AppMakersLA worked closely with us to map out the exact features we needed in our billing software. From automated payment tracking to custom reporting tools, they helped us design a system that’s perfectly aligned with our daily operations.

Project summary
App Makers LA developed a mobile app for an education platform. Working in TestFlight, they held discovery sessions, created wireframes, implemented the client's designs into the app, and provided QA testing.

Feedback summary
App Makers LA delivered a fully functioning app that received very positive feedback through the beta phase. They also took the client's ideas into consideration when developing the app. Their team was professional, flexible, and communicative via Slack and email.

Quote
"The team was both relaxed and professional from the outset."

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder/director of Number Hive. We are an educational company specialising in Math education.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire App Makers LA, and what were your goals?

We wanted to develop a game that embodied all our research into math anxiety and deploy this game on a global scale.

SOLUTION

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

The vendor came highly recommended by respected colleagues in my field. After numerous conversations with Dan at App Makers, we felt confident that the match was a solid one.

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

App Makers have walked with us on the journey from from the very beginning. They helped with ideation, brainstorming sessions with multiple iterations with potential wireframes as scaffolding.

They took our ideas, theories and sketches and turned them into designs and then finally a working app. We brought many complicated problems to them and they always found creative and practical solutions. The app has been iterated on numerous times with thorough QA taking place throughout the entire journey.

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

We have had ongoing collaboration mostly with Dan the CEO and the project lead assigned to our app. We have had a few interactions with some of the engineers working on the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Within 6 months we have a working app in the TestFlight environment and are very close to a hard release of our MVP. We have had Beta testing with most feedback being extremely positive.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The team were both relaxed and professional from the outset. They were willing to share experience but never overbearing. Both the CEO and the project lead were always willing to have a conversation whenever clarification was needed. Both email and slack were implemented effectively. The team at App makers always gave estimates for both cost and time whenever we decided to shift the goalposts.

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

There have been a few aspects that have impressed me greatly. Firstly, the willingness for Dan to pick up the phone and have an honest conversation. He always wanted to make sure we were happy with the service being provided. I have also been impressed with the teams ability to solve some rather abstract problems. For example, developing an AI player for a game that they'd previously never seen before.

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

I'm sure if we were to start to project again, it would look differently. But that has been the journey, it needed to be fluid and flexible. App Makers have been agile with the ability the adapt at short notice. Time zones are always tricky to negotiate.
