged them, they were a different company that soon merged with The APP Solutions. I’ve watched them evolve, and they’re moving in the direction of advertising and marketing technology. It’s an added value to their business because they not only understand technical tools and elements, but they also understand the strategies driving them.

For example, an internal project that they helped us with involved proximity marketing. When we shared the concept with The APP Solutions, they were already familiar with the technology we planned on using. They added valuable insight into our development roadmap, improving our vision for the final product.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I’m happy with everything about them. They’re reasonably priced, responsive, skilled, and friendly. I have absolutely nothing negative to say, which is why our relationship has lasted so long.

Any advice for potential customers?

Clients should treat them like a doctor—tell them everything and don’t be shy. If their team is aware of every business challenge and roadblock, they’ll deliver a product that solves each problem. They’ve added value to all of our projects.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We provide a push-notifications marketing solution aiming to cut costs for enterprise businesses. Our startup was launched in early-2013 and acquired in November of that year by a Canadian mobile engagement solutions provider.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with The App Solutions?

We started out with a small team. We didn't have any full-time mobile developers, and the first version of our software had been developed by one of our founders, who had a background in backend programming. It was slow and ineffective, which is why we contacted The App Solutions' team.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The App Solutions has provided consultation for our technical questions, also helping with the architecture of our backend solution. The App Solutions provided iOS and Android development, but we handled the backend coding in-house.

We also needed to develop an SDK [software development kit] for the Android and iOS platforms, which required around 15 hours of work. We didn't want to hire developers for this work, given that the core of our system consisted of the backend, not the development libraries. The App Solutions helped us launch these 2 libraries, which came to be one of the reasons our company was acquired.

How did you come to work with The App Solutions?

The App Solutions was recommended by a couple of our friends, as well as by our seed investor. We were a small company in need of fast results. The App Solutions guaranteed that they could provide the workforce for our tasks immediately.

How much have you invested with The App Solutions?

Our project with The App Solutions consisted of 50–70 hours of work, at a rate of $35 per hour. The backend consultation was provided for free.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with The App Solutions in May 2015, but our consultation process may have started a couple of months before that time. The development part of our work took around 6 weeks to complete.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

I don't have any metrics to share, but I am certain that our SDKs were the reason why we received interest from our parent company and several others.

The SDKs were developed in only a couple of weeks. It was a great experience, and we didn't need to wait long for results.

As our internal team focused on web and push notifications, The App Solutions helped us cover the mobile app portion of the work. Before the autumn of 2015, we already had a fully-featured solution for mobile, the web, and desktops.

How did The App Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

We have treated The App Solutions' team as our friends. The collaboration was both personal and professional, and it was a pleasure to work with The App Solutions, even when we identified bugs in the first versions.

What did you find most impressive about The App Solutions?

The App Solutions provided free and detailed consultation for our company. They worked hard and made us understand the process. We may not have a comparison point, but we're happy to have worked with The App Solutions.

Are there any areas The App Solutions could improve?

The project was not very long. The App Solutions provided the best developers for us, especially on iOS. Their team lead also performed well and took responsibility for the job. I have no critiques.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a counsel at Yaskro, a web and mobile development company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with The APP Solutions?

We needed to provide development expertise for a product we were building for our client. Our goal was not simply to build software but to deliver a product that would help our client generate tangible business outcomes. We needed a development partner who could think beyond implementation and contribute to shaping the right solution overall.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The APP Solutions has supported us in delivering the platform we’re building for our client. Their team has contributed to both the development and the strategic prioritization of the product features. The APP Solutions’ responsibilities include building key parts of the application, supporting backend and platform functionality, collaborating with our product team on technical decisions, and helping identify which features would have the biggest business impact.In terms of technology, The APP Solutions’ backend work has focused on business logic implementation using a microservices-oriented approach. This has included building the data processing engines that power our analytics dashboard and ensuring the system's overall stability through rigorous unit testing and error handling protocols. The team has structured the backend to be modular and maintainable for the long-term roadmap.

What is the team composition?

We work with 2–5 members of The APP Solutions’ team.

How did you come to work with The APP Solutions?

We found them through a professional connection and partnership. We chose them because their pricing fit our budget, they had a great culture fit, they offered good value for the cost, their company values aligned with ours, and they had strong technical expertise.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2024, and the engagement ended in Q2 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The APP Solutions has delivered our product successfully and supported our client’s business objectives. By focusing on the most impactful features first, we’ve been able to launch a solution that provides immediate value to the client’s operations and users. The primary KPI for this engagement has been time to market and system stability. By implementing a modular architecture, The APP Solutions’ team has reduced the project development cycle for core features by approximately 20%. The platform has maintained 99.9% uptime post-launch.Moreover, our client has reported that the new platform has significantly improved their user retention rates. Their internal feedback has emphasized that the technical stability and intuitive feature set — both of which The APP Solutions has helped shape — have been key factors in the project's success. They’ve since indicated an interest in expanding the scope for phase 2 based on these results.

How did The APP Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

The APP Solutions delivers on time. We communicate via virtual meetings and email or messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

One of the most valuable aspects of the collaboration has been The APP Solutions’ proactive mindset. Instead of simply implementing requirements, they often suggest adjustments that help us focus development effort on functionality that would actually drive value for the end client. The team approaches the project not just as developers but as partners who genuinely care about the business outcome. They’re consistently helping us focus on the features that would create real value for our client rather than simply implementing a long list of requirements.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Our collaboration has gone very smoothly. We appreciate their proactive attitude and partnership mindset throughout the engagement.
