After meeting online with several providers, The Coder Spot were the only one with related experience in the same type of apps and suitable budget.

First they showcased suggested designs for the UI with no colours or graphics, took 2 weeks to be completed with all the required pages and functions, then another 2 weeks to agree on the colour palette and graphical designs for the UI. The development stage took 9 months, it included several modifications, testing, and deployment of the functions needed in the app. Finally one month for documents preparation.

We only contacted 4 people, The PM, two Technical engineers and one PR. The details of the actual team working on the app were not shared.
