ChopDawg developed a web app for a legal service provider. They built the platform using various technologies and incorporated payment tools for bank account access and net worth analysis.
Though it has not launched to the market yet, the app fulfills expectations and was delivered on time. The ChopDawg team was attentive and proactive as they consistently found and solved issues. Although more QA could be helpful, their team of strong developers produced high-quality work.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the co-founder of Accelestate. We provide a platform for legal services to make wills, track net worth, and other tools.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with ChopDawg?
We hired ChopDawg to develop the entire application for us. After an unsatisfying experience with a previous developer, we wanted a team to create a functional product.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We provided their team with our designs for the platform. They created the web app using a range of technologies, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. Their developers handled all backend and database creation. They integrated Plaid into the system so users can connect their bank accounts to the program.
What is the team composition?
They provided two project managers and a lead developer. There were also a few others working with us.
How did you come to work with ChopDawg?
We began looking for a company with experience in our industry and followed a recommendation. After reaching out to ChopDawg, we knew they were the right choice because of their expertise and pricing.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent around $50,000 on the project.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working together in August 2018 and we’re about to launch the app.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Because the app isn’t live yet, we don’t have any specific metrics. However, ChopDawg did a great job building the product and knowing the technical limitations.
How did ChopDawg perform from a project management standpoint?
We had biweekly conference calls and primarily communicated through email and phone. They were available for changes and other needs.
What did you find most impressive about them?
We appreciated that their team was vigilant and brought issues to our attention. They guided us through the project and we’re pleased with our experience.
Are there any areas they could improve?
It’d be helpful if they improved their QA process so we didn’t have to do as much on our end.

ChopDawg built a mobile app prototype for a medical training program. They created 200 screens to show various scenarios and tested the prototype with medical providers.
The in-house team presented the prototype at a national convention and the feedback from industry leaders has been overwhelmingly positive. Going beyond the scope of work, ChopDawg helped accomplish all goals, while their ability to address issues quickly helped the project go smoothly.

client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the CEO and founder of Steps Insitu. We provide scenarios and educational programs for medical professionals, training them for high-risk deliveries and natal situations where they need interventions. Our program is an open-ended software that unfolds differently based on a user’s situation.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with ChopDawg?
I needed a vendor to help me build a non-functional prototype for my mobile application. I wanted to use it to seek out funding and investors.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
They designed a prototype in InVision. Initially, I wanted to build five or six different pathways to show what the application could do, but we went above and beyond what the contract originally stated. We ended up creating 200 screens instead of 10, so I was able to run a whole scenario without any coding. They also tested the prototype and dealt with a group of medical personnel, pushing the current technology past its boundaries.
What is the team composition?
I mostly worked with one designer.
How did you come to work with ChopDawg?
It was my first experience developing an application, so I was looking for a local company. I wanted to be able to have a face-to-face meeting with their owner, get their ideas, and learn from them. That was the main reason I chose them.
How much have you invested with them?
I spent about $20,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
I worked with them between September 2018–January 2019.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I recently attended a National Convention for the American Academy of Pediatrics. I was able to share a poster presentation based on the application use for education resuscitation program. I provided a couple of screenshots, demonstrating what my application looked like and the feedback was very positive. People liked how clean and easy to use the interface was. The response from the leaders in the field was also very favorable.
How did ChopDawg perform from a project management standpoint?
We communicated back and forth via email or phone almost every other day to make sure the project was going smoothly. We also used UberConference to stay in touch. They were very responsive and quickly addressed any issues that came up.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They were very patient and accommodating to my last-minute changes. They really went above and beyond to meet my needs.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can't think of anything. It was a bit rough at the beginning because they didn't have any medical background and I didn't have their level of technical skills. But we worked through all the challenges successfully.

ChopDawg.com helped a startup design and develop a first to market cuddling app for iOS. They built wireframes, designed the entire app, coded and developed it, and fulfilled Apple Store requirements.
After the launch, ChopDawg.com helped increase market visibility through their network of connections, which led to a successful acquisition two years later. The partnership was framed in mutual respect, communication, trustworthiness, and a willingness to go the extra mile.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm currently a partner at a venture capital firm in the Silicon Valley area. I'm also the founder and CEO of a spatial computing company in Menlo Park.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with ChopDawg.com?
When we engaged them, I was working at a startup. My co-founder discovered brick and mortar cuddling shops during a trip to Japan. We decided to make a first to market cuddling application for iOS. We didn’t have any iOS developers on staff, so we considered our options outside the company.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
The app was for iOS only. We came up with the idea, but they did everything else. Their involvement included wireframes, the entire design, coding, development, fulfillment of Apple Store requirements, and working with AWS. From conception to rollout, they supported us through every step of the process. Once we launched, they stuck around and resolved any issues we had with version updates or bug fixes. They were always willing to help, even after their contract was done.
What is the team composition?
In all, we worked with three or four full-time developers and engineers, including a full stack developer, backend specialist, and a few other team members. They were committed throughout the whole duration of the project.
How did you come to work with ChopDawg.com?
After we decided to use a vendor to help us build the app, we met with over 25 teams over the course of three months. ChopDawg was very sharp and hands-on, so we had a follow-up call with them. They flew cross-country to meet with us face to face, so we knew they would go out of their way to help us. Their excitement, passion, and intelligence were all factors in choosing them as a partner.
How much have you invested with them?
We were one of their first iOS projects, so we got a good deal. In all, we spent less than $50,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
The project started around January 2013 and took less than nine months to complete.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Once we launched, ChopDawg went out of their way to reach out to their network about our app. We were featured on several big sites and market headliners. With their help, we saw a lot of organic growth and significant product virality. They weren’t required to do that, but they took extra steps to help us go viral. Thanks to that early success, we were acquired two years later.
Aside from the parameters of the collaboration, they taught us a lot about every step it takes to build an application. We gained a tremendous amount of respect for them and still have a good relationship with them. They’re always happy to help us and our communication is great.
How did ChopDawg.com perform from a project management standpoint?
We were completely pleased with their communication overall. They sent us updates on various platforms and made sure everything was user-friendly and easy to use. If we didn’t understand something, they sent screenshots or walked us through tutorials. When we had a question or needed help, I could email, text, or call them and would get a response almost immediately, even though we’re on opposite coasts.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Communication was amazing, and they solved a lot of the problems we faced as a startup. They were incredibly trustworthy, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for them. If we ever proposed a deadline that was unreasonable, or if we had an idea that wouldn’t work, they leveraged their experience and offered more realistic alternatives.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I only wish they were closer to us. They’re a solid team.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am the CEO of GyftMasters, a gifting app for people to exchange presents, food, or drinks.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with ChopDawg.com?
Once our app goes live, we wanted to make sure the transactions between users didn’t burden us with added fees. We needed someone to help us build the app from scratch for both iOS and Android.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
They’re building a prototype and doing all the coding. We provided them with the scope and they created wireframes and structural elements from scratch. Everything is coming up from nothing, so their responsibilities include the UI design, coding, data storage, and automation. When the prototype is finished, we’ll convert the engagement to full development for both operating systems.
What is the team composition?
Right now, we’re working with a project manager and a designer.
How did you come to work with ChopDawg.com?
We did a web search for companies with favorable reviews. Once we had an idea of who we wanted to work with, we did another search to check if there were any negative reviews that might impact our work together.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent $15,000 so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
The project started in July 2018 and is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I love what they’ve created so far. We’re excited to get into production to see how the app will work and are looking forward to full production and launch.
How did ChopDawg.com perform from a project management standpoint?
The team is awesome and they always follow up with us. We communicate through phone, email, and UberConference, and we do a lot of screen sharing.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re all on the same page and operate with full transparency. Every step of the way is clear and we know where we’re going. Companies we worked with previously were never as responsive or proactive. They give us full schedules ahead of time and reach out to us before we notice any issues or discrepancies.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I don’t have any problems with them. We met in person several times before we began and they never asked for any payments until we started to build the prototype.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Reach out to them. They're well versed in app development.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the CEO and founder of a company that's in the process of creating a mobile real estate app that automates the purchasing and selling for individuals without the need of a real estate agent.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with ChopDawg.com?
My partners, advisers, and I tried to create an app, but didn't have the technical expertise to create a usable platform, so we were looking for a developer to help us bring our idea to life.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
ChopDawg is designing a mobile app on iOS, including both front end and back end development. Once that version is completed, we plan to work with them to build an Android version a well.
What is the team composition?
We work with two full-time dedicated staff on their team and a project manager. We've also been in touch a lot with Joshua (Founder, ChopDawg.com).
How did you come to work with ChopDawg.com?
We looked for top mobile app developers in the local area, from Philadelphia to Boston and Washington, DC. After a lot of research, we narrowed our list down to 10 firms and starting calling and meeting with each one. Out of the five proposals we received, we were most impressed by ChopDawg's approach. They weren't the cheapest vendor, but they did the best job of taking the knowledge of what I shared with them about our business and model, incorporating it into a scope of work that was above and beyond what I expected.
How much have you invested with them?
We invested $100,000 in the iOS version of the app.
What is the status of this engagement?
We signed an agreement with ChopDawg in March 2018 and started working on the app in early April.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
ChopDawg's team provides invaluable feedback that's significantly improved the overall design of the app. They contributed greatly to the design and flow of platform, incorporating features that we never would've thought of.
How did ChopDawg.com perform from a project management standpoint?
The team's level of openness in communication has been excellent. Their approach is very collaborative and proactive. Our project manager has been great about managing deadlines, arranging weekly calls, and sending follow up emails to make sure everyone's on top of tasks.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Everything's been fantastic thus far. I can't think of anything they could improve upon.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the marketing manager for an award-winning home remodeling company that specializes in kitchens and bathrooms.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with ChopDawg.com?
We wanted to create a CRM system to help with day-to-day operations.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We wanted the application to include a number of features to help us stay in touch with our clients. It needed to include a scheduling function so we could coordinate consultations between our clients and designers. Additionally, it needed to assist with 3D modeling throughout the course of any given project. We’ve worked closely with ChopDawg’s designers and developers to outline the look and feel of the system.
What is the team composition?
We were assigned a project manager, two interface designers, and developers.
How did you come to work with ChopDawg.com?
Choosing a developer is not a decision to be made lightly, especially when part of the project will be done remotely. We conducted extensive research, finding ChopDawg and a few other companies through Google.
After meeting with Josh Winkles [Chief of Staff, ChopDawg.com] and his team, our decision was easy. They seemed to be on a completely different level than the other vendors we’d spoken to.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in November 2017 and our relationship is ongoing. We’re on schedule to complete the project in the fourth quarter of 2018.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
On our end, one of the biggest challenges has been staying within the scope. When building a CRM, there are a lot of moving parts to keep track of, on top of the fact that I still have to run my business. ChopDawg has played a crucial role in keeping the project on schedule and ensuring that we focus only on features we really need. They’re a reliable resource.
How did ChopDawg.com perform from a project management standpoint?
We have the contact information for everyone on our team and communicate through phone, email, and text messages. They’re also available at all times through Slack. Our project manager is always very responsive. They keep us updated throughout the week and we’re able to provide feedback as needed.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They really care about the success of our application, which is important when investing the time and money necessary to build a complex system. You can hear their passion when they talk about the project.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They’re doing an excellent job. Thanks to them, we’ve even adopted Slack for our own internal use, as we found it to be more efficient than our previous project management tool. They’re a great option if you’re seeking development work.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Think carefully about the features you need to include. ChopDawg helped us scale back so that we focused on the necessities, but the more prepared you are, the better the outcome will be.
