Since 2012, we've designed, built, and shipped more than 400 apps for startups, mid-market companies, and enterprises including Luck Stone, Dominion Energy, and Groome Transportation. We build native iOS and Android apps, cross-platform React Native apps, and the backends and integrations that support them — REST and GraphQL APIs, cloud infrastructure on AWS and Firebase, third-party system connections, and analytics and attribution stacks that show what's actually working after launch. Our engagements start before the first line of code. We run discovery and scoping to pin down requirements, define a realistic MVP, and produce a specification your team and ours can both build against. From there we handle UI/UX design, development, QA, App Store and Google Play submission, and ongoing maintenance and feature work. Most failed app projects don't fail in engineering. They fail in a vague scope up front, or in a prototype that was never hardened for real users and real load. We're built to prevent both. 4.9 rating on Clutch. Fixed-scope proposals. Senior engineers only — no offshore handoffs. ## Company Information - Minimum project size: $50,000+ - Hourly rate: $100 - $149 - Number of employees: 10 - 49 - 3 Locations: - Glen Allen, VA (Headquarters) - Denver, CO - Charlotte, NC - Founded in 2012 ## Services, Focus Areas, Industries, and Clients ### Service Lines - 40% Mobile App Development - 10% AR/VR Development - 10% Application Management & Support - 10% Custom Software Development - 10% IoT Development - 10% Wearable App Development - 10% Web Development ### Focus Areas - Mobile Platforms: - 30% Android App Development - 30% iPhone iOS App Development - 20% Hybrid & cross platform apps - 20% iPad iOS App Development - Mobile Focus: - 20% Productivity Mobile App Development - 14% Enterprise Mobile App Development - 10% Business Intelligence Mobile App Development - 10% Health & Wellness Mobile App Development - 10% Social App Development - 10% Travel & Lifestyle Mobile App Development - 5% Field Operations Mobile App Development - 5% Financial Mobile App Development - 5% Learning & Education Mobile App Development - 5% Mobile Commerce - 5% Sales Enablement & CRM Mobile App Development - 1% Consumer Mobile App Development ### Industries - 5% Gaming - 5% Education - 5% Government - 15% Manufacturing - 10% Consumer products & services - 5% Automotive - 10% Energy & natural resources - 5% GPS, Navigation & GIS - 5% Retail - 10% Medical - 10% Business services - 5% eCommerce - 10% Supply Chain, Logistics, and Transport ### Clients - 40% Small Business (<$10M) - 35% Midmarket ($10M - $1B) - 25% Enterprise (>$1B) ## Pricing Snapshot Average rating for cost based on this provider's reviews: 4.8 out of 5 **What Clients Have Said** *(This summary is based on verified Clutch reviews.)*: NS804 offers competitive pricing with project costs ranging from $4,500 to over $400,000.

They integrated Stripe for in-app payment processing and developed the solution's backend. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** COO, paddleBOX - Industry: Recreation - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Sep 30, 2024 **Feedback Summary**: NS804 delivered an app that seamlessly integrated with the client's hardware and served as the backbone of their operation. The dedicated team went the extra mile to deliver on time and according to the client's requirements. Their proactive problem-solving and ability to anticipate needs stood out. ""Their dedication to the project and ability to foresee issues stood out."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and position.I am the COO of paddleBOXDescribe what your company does in a single sentence.Automated equipment rental systems.  **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What specific goals or objectives did you hire NS804 to accomplish?Build an app for our kioskIn-app payment processing through StripeBackend rental system management **SOLUTION** How did you find NS804?Online SearchReferralWhy did you select NS804 over others?High ratingsClose to my geographic locationGood value for costReferred to meCompany values alignedHow many teammates from NS804 were assigned to this project?2-5 EmployeesDescribe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.Build a custom application that allowed our customer to rent paddleboards from our kiosk. The app collects renters information, signed waivers, and processes payments for the rentals and calculates the return time. The app also allows them to return the rental equipment and communicates with the hardware and locks in our kiosk to ensure the equipment was returned properly.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?When my business partner and I realized that we needed an app developed for our company, it seemed like a mountain in front of us we would never be able to climb. Nick and his team at NS804 basically air lifted us to the top of that mountain. After we crudely explained what we were trying to accomplish, Nick was able to guide us through the steps needed, and even made several recommendations throughout the process that ultimately led to a better app and a better user experience for our customers. The app they developed for us integrates seamlessly with our hardware, and is the backbone of our entire operation. Nick and his team went above and beyond for us with countless hours and late nights leading up to our launch in order to help us get everything dialed in. We've dealt with cheaper developers in the past, and the difference is night and day, not only in support, but the quality of the code and final product. When we needed to make changes to the app after testing, NS804 was able to do it quickly and easily because they had the foresight and proper coding to be able to make those modifications without destroying the rest of the functionality, which was not our experience with other developers. With the application being so important to our companies process, I am SO glad we didn't just chose the cheapest option for development. We would not be as successful as we were without them. Thank you Nick, we look forward to continuing to work with you for many years to come!Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?They worked diligently in getting the app developed, but the dedication they showed in the weeks leading up to our launch, pulling extremely long hours into the night to get issues resolved and to make changes was truly amazing. They commitment to getting the app perfect for launch was incredible, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a custom application. What was your primary form of communication with NS804?In-Person MeetingVirtual MeetingEmail or Messaging AppWhat did you find most impressive or unique about this company?Their dedication to the project and ability to foresee issues stood out. They were planning 3 steps ahead in the coding as they were able to anticipate our needs and potential issues before they were even brought to light in testing. Are there any areas for improvement or something NS804 could have done differently?Nothing stands out that could be improved upon. We are truly fortunate to have had them as a partner in this project and will continue to use them in the future.  --- #### UI/UX Design & Mobile App & Web Dev for Dating App **The Project** - Services: Web Design - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: July 2021 - Feb. 2023 **Project Summary**: NS804 designed and developed a mobile application for iOS and Android for a dating platform.

This app would serve as a scanning tool to allow users to scan different components of a room. **Review Rating**: 2.0 - Quality: 1.0 - Schedule: 2.5 - Cost: 2.0 - Willing to Refer: 0.5 **The Reviewer** Owner, Everseal Roofing - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Nov 18, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: Despite the great ideas, timeliness, and availability of their CEO, NS804 delivered a low-quality and incomplete product, causing the client delays and monetary losses. Their negative for direct communication after the lead developer quit the project caused inefficiencies and miscommunication.This review includes the vendor’s response.   "“The quality of NS804’s communication was usually pretty poor.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the owner of a technology company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We were trying to develop a mobile scanning app that allowed users to scan different components of a room. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? NS804 helped us with mobile app development. What is the team composition? I worked with Nick (CEO), Sonne (Project Manager & RFP Writer), David (Former Software Engineer), and another engineer who replaced David after he quit. Nick was our main point of contact. How did you come to work with NS804? I found them on Upwork. How much have you invested with them? I spent around $100,000. What is the status of this engagement? We worked together from May–November 2022. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** How did your relationship with the vendor evolve? After David unexpectedly quit amidst the project, we had to hire our own outside talent. However, Nick didn’t allow them to communicate with any of NS804’s developers. His negative response to our team’s communication with his team ultimately led to the engagement ending poorly. A lot of the information got lost, which caused an inefficient execution of the project. When we asked him to communicate directly with their developers, and he said no, we ended the relationship. Describe the impact this engagement has had on your business. The cost of this project wasn’t worth the results. When NS804 handed off the final product, the transition was of low quality. The code was very messy, and there were little to no git logs. Moreover, Nick was unable to migrate the code into our code repository. This engagement put us behind on our deadlines for delivering this technology piece, and we lost a great amount of budget because of it. Overall, Nick didn’t have a team capable of executing the good ideas he came up with, and they ultimately delivered a product with half the value we expected at four times the cost other developers would have charged. How did NS804 address the challenges that arose? Despite the poor delivery, we received no money back, and NS804 didn’t offer any solutions. How was project management handled? The quality of NS804’s communication was usually pretty poor. Emails and texts containing critical information never got answered, and that information never made it to their developers, leading to duplicate work. Is there anything that the vendor did well or that you would consider a strength? NS804 was always on time for meetings, which was great. Their team was there for us, and they were reliable. Additionally, Nick was available even during vacations and odd hours; whenever we needed to communicate with them, he made himself available via email, text, or Skype. Moreover, NS804 had good ideation and requirement identification processes for the project, and they were great at brainstorming. Throughout the project, Nick maintained an overall hopeful and positive attitude to what was possible, and he had access to other specialists who acted as advisors, which was very good. What advice do you have for clients with similar needs to yours? If NS804 doesn’t have a specific developer with the specific skill set you require, don’t engage with them. However, if Nick shows you that they have someone on his team with past history and experience, you could go for it. **Company Response** The vendor responded on December 16, 2022. While we strived very hard to make things work with this client they were extremely difficult. We took this project over from an existing team. I personally made it very clear to the client the only way we would take the project was if he knew up front this absolutely may not be possible. We conceptualized the process, did the relevant research and had a working POC for the client. The client is correct we lost a team lead during the project, however we had several others that could work in the tech stack. In terms of the hand off. It is customary to allow access to the repository to the team taking over, we offered this multiple times and were told no. The client went ahead and set up a repository that was free and could not accept all files. As such, we zipped all files up and shared via Dropbox for the new team to upload and structure the repo to their needs and standards. This was not acceptable to the client. The team that the client used to state our code is messy has no experience in the code stack we wrote in. We also were not building a product, we were building a Proof of Concept. As such you h e lots of different dead code in the repo so you can see directions you tried and failed. It is extremely valuable for the new team and the client to have this info so others do not follow dead paths. We really wish things had gone better but we went above and beyond and had a working POC that the client was scheduled and ready to share a major retailer. So the choice to move in another direction had nothing to do with the product. --- #### Mobile & Web App Development for Online Tipping Provider **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development, Web Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Nov. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: A digital tipping provider hired NS804 for mobile and web app development. They built a mobile app for Android and iOS, integrating payment via Stripe. They’ve also built a web app and now provide support. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Co-Founder, Bene Tipping, LLC. - Industry: Hospitality & leisure - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Apr 15, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: Thanks to NS804’s work, the client is running pilot programs with three major hospitality companies, having passed a vetting process. The team is efficient and adaptable, addressing issues quickly and communicating effectively via email. Moreover, they’re very responsive and supportive. "“Our end clients are satisfied with how quickly NS804 can pivot and deliver things they want."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the co-founder of Bene Tipping, a digital tipping provider for the hospitality industry. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We hired NS804 for mobile app development. Our previous provider hadn’t done a very good job, so we decided to switch companies. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? NS804 provides us with mobile and web app development services. They developed a mobile application that generates digital tipping in the hospitality industry. They added some core features, including registering accounts and payment processing with Stripe. They built the app from scratch for Android and iOS and later developed it into a hybrid mobile and web application. The app has launched, and we’re running pilot programs with hotel chains. Before starting the pilots, the hotels vetted us on many aspects, including cybersecurity. NS804 collaborated with us to answer questions about architecture and cybersecurity. They provided diagrams needed during the RFP process. The team has also upgraded the app as part of those vetting processes. Currently, NS804 is doing maintenance for the app. This is a new product for the hospitality industry, and companies want to see many features, so we’re continuously iterating on the app with NS804. What is the team composition? There are six people from NS804 visible to me, though I’m sure more teammates are involved in the background. Our main point of contact is the project manager, and we’ve also had contact with Nick (CEO). How did you come to work with NS804? We shopped around through online research, and we found NS804 on Clutch, which is the platform for this sort of thing. We read their reviews and compared them with competitors. We interviewed 3–4 different companies, and NS804 was a happy medium regarding price and quality from what we could see. We felt good about Nick and his team, so we hired them. How much have you invested with them? So far, we’ve spent around $250,000. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together around November 2020, and the engagement is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  The best matrix of NS804’s success is that we’re running pilot programs with three of the largest hotel flags in the world, and a fourth one is coming on shortly. This is a brand new field, so our product has gone all the way up to the C-Suites of these companies that have looked at and tested different options. Entire IT and cybersecurity departments vetted us for six months, and now we’re running pilot programs with them, which is telling. Our end clients are satisfied with how quickly NS804 can pivot and deliver things they want. Additionally, we haven’t had any bugs or crashes. We’ve only had device-specific issues, such as outdated Android devices, and the team has quickly addressed them. After our previous provider, my expectations were pretty low. However, NS804 is always on top of things. They’re available whenever things come up, including once when they were at an airport, about to go on vacation. Overall, we’re 100% satisfied with the work completed and the support they’ve provided.  How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? We mainly communicate through email, and we also use portals where they offload work and where we also collaborate. What did you find most impressive about them? I’m most impressed by NS804’s immediate response; they're on things immediately whenever we send them anything. This product doesn’t have a typical lifecycle; we’re going through a vetting process by hotels that are very skeptical because this is a new solution. They send us questions and requests that need to be addressed quickly, and NS804 supports us. For example, a feature had to be developed, vetted, and released within two weeks. Although they had their schedules packed, the NS804 team was able to find time and finish the feature within that tight timeframe. Are there any areas they could improve? Nothing. From my perspective, they’ve been flawless. Do you have any advice for potential customers? My advice for development, in general, is not to go for the cheap stuff; I’ve done it, and I shouldn’t have. I would also strongly advise working with someone based in your own country. I would never develop an app with a team not based on my time zone because it can become cumbersome. --- #### Mobile App Dev for Community Health Nonprofit **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Sep. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 is designing and developing iOS and Android mobile apps from scratch that allow users to locate mobile health services and educate themselves. The apps are currently being improved before relaunch.  **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Director, Vermont CARES - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Mar 17, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: The client praises NS804 for easily implementing requested changes and delivering an app that they can manage internally. Future customers can expect regular progress updates and proactive communication of any issues. They are an adaptable partner that excels with non-technically inclined clients.  ""They’ve really guided us in being laypeople in their field." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the executive director of Vermont Cares. We’re a harm reduction HIV/AIDS service organization. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? They’re helping us build a custom mobile application to increase our outreach through the creation of anonymous access points for people to locate and find our mobile van services. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We worked from scratch to create the iOS and Android features. The live van tracking is a pretty-big feature, as is the anonymous chat and the ability to request different types of services for mobile and in-office services. Users can ask for free HIV and Hepatitis C testing, as well as receive Narcan overdose reversal medication. Users are also able to easily access our hours. Finally, we have embedded YouTube videos in the app that discuss safer drug use. What is the team composition? I work specifically with three people, but I know they have developers behind the scenes: Nick (CEO), Lauren (Tester), who was original project manager, and now our current project manager. I also speak with David (Software Engineer), as he is one of the developers. How did you come to work with NS804? We found them on Google, interviewed several other companies as well, and NS804 was the only one who understood our vision and had heart and passion for it. They gave us an outstanding discount because we’re a nonprofit as well. They’re also very flexible around payment plans. This project is being funded by several different grantors. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent around $50,000, and then there’s also a $500 per month hosting fee. What is the status of this engagement? We’ve been working together since September 2020. The app should be live by June 2022. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  We tried to push the app to both stores in the Summer, but they weren’t working, so we went back into redevelopment. NS804 has been great at taking our feedback and making the app more user friendly. They’ve been great at informing us of things we wouldn’t know from a technical standpoint and what would serve the app best in terms of memory on people’s phones and how to implement features. Our whole staff can easily utilize the backend as well. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? We have an amazing project manager that keep us up to speed with a weekly report, which details what they’ve accomplished that week, what’s on the agenda for the following week, and any roadblocks. We can see the features being built step-by-step thanks to them keeping us in the loop. We work through TestFlight for iOS and a similar platform for Android. What did you find most impressive about them? Their flexibility and patience stand out, as does their expertise. They’ve really guided us in being laypeople in their field, speaking in regular terms and being extremely responsive. Are there any areas they could improve? There’s nothing that I can think of. They’re extremely happy with the service. Do you have any advice for potential customers? These projects seem to take a bit longer than you think they will because if one piece breaks, it will affect other parts of the code. We didn’t realize this, so make sure to go with the flow and trust in what they’re doing. --- #### Mobile App Dev for B2B Networking Platform **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Feb. 2021 - Jan. 2022 **Project Summary**: NS804 built the main product offering of a B2B networking company.

Additionally, they integrated payment channels into the app, enabling customers and providers to make transactions. What is the team composition? I’ve worked directly with Nick (CEO), Lauren (Bookkeeper), and Sonne (Project Manager). How did you come to work with NS804? I found NS804 online while searching for potential providers to onboard for this project. Apart from the rave reviews I read, I also liked Nick’s go-ahead attitude and thorough understanding of my requirements. How much have you invested with them? We spent between $85,000–$90,000. What is the status of this engagement? The project ran from February 2021–January 2022. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We communicated via email, Zoom, and phone calls. NS804 was on top of their project management game — they were responsive to our queries and were always willing to adapt to our staffing changes. What did you find most impressive about them? What stood out about NS804’s team was their accommodating and encouraging attitude. They delivered our exact needs and maintained a comfortable yet collaborative working environment. Are there any areas they could improve? I wouldn’t change anything about NS804’s deliverables and performance. We were highly satisfied with our partnership. Do you have any advice for potential customers? NS804 is an easy team to work with — just be prepared to contribute ideas as productive as theirs. --- #### IT Staff Augmentation for Drive Service Company **The Project** - Services: IT Managed Services - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Jan. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 augmented their internal IT staff for a drive service company. The vendor is now expected to help them maintain a higher uptime for their driver app and cloud resources.  **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Co-founder & CTO - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Nov 16, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: NS804 has completed the development of their docker containers, resulting in a cost saving and scalable design.

""They do excellent work and I would highly recommend them to anyone."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I'm the co-founder and CTO of a gig-economy drive service company. We provide on-demand, short distance movement of vehicles to various companies in the automotive and fleet industries. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire NS804? We augmented our internal IT staff with the experienced infrastructure resources to help us maintain higher uptime of our driver app and its underlying cloud resources. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? We are passionate about supporting local businesses in Richmond VA and selected them based on their skill level and flexibility in assisting startups at an early stage. Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package. They make sure that critical parts of our infrastructure remain online and functioning at all times while minimizing disruptions of any downtime. How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? We've worked closely with David and Nick over the years. Sonne keeps the project organized too. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? Completed the development of docker containers for a migration from EC2 to ECS as a cost saving and more scalable design. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? They are available over slack and very responsive to our needs whenever anything comes up. In addition, we have regular status meetings regarding the ongoing initiative status. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? Having them tackle some of the components of our infrastructure management really took the pressure off of a relatively small development team at our startup. This freed the developers to focus on their core competency, developing new features, while also remaining more budget friendly than hiring an FTE. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? They do excellent work and I would highly recommend them to anyone. --- #### Native App Dev for Tech Startup **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Mar. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 provided mobile app development services for an app to engage church congregations.

They provided frequent updates throughout the project and guided the client through the development process. They provided high-quality, yet affordable solutions.  ""I appreciated their rigorous project management and their ability to meet our budgeting needs." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the co-founder of a company that develops smartphone technology to promote engagement. We specialize in engaging church congregations. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We worked with them to develop our mobile application. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? They developed a native application for both iOS and Android. This included geolocation, geofencing, push notifications, and linking to other websites with the app. They also helped with the design. We had some sketches, but they built the wireframes and prototypes.  They continue to provide server support and manage crash reporting.  What is the team composition?  We primarily work with a project manager who liaises with the development team.  How did you come to work with NS804? I did a web search for app developers in the Richmond area. I chose them because of their affordability and ability to understand our objective.  How much have you invested with them? We invested about $118,000.  What is the status of this engagement? We began working together in mid-March 2020, and we just completed the initial build at the end of October. However, we’re still working together.   **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’re focused on simplicity because of the broad age range of typical church congregations. They provided a lot of good feedback on how to make our app more intuitive. They also encouraged us to adjust our development approach based on user feedback.  How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? We had bi-weekly meetings. The only challenges we had were with adjusting to the remote work setting in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, they always communicated clearly, especially if there were changes to the timeline.  What did you find most impressive about them? I don’t have anyone to compare them to since this is the first app development company I’ve worked with in this much detail. However, I appreciated their rigorous project management and their ability to meet our budgeting needs.  Are there any areas they could improve? It’s always important to think about how to translate concepts from engineers to the end-user. I think our project manager did an excellent job in this regard. Do you have any advice for potential customers?  Keep communication channels strong. Don’t be afraid to give them a call, they respond very quickly.  --- #### Mobile App Dev for Tipping Platform **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Feb. - June 2020 **Project Summary**: NS804 provided mobile application development services to a tipping solutions startup. They developed an app for iOS and Android.  **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Director, Bene Tipping - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jul 10, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: As a result of NS804’s work, the client was able to successfully launch its app for consumers. The team was organized, thorough, and hardworking. They went above and beyond to ensure the project was successful and work was delivered on time. ""During testing, we received great feedback from users who said the app was very intuitive." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the director of a mobile application company. We developed a platform that simplifies tipping transactions in the cashless world. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We hired them to assist with application development. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? They developed a mobile app for Android and iOS. We started the project with another company, but after about six months, the project was falling apart. The only thing that NS804 could use from the original development was the design. They had to redevelop the backend, implementations, security systems, and more.  The app has three different modules. One for the user, where they can scan QR codes to leave tips, view recent transactions, contact customer service, and edit their profile.  There’s another module for service providers where they can access the tips that they’ve received. It also allows service providers to access a QR code that they can share with customers. The service providers can also order QR code cards through the app that they can distribute to their clients. For example, a housekeeper in a hotel can leave the card behind after cleaning a hotel suite.  Finally, there’s a module for companies that’s an aggregator module. It allows a company to sign up their staff for the service. They register their employees and cover the cost of membership such as printing QR code cards. There is also a reporting functionality where the company admin can see how much each employee has earned.  They used InVision to share the screens and used Test Flight to push things out to us for iOS.  What is the team composition? Lauren (Bookkeeper) and Nick (CEO) were our main points of contact. Lauren was our project manager, and Nick acted as a partner and helped us brainstorm the product. We also had an Android developer, an iOS developer, and Amanda (UIUX Designer).  How did you come to work with NS804? We originally spoke with them before we started the development process, but we ended up choosing another company. However, after that engagement didn’t work out, we went back to NS804 because the team checked in with us to see how the project was progressing. They made the effort to continue to form a relationship with us even though they weren’t originally selected.  NS804 provided a good value for the cost of the engagement, and they wanted to form a partnership. They brought ideas on how to make our app better.  How much have you invested with them? We invested a bit over $100,000.  What is the status of this engagement? The development took place from February–June 2020.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We just launched the app a few days ago, so I can’t share quantitative data yet. However, during testing, we received great feedback from users who said the app was very intuitive, even for non-native English speakers.  How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? It was outstanding. Every Monday morning, we would receive an email that laid out the plan for the week, including what deliverables we could expect. At the end of the week, they let us know what progress had been made and whether or not they met their goals. We also had ad hoc calls when necessary.  They were able to deliver within the scheduled timeline despite a big setback we had with trademarking our name and logo.  What did you find most impressive about them? The partnership we had was the most impressive. They were an extension of our team.  Are there any areas they could improve? I don’t think so. They were truly exceptional. When we had to change our name and logos because of an issue with our trademark, they worked quickly to make sure we stayed on track. They had to train a new team member because our Android developer was on leave. Despite the extra time it took to train the new team member, they didn’t bill us for any of it.  Do you have any advice for potential customers?  Rather than just handing over the work and wireframes, talk to them about the goals of your business and what you want to accomplish. They’ll bring great ideas and insights. --- #### Development & UI Services for Retail Pricing Company **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Dec. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: To increase their bandwidth, a retail pricing company hired NS804 for development support. The team developed front- and backend components for applications.

Their flexibility complemented their project management style. They're professional, accommodating, and communicative.  ""They learn and adapt to the business." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the senior IT manager at RetailData. We collect competitive pricing data for various retail store chains across North America. We gather a lot of that data from visiting the stores and scanning the prices. We also collect a lot of web data content. That data is compiled and verified to meet our client demands. A lot of the analytics and reports come from our IT group. I support the application development here that supports our data. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We build a lot of custom UI solutions for various initiatives. We needed them to help us build a supporting application that integrates with one of our internal linking applications to ensure the information was synced and maintained in one area. Since we’re a smaller IT shop, we didn’t have the bandwidth and needed more development support to create the applications that we needed. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? The engagement required a lot of UI and database knowledge. We gave them specific instructions related to building frontend pages using Angular 8. We also asked them to use the standards we follow as it relates to how we authenticate into our applications. Since we’re a Microsoft shop, a lot of our tools and technologies involve Microsoft Azure. We had NS804 sync with another application and build backend components using Azure and .NET principles. What is the team composition? I primarily worked with Nick (CEO). How did you come to work with NS804? We went through an extensive search. After looking at other third-party options, we reached out to NS804, and they were very forthcoming. Their team does a lot of development in the areas we work in, from mobile to full-stack. We interviewed some of their developers, and we were impressed with their knowledge and willingness to adapt to our style. What is the status of this engagement? Our engagement with them began in December 2019. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? NS804 is consistently professional. Their work is efficient because they’re used to delivering short iterations every couple of weeks. It is also bug and error-free. They learn and adapt to the business. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? I’m very impressed with the project management. They use an agile methodology like us. Their team was excellent at communication, meeting deadlines at the pace we set with them. I was pleased with the updates they provided. If there was anything that prevented them from being successful, they called it out early. What did you find most impressive about them? I was impressed with their ability to adapt and be flexible. Their team was able to come in and understand what we wanted. They developed in the standards and styles we asked them to. They had no problems. Are there any areas they could improve? I have no comments. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Have strong requirements and understand what you’re asking for. NS804 is excellent at comprehending and ensuring that their clients are conformable with their understanding. They’re a strong group. --- #### Mobile App Devs for Chiropractic Consulting Company **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Dec. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 redesigned and redeveloped an existing iOS app to improve the functionality for a chiropractic consulting company.

The team was attentive and flexible, adapting processes to fit the client’s preferences. They were responsive and thorough, which facilitates ongoing engagement. ""Unlike competitors, NS804 provides a personalized experience." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the CTO of ChiroDestiny, which is a chiropractic consulting company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We looked into creating an application for communications such as sharing materials with our clients. A company built an initial application for us but did so poorly. It failed all of the time and not all users received push notifications, which was a core functionality. We wanted an agency to assess whether or not the product was salvageable. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? NS804 looked into our application and got it up and running in one day, which allowed us to show their team how we wanted it to function. From there, they put together estimates of the cost to fix the platform versus building a new one. We landed on overhauling the current app to stabilize it. Eventually, they rebuilt the iOS app so that it works exactly as expected. Their team fixed the push notification feature so that all users can receive them. They also implemented smart login credentials. If a user enters an email but has forgotten their password, they’ll be prompted with a forgot password link.  NS804 also cleaned up the backend portal that our team uses. We’re able to track information such as how many users we gain in a given month and whether they added themselves or we manually entered them. It also allows us to filter the list of users, export them, and make them inactive or active. Recently, they launched the Android version of the app. It’s in review currently, so we’re waiting for it to be published by Google Play. We have a maintenance contract with them in place and they’re working on mockups for the second version of the app. What is the team composition? Lauren (Bookkeeper) was our project manager, so I communicated with her mostly. I was also in contact with Nick (CEO) who kicked off the project. How did you come to work with NS804? We originally found NS804 on a freelancer’s platform. I googled the company and reached out to Nick outside of the platform. We had a conversation via phone and he seemed like a good fit. After he met with our two partners, we signed a contract with them. What is the status of this engagement? NS804 started working on this project in December 2019 and our collaboration’s ongoing.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  From our testing, the Android app does exactly what we want. They improved the speed of the app, which was important because we lost many users to long loading times. I have nothing but nice things to say NS804. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? We had two weekly check-ins with Lauren: the first at the beginning and the second at the end of the week. The review process with Lauren was spot-on. She sent versions that we tested and then I sent notes. She responded to them with any questions and notes about whether or not my feedback was implemented. Their team’s communicative and super helpful. What did you find most impressive about them? Unlike competitors, NS804 provides a personalized experience. Their team was also willing to work with our budget, our point of contact, and our review process. They checked in often to make sure that we were happy with everything that we received. Other companies just tried to plug our project into their models.  Are there any areas they could improve? No, I’m happy with their work and the turnaround time. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Come up with a thorough list of features that you want. You could also create a list of apps that you like as samples. Basically, the more information that you provide upfront, the faster you’ll get the results that you want. --- #### Mobile App Dev for Dog Training Company **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Oct. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 handles the mobile and app development services for a dog training company.

Their team makes collaboration seamless by quickly responding to requests and resolving issues. Professionalism is a hallmark of their high-quality work. "“They produce solutions on a professional level.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the owner and CEO of Pope K9 Services, a company that deals with dog training and breeding. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? The paper processing time for dog events normally takes hours and hours of preparation. We wanted to create a mobile app and web portal that’d eliminate the processing time for dog events. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Using mockups, NS804 designed and built the app for private use on Android. We wanted the app to function for multiple types of users — one significant group being the dog judges. During an event, a judge is able to submit real-time scoring. Once the judge enters scores on a particular dog, that data is immediately transported, stored, and recorded in the database. What is the team composition? My main point of contact was Nick (CEO). There was a student from a school involved in the project so Nick was the liaison between us. How did you come to work with NS804? We had some pre-established relationships with local web development companies and reached out to them. After explaining our concept and goals, we narrowed them down through a long process. NS804 was selected. How much have you invested with them? We’ve invested around $25,000 so far. What is the status of this engagement? Our ongoing partnership started in October 2019. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’ve appreciated the flexibility and ability to speak to them directly. They’re very responsive to our requests and needs. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? Nick made it very easy for all of us to collaborate and work together smoothly. What did you find most impressive about them? They produce solutions on a professional level. Are there any areas they could improve? During the project, it was sometimes difficult to understand the technical language. Making correspondence as visual as possible for non-technical customers would be helpful. Do you have any advice for potential customers? They usually do pretty well, but make sure they communicate clearly if you’re non-technical. --- #### Platform Integration & Dev for Craft Beer Canning Company **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Aug. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 connected the existing cloud-based ERP web app of a craft beer packaging company to QuickBooks using open APIs and authentication mechanisms.

I’m the president of the Southern Division and the head of technology. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We needed them to integrate a system that we developed in-house to QuickBooks for automated invoicing. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We had an existing cloud-based ERP web app. When they came on board, they took the code and integrated it into QuickBooks through their open APIs and authentication mechanisms. The solution is a private system used by our crews on the road and our back-office team. More than anything else, this was an integration effort.  What is the team composition? I worked primarily with Nick (President, NS804) and Lauren (Bookkeeper, NS804). How did you come to work with NS804? We tried several other outsourcing firms, but we were having trouble finding high-quality firms to handle our project. I had a friend that had past experience with their team, and he recommended them to us. They seemed very professional, so we decided to hire their team. At this point, the project has been completed. We’ve contracted them for a year’s worth of support for the system.  How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent between $20,000–$30,000 on their services.   What is the status of this engagement? We started working with them in August 2019, and our collaborations are ongoing.   **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Overall, they came pretty close to their timeline and cost estimates. From a functionality perspective, there were few bugs. The ones that were present were quickly addressed. Additionally, the userbase is extremely pleased with the end result.  How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? We ran about a month late on the project, so communication could always be more streamlined and more informative. Overall, I’m happy with the service that we were provided.  What did you find most impressive about them? They were very eager to satisfy the customer, doing whatever it took to meet our requirements and expectations. Everything was very straightforward, and they provided a quality end product.  Are there any areas they could improve? We could’ve developed a clearer plan with more testing upfront. That would’ve helped, but they were otherwise a great partner.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? To get the most out of the relationship, you’re going to need a project manager. That will best leverage their technical skills. If you have a resource to best plan, manage, and execute their technical experience, you’ll benefit. --- #### Telecomms E-Commerce Platform Design & Integration **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Aug. - Sep. 2019 **Project Summary**: NS804 developed an e-commerce platform for a telecommunications wireless hardware distributor.

NS 804 helped us choose a basic template or design that we liked and then integrated our solutions into that design and helped us design and integrate a web-based storefront that we feel represents us as an organization very well. What was the team composition? He had a team of 4 working the project. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business? We are just now launching the storefront, but Nick and his team were able to get exactly what we wanted accomplished without us having to allocate internal resources onto it. In this situation to do so would have cost my team invaluable time and resources and it was imperative it was done in a timely manner by a 3rd party but also meet our high standards for quality. All was accomplished. How was project management arranged and how effective was it? Most communication was from the owner Nick himself direct to me and my team which felt like we were a priority. What did you find most impressive about this company? Their ability to work on their toes and make changes without incessantly asking us questions was great. They were able to think on their own to help us reach the goal. Are there any areas for improvement? None whatsoever on this job. --- #### iOS/Android Development for Wine Membership Company **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Mar. - Aug. 2019 **Project Summary**: NS804 rebuilt the backend for a wine pass app from scratch, using existing creative assets to update the design and content. The app would be standalone to the brand’s main website. **Review Rating**: 4.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 3.5 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 4.0 **The Reviewer** President, Virginia Wine Pass - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Aug 29, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: Due to several unforeseen and unique circumstances, the project went over budget and schedule. Frequent team changes also compounded the workflow. Ultimately, NS804 succeeded in building the app and is now waiting for it to be approved in app stores. "“…they were always cognizant of our tight budget and did their best to work with us.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the owner of a winery membership card called Virginia Wine Pass. Our company gives our members discounts, savings, and other perks at over 150 wineries throughout Virginia. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We had a basic AppPresser app that was linked to our existing website, however, both were extremely limited. We wanted to separate the two and create a reliable app that would help us grow. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?  NS804 developed our new wine pass app for iOS and Android. After rebuilding the entire backend, they referenced our website to inform the overall content, design, and look and feel. What is the team composition?  We had some confusion because there were so many people coming in and out. Originally, I’d worked with Nick (CEO, NS804), who was fabulous and a good communicator. Lauren (Bookkeeper, NS804) is now my new project manager, but I’ve also worked with some others on and off. How did you come to work with NS804? I did a fair bit of research for a local development house before finding NS804. I looked at their previous work, talked to a few people, and collected references. When I contacted Nick, they just seemed like a good fit for us. How much have you invested with them? The project definitely went overbudget. We spent about $23,000, which is a big deal for a company as small as ours. What is the status of this engagement? The bulk of the work lasted from March–August 2019. They’ve just finished the app, and we're waiting on Google and Apple to approve it, now. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Overall, they did a really good job, and I’d hire them again. There were a lot of unanticipated issues that came up along the way, which caused the project to drag on and go over budget. These had to do with our website’s limitations and the logistics of trying to link our current members into the new app. At the end of the day, their team listened to what I had to say and were diligent about problem-solving those issues. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? Lauren did a great job. She gave me weekly email updates and facilitated communication between me and the developers.  What did you find most impressive about them? Although things didn’t always pan out the way we’d expected, they were always cognizant of our tight budget and did their best to work with us. I’d also like to reiterate that Nick did a really good job at problem-solving when something came up. If I got in touch with him about a situation, he’d handle it immediately, and I appreciated how much personal attention he gave us even though he was working on a lot of other projects. Are there any areas they could improve? A lot of our issues were due to our individual circumstances that other clients wouldn’t necessarily have to deal with. They worked around our situations really well. --- #### Mobile Application Dev for Dating App **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: June 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 designed and developed a dating app from the ground up on both iOS and Android. Their process included wireframing, UI/UX design, and coding features such as a calendar, list, and geo-locating capability. **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 4.5 - Willing to Refer: 4.5 **The Reviewer** Founder, Carpe Diem Social LLC - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Aug 20, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: The work performed by NS804 on the app has satisfied all project requirements and pleased stakeholders so far. Their team is responsive and very receptive to feedback, working quickly to address any issues that arise and streamline the development process as much as possible. ""Their team does a great job of turning around last-minute requests." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the founder of a company called Carpe Diem Social LLC, and we are a social networking and entertainment company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We worked with NS804 to develop our first product, which is a dating app. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We used NS804 as a one-stop-shop to design and develop the beta version of our app from scratch for both iOS and Android devices. They worked from wireframing in EnVision, to UI/UX, all the way through fully coding the app. The distinguishing feature that they built for us is that it features video chat before texting, so it includes an integrated video platform within the app, and then a chat platform behind that. It also has a calendar feature that allows users to schedule calls ahead of time, and then other basic dating features like profiles, match lists, criteria setting, geo-locating, etc. What is the team composition? I worked with one of their in-house designers who was in charge of developing the app, as well as with Nick (Owner, NS804). How did you come to work with NS804? I interviewed about six different companies before narrowing it down and ended up selecting NS804 because of their competence, competitive pricing, and proximity to our company’s headquarters. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent $100,000 with NS804 so far. What is the status of this engagement? We began working together in June 2018 and are continuing to do so. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We are pleased with the app’s design and capabilities. The quality of the build is very high, and it functions much better than some dating apps that have had way more funding and are at a later stage of development. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? They are quick to respond if we have any issues. At the beginning of the process, we had some issues with meeting deadlines, but it has improved significantly over time. The problem was more an issue of having the appropriate staff to manage the project, so once Nick acquired new talent it made a noticeable difference. Not only did internal continuity of the deliverables increase, but the overall quality did as well. We mainly communicate via email and call, for which they are very flexible and responsive. I am also able to talk directly with the developers to walk through any requests or issues, and occasionally one of my advisors and I will drive down to their office to meet in-person as well. What did you find most impressive about them? Their team does a great job of turning around last-minute requests. As a solo founder of a startup, it can be very difficult to manage everything and plan far ahead, so it’s really helpful to be able to send him a request for a graphic or a piece of code for an ad or something and get that turned around almost right away. Are there any areas they could improve? Any time we have any issues, the NS804 team does a good job of working to improve it, so I don’t think there is anything in particular that I wish they did differently. Do you have any advice for potential customers? It can be very beneficial to figure out a payment structure that works for you ahead of time, not just considering the business side but also accounting for the possibility of delays in development. --- #### Development and Design for Payment Services Mobile App **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Oct. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 migrated an MVP into an iOS application for a peer to business startup. The team built a back office and linked it with the iOS app. The application is awaiting launch in the App Store. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, RIVVIR - Industry: Business services - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Apr 22, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: Results are promising. The MVP received excellent feedback. Once it is available for download, the app will be an asset in the industry. While their team could be more collaborative, their professional management style is efficient. Expect a passionate team that believes in their clients. ""I appreciate that NS804 is enthusiastic about the project." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the founder & CEO of RIVVIR. We’re a startup for a peer to business model for purchasing drinks and other items at festival events. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We hired NS804 for app development. Our main goal was to build a back office and establish a link from there to our app. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We provided NS804 an MVP and wanted them to rewrite the application for iOS, using the original code. The app allows users to gather tickets to purchase items on their phone. Our team had an idea of how we wanted the transaction to take place between a customer’s phone and an iPad. They performed tests with several options we supplied them and gave recommendations on how to move forward. The second part of the process was their team establishing a connection through a unique use of technology to have the app work with the back office. They also had to build up the back office. What is the team composition? Nick (CEO, NS804) was my main point of contact. How did you come to work with NS804? We’re a startup at an incubator based in Richmond. Nick was a mentor there, and we followed up with him later socially. When it came time to build out this project, he was the perfect fit. What is the status of this engagement? Our engagement started in October 2018. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’re working with NS804 daily to introduce the app into the App Store. As of last week, we received the current version on our devices, so we’re ready for the first stage. While there are no results on the iOS app to report, we previously tested the MVP with users. The app is a unique technology for commerce and has received phenomenal feedback. In conjunction with the industry and the frustration level because of the inefficiency of POS and ticket systems, we’ve shown a substitute with this product. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? Their project management style is excellent. We communicate through phone, email, and in-person. I have a great relationship with Nick and work with him directly. What did you find most impressive about them? I appreciate that NS804 is enthusiastic about the project. Sometimes when something unique and different is being developed, there isn’t a comfort level. NS804 has the comfort level and belief to listen to what we want and build it out accordingly. Are there any areas they could improve? I think they could be more collaborative during the build process rather than finding a solution and presenting it so we can fine-tune it to our needs. It would be nice for it to be collaborative along the way.   --- #### App Development for Home Inspections Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Aug. 2015 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 built an iOS app that automatically uploads photos into reports and transcribes field notes.

The app has resulted in a streamlined workflow, decreasing clerical work and increasing appointments. The team is prompt and responsive, quickly resolving any concerns or technical issues. "“They exceeded our expectations and integrated features that I didn’t even know we wanted.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I'm the owner of Award Home Inspections, a company that does commercial and residential inspections. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? Our reports are detailed and contain lots of pictures with all of our findings, and it was taking hours to upload pictures into our program. We needed someone to develop an app that would allow us to upload the pictures as we took them on the site and automatically put them in the report. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We discussed our needs and goals with NS804, and they explained what technology could best solve our problem. We told them what we wanted it to look like, how we wanted it to work, and what features it needed, then they built the iOS app. They also incorporated talk to text, which automatically transcribes our field recordings into notes. Now that the app is finished, they provide maintenance and hosting. What is the team composition? We mainly communicate with the owner. How did you come to work with NS804? We met through a networking organization. Their owner showed me some of their previous work, and we had a good relationship, so we hired them. How much have you invested with them? Building the app cost around $13,000, and maintenance and hosting are about $200 a month. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in August 2015, and the partnership is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? They exceeded our expectations and integrated features that I didn’t even know we wanted. They solve bugs quickly and promptly deal with any technical issues.

They’re have excellent communication and are incredibly organized. We communicate in-person and over the phone. What did you find most impressive about them? They’re responsive and have a vast technological knowledge. Are there any areas they could improve?

" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I'm the clubhouse manager at Jefferson Lakeside Country Club. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We contracted with NS804 to build a mobile app that would enhance the member experience at our country club. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Our team only came to the table with an idea of what we’d like the app to feature. NS804 designed and developed the app from there. The app is built for Android and iOS and includes elements relating to our food and golf services. Our members can order food through the application and have it delivered to them on our grounds with the help of a pinpoint location feature. On the golf course, the app can be used as a range finder and also offers virtual golf games. Members can also pay their membership dues through the app. What is the team composition? We interfaced primarily with the owner and a project manager. How did you come to work with NS804? We found them through an online search, but they are also located nearby. They had positive reviews, and the owner was very communicative. How much have you invested with them? We spent between $140,000–$150,000. What is the status of this engagement? Our engagement lasted from September 2017–June 2018. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We held a soft launch with our board of governors to have them determine what bugs existed and what needed to change. That testing period and the process of fixing those issues took about a month, and then we introduced the app to our membership. We have received promising feedback from our members. They are responding well to the food and golf features. Some of our members are senior citizens, and they’re still learning how to use it, but overall they’re finding it easy to use. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? We launched the app in the summertime, which was in accordance with our goals. NS804 was easy to work with in how they organized the project. What did you find most impressive about them? They are great communicators. NS804 kept us updated regarding all of their progress. Are there any areas they could improve? No. This was a hassle-free relationship. Do you have any advice for potential customers? We could have eliminated the soft launch and ensuing testing process if we had outlined our needs in a better way at the beginning of the project. --- #### Mobile App Dev Prototype for Car Marketplace **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Apr. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 built the prototype of a mobile application using the Microsoft Power development platform.

I work directly with Nick (CEO, NS804). I’ve also interacted with a developer who is no longer at the company. How did you come to work with NS804?

They built the backend database using Realm, integrated data validation processes, and designed layout screens to mimic the prior app. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** President, True Home Reviews - Industry: Real estate - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Dec 7, 2018 **Feedback Summary**: The app received positive feedback from stakeholders, leading to more work for NS804 to build a second version. The team was highly accessible, using tools to streamline feedback and responding to inquiries within minutes. Customers can expect a skilled team that makes collaboration effortless. ""NS804 made the collaboration relaxed while remaining professional and delivering high-quality products." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I am the president of True Home Reviews. We provide data analytics to new construction builders to improve quality and customer satisfaction scores. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We engaged NS804 to build a mobile application to collect data points in the field. Our current system of gathering these data was falling short of our standards and not meeting our needs. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? NS804 first listened to our requirements. We use iPads in the field to collect data so they agreed to build the application in iOS. Our current data system sometimes lost data if a team member forgot to back up the information or backed it up incorrectly. NS804 integrated a database tool called Realm into the new application; it saves data immediately as we collect it and streamlines data validation—an important process for our business. On the frontend, the team recreated the prior app’s layout to make the system changeover easier. What is the team composition? I worked closely with a sales representative; he answered most of my questions. I also communicated with the project manager, a design team, and the backend architect of our database structure. How did you come to work with NS804? We found them through a Google search. I wanted to find a local vendor who I could meet face to face. I interviewed multiple agencies, but I chose NS804 because they demonstrated a quick understanding and a diligent work ethic. I felt nervous about engaging an outside vendor for this work, but they made me feel assured that they would perform quality work while ensuring a smooth collaboration. How much have you invested in them? We spent about $30,000. What is the status of this engagement? We worked with them from April–November 2018. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The application is complete and we’re using it internally before launching it. The app has received positive feedback from our team members for letting us record and store data more efficiently with fewer mistakes. We’re now getting ready to develop a second version with advanced features and additional layouts. NS804 is building a web portal and dashboard that will link up to the app and be accessible to us and our clients. They’re also helping us add more optimizations to the system where possible. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? They told me that I could reach out to their CEO as needed. I never did because my main point of contact was so prompt in getting back to all my inquiries. We communicated via text messaging and a few phone calls as needed. NS804 delivered layout screens through InVision, which let us give feedback directly on each screen and collaborate more easily with the design team. I found that feature highly valuable. What did you find most impressive about them? NS804 made the collaboration relaxed while remaining professional and delivering high-quality products. I felt that I could reach out to them at 2 AM and they would get back to me within minutes. Are there any areas they could improve? As they grow, I hope that they will balance delivering a high level of customer service to every client without over-extending themselves. I have been in businesses myself where we have grown too quickly and communication suffered as a result. --- #### iOS Development for User Purchase Monitoring App **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Apr. 2017 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 has designed the frontend and developed the backend of an iOS app that imports users’ purchases in order to inform them about product recalls and safety information. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CEO, Whystle - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Feb 28, 2018 **Feedback Summary**: Initial ad campaigns and user testing have both received positive feedback, thus limiting the need for beta testing prior to launch. NS804 has been responsive, communicative, and cooperative throughout. Their strategic and robust approach to a complex business objective has proved indispensable. "“Their level of involvement and ideas have both been really incredible.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the CEO of Whystle, an application that monitors users’ purchases and lets them know of any safety issues or product recalls. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We wanted to create an app that could import people’s purchases and connect product recalls along with safety information. Nothing like that had ever been done before, so there were a lot of challenges. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? They developed the app for iOS. We will expand it to Android at some point, but wanted to start with just iOS due to budget constraints. They took care of everything from frontend design to full backend development. They worked in sprints, which were 1–2 weeks in length depending on the complexity of what they were working on. We had an initial sprint when we started to do all the mockups and design. Afterwards, they started developing the backend and then moved on to the app. What is the team composition? I’ve primarily worked with Nick (CEO, NS804). I’ve also worked directly with a UI/UX developer who has taken care of some of the frontend design work. Jeff (Developer, NS804) has been absolutely incredible as well. How did you come to work with NS804? I did some searching, went to a class, and talked to a lot of people. I interviewed seven companies, but I felt like they were all just going to take what I said and do it without question. I didn’t really know what I was doing myself, so that was concerning. Before we even met with Nick, he really thought about our objectives and invested himself in the process in order to give suggestions. I felt he would be more of a partner than the others I talked to and his price was also better. It made the most sense to go with NS804 and I’m very happy that we did. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with them in April 2017 and the relationship is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Our initial ad campaign with screens has been very positive. We’ve done a lot of user testing and the app has been ranked highly. I thought we would need to do a lot more beta testing, but all the testers thought it was ready for launch. I’ve been surprised at how positive everything is.   How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? They’re extremely responsive. Nick always gets back to me immediately whenever I email him. The team is very communicative. Sometimes we disagree on the way we should do things, but Nick is very good and always explains his perspective. If I decide it’s not the way I want to go, he’s extremely easygoing and pleasant to work with. He tells you if he thinks something is a bad idea. It’s been a very good working relationship. What did you find most impressive about them? They solidified my first impression that they would invest themselves in the project. It’s been a very complicated project due to product recalls and because we’ve had to try and figure out how to present the information. It hasn’t been just me directing the project and telling them what to do. They’ve delivered an end product that is wholly different than what we envisioned. It’s actually much better because they’ve really thought things through and done user testing in order to find out what people really want. Their level of involvement and ideas have both been really incredible. Are there any areas they could improve? I’ve been really happy. We went over budget, which I was fine with, but I think they could’ve communicated a bit better. --- #### Mobile iOS Development for Social App **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Feb. 2017 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 developed a social mobile application for iOS. Working from the ground up, they incorporated the ability to leverage location services, a relational database, and most importantly, security functions. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Owner & Founder, Ironwood Creative Solutions - Industry: Information technology - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Sep 15, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: The app developed by NS804 has proven to be successful, with positive feedback from users in test runs. The team also offered guidance and supplemental ideas, taking pride in their work as they brought the app to life. They now provide full management and development as the app prepares for launch. ""I was impressed with NS804's professionalism and interest."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I am an independent product developer working on a new social mobile app called Simpatico. It connects people based on commonalities and interests, leveraging a relational database and location services to find users within 10 miles of each other if they share the same profiles. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? This was my first experience working on a project like this. I hired NS804 after interviewing several development partners. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? NS804 developed my app for iOS. As the idea person, I wasn't too involved on the software side, so NS804 had to bring my vision to life. The app incorporates standard industry security functionalities, and once connections are made between individuals, users can accept each other and communicate within the app. What is the team dynamic? I worked with Nick [CEO, NS804] and Chelsea [UX/UI developer, NS804]. How did you come to work with NS804? I was impressed with NS804's professionalism and interest. They had an idea of what I was trying to do, so I decided to move forward. I visited their office instead of doing everything over email and phone. As it was my first time undergoing this type of project, I wanted to sit down face to face. We had a session talking through the idea. NS804 provided additional ideas, supplementing what I already had. Nick was honest with me about what we could and couldn’t do and guided me in that area. The other people I interviewed didn’t really challenge me with questions. It seemed to be a one-way conversation, with them saying, “We can do it.” I wasn’t comfortable hearing this without follow-up queries. How much have you invested with them? The cost of the project has been $25,000. What is the status of this engagement? I started working with NS804 around February 2017. We had an initial rollout to test some functionalities. There were a few bugs (which was expected), but NS804 was responsive in fixing them. We’re currently in beta testing after a six-month development period. We’re correcting some small things, and I’m looking forward to having a launch in September. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Initial blind tests on the concept were positive. The test flight went out to 50 users, half of whom created profiles and saw results. It’s a simple app that allows users to create profiles and add pictures and interests, and when someone is within range, they will get a notification. I didn’t want to compete with Facebook and Instagram but only to be a supplement, letting people know when others were around. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? They are a one-stop shop and have provided follow-up software with which I can track all users based on location and other factors. We also have a plan for maintenance going forward, so NS804 is providing full management and development. What did you find most impressive about them? They take pride in their work. When we had the initial rollout, there were quite a few items I made detailed notes on and emailed to Nick. He responded quickly and identified an issue with part of the software. They had done a lot of testing, but I was seeing different results on my end. It was a little challenging, so we sat down together and realized that there was a communication issue with the developer. Some things had gotten dropped in the process, but we fixed it. Are there any areas they could improve? If I were to do it over again, I'd like to collaborate through the use of a project plan document detailing requirements and features along with tools/software being employed throughout the building phase and within the architecture of the app. --- #### Frontend App & Web Design for Video Platform **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Aug. - Jan. 2017 **Project Summary**: Using InVision, NS804 built wireframes and simulations for an iOS app that allowed users to browse and view videos. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.5 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, MyQ - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Sep 11, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: Although the app was still in the initial production phase, the prototype was helpful when pitching to investors. NS804 continually impressed with their responsive communication, straightfoward budget guidance, and business-minded approach. ""What they created for me has brought me closer to launching." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. MyQ is a startup mobile application and website for a new video platform. I am the founder and creator. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? I needed a program designer to help me create the visuals and frontend of the app and website. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? I initially needed basic wireframes done, but NS804 also created a simulation for me using InVision. The app is currently for iOS. What is the team dynamic? I worked with Nick [CEO, NS804] and Kelsey [UI/UX Designer, NS804], who helped me create my new logos and visuals. How did you come to work with NS804? I found NS804 via Upwork; Nick contacted me and gave me a short description of their services. We had a kick-off call in which I told him what I was looking for and my budget. How much have you invested in them? I spent around $4,500. What is the status of this engagement? We worked together for the month of August 2017. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Since it's still in the startup and production phase, there aren't any statistics yet. But what they created for me has brought me closer to launching. They made a good simulation that I will use to pitch to investors, which I would not have been able to do on my own. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? We talked on the phone once or twice per week, and the average call would be 20–30 minutes. The team worked Monday through Thursday and would contact me daily on their progress. They sent me visuals on Thursdays, I would look over it through the weekend, and call them back on Monday to give general feedback. Besides phone calls, we also used email and Upwork chat. What did you find most impressive about them? NS804 was very genuine. Nick, in particular, was sincere and straight to the point. Upon telling him my situation, he helped me with my budget and provided feedback on the direction I should go. Essentially, Nick didn’t just take a paycheck, he actually gave me advice. Are there any areas they could improve? My whole experience was great with NS804, and I had no problems whatsoever. --- #### App Development for Social Gifting Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Aug. - Sep. 2016 **Project Summary**: Assigned developers completed a long-delayed gift app, delivering within weeks what took another company several months to work on. The functional app is now live on the Apple Store and Google Play. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, GiftCaddies - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — May 12, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: NS804’s involvement is a game-changer, allowing the company to finally earn revenue from the launched app. The project team not only delivered as promised, they also gave strategic ideas for the app’s continued success. Another highlight is clear communication about project timelines and scope.   "“I can tell that NS804 genuinely cares about our business.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. GiftCaddies is a social gifting app that allows users to send physical items to their friends and family. I am the founder and CEO of the company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We started the business in 2014. Another company was developing the app for us, and it was becoming an extreme challenge and frustration. I don’t come from that world, so my expectations may not have been right, but I was having issues with things I felt should have been done right away. We were ready to launch the business, but, since it’s app-based, we couldn’t. We were always waiting on the developer we were using at the time. We found out that the company originally developing our app had never worked on one before. They were more of a marketing agency who saw us as a good opportunity to get into the app space. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? NS804 was brought in in order to look at what the other company had done for us, and let us know what we needed to do. We were looking to them as an expert in the field. NS804 basically walked us through the process, explaining why we were encountering our problems and what should be done to fix them. I worked directly with Nick Jones, NS804’s owner, and with his team of four people. If I had a direct question around our general strategy, I could approach Nick, who understood the project. As a founder and CEO, it was nice for me to talk to the principal of our partner company and be on the same page. For small items like a design issue with the app, I could reach out to NS804’s design person. How did you come to work with NS804? I am based in Richmond, Virginia, as is NS804. It’s a small tech scene that is getting bigger, and I had heard of NS804 by word of mouth. I also googled “best web developers Richmond,” and came across NS804’s website. I read their testimonials and noticed that they had clients from some of the big tech shows in Las Vegas. In addition, NS804 was just two miles away from our own office. I reached out to them and set up a meeting. I’m a sales and business development person, so part of why I brought NS804 in was their ability to walk me through technology like Heroku and other backend platforms. How much have you invested with NS804? Because we already had much of the backbone in place, NS804 set up an hourly contract with us. Depending on what the actual project was, we negotiated prices. As a small business owner, I appreciated being able to communicate what my budget was and never having surprise costs. There are companies that promise to work for a specific amount, only to announce that the work is a lot harder than anticipated and change the price. The total cost was below $10,000. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with NS804 in August or September 2016. We went live on Google Play and the Apple Store 2 ½ weeks after they came on board, which was amazing. We’re still live and going strong today. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement? The original company gave us an estimated timetable of 4 ½ months for the initial development, while NS804 told us the same set of tasks could be done in two weeks. People do say these kinds of things in order to get the business, but NS804 came highly referred, so we brought them in to revamp the old app. They actually did everything in two weeks, which made me realize how much time I’d wasted with the other company. After two years in development, we had zero of everything since we couldn’t get the app live. Now that we have a product on the market, we have revenue coming in. We have gone from zero downloads to a 200% increase in users month over month. NS804 isn’t completely responsible for this, but they got our app going. The metrics are on us since we’re handling the marketing with our sales reps. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? I’ve only had experience with two different companies in this business. NS804 is a 10/10 compared to the other one. I don’t know if it’s because we’re local, but I’ve always felt we have access to anything we need from a project management standpoint. If we need to have something done with the app that could take a week, we’ll know about any delays ahead of time. I can understand that things can happen, but good communication is very important. NS804 has let us know when they were overperforming or underperforming with respect to project timelines. What did you find most impressive about NS804? The one thing I love about NS804, especially about Nick, is that they don’t fall into the stereotype of app coders. They’re very good on the strategy side and provide very good ideas for the app. Not only is Nick managing his own business, but he also genuinely cares about our own beyond just wanting to get our money. People may say that this is only because they want more billable hours, but I can tell that NS804 genuinely cares about our business. They are making the app work on the backend, and they’re also genuinely interested in its success. Are there any areas NS804 could improve? As a web-based and app-based company, we need to understand that people have different devices. Nick has taken news about incompatibility a little too personally at times, like it was his fault. I’ve had this conversation with them and found that web and app developers will take things personally. As my technology partner, they need to know this in order for us to fix it. --- #### Development for Sports & Fitness Application **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: May 2016 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 provided product guidance and development for a fitness app, collaboratively managing backend and frontend design. The team now conducts updates post-publication to improve functionality.  **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 4.0 - Schedule: 3.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, Sport.ly - Industry: Information technology - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — May 12, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: Beta testers and initial users have already praised the app’s concept and features. By accomplishing the goals set for the product, NS804 illustrated their long-term strategic vision, hands-on design approach, and ongoing personal investment in the partnership’s success.  ""NS804 provided a great balance of project-driving capabilities and assistance during the process."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We’re a sports and fitness application provider. I am the founder and CEO of the company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? I was looking for a technology partner to bring the idea to life and to have a collaborative business relationship with us. We wanted guidance in order to put the vision together and continue to develop the app on a long-term basis. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? NS804 was there with us from beginning to end, starting with the initial design and vision for the app. They worked with us collaboratively in order to figure out exactly how we wanted the app to look, which transitioned into the production itself of our backend and frontend. We eventually published the app and released it into the marketplace. I primarily worked with Nick, the CEO of NS804, who was the project lead for the majority of the work. When we were in the initial design stage, I also worked a lot with his designer. Towards the end, Nick realized that he didn’t have enough bandwidth to manage all his customers, so he started to seek help from an account management perspective, which I would say was a good thing. The reason I loved working with him is that I felt like his only customer, but I know that wasn’t the case. I’m glad that he brought some additional help towards the end. How did you come to work with NS804? I didn’t want to work with a company outside of the US or with a big firm which churns out applications. I initially found them on Upwork, where I searched for different vendors and got pricing quotes. NS804 provided a great balance of project-driving capabilities and assistance during the process. They satisfied all our concerns, were based in the US, had a hands-on approach, and acted as a consultant as well as a developer. How much have you invested with NS804? The cost of NS804’s work has been around $30,000. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with NS804 in May of 2016. We reached the finish line in January or February of 2017. The project is technically ongoing, even though the app is published. We’ll always go back to it and continue putting out new functions. I’m happy to keep NS804 as a technology partner for this purpose. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement? The product is finished, but we’re still in the infancy of actually launching it. This is on me, not NS804. I need to turn it into the successful platform I envisioned. All of our beta testers and the other people who have seen the app loved the concept behind it, as well as its functionalities. At the end of the day, we accomplished the goals we set for the app. I don’t know if it’s better or worse than other options on the market, technologically speaking, but we are happy with NS804’s work. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? I loved working with Nick and find him to be a great person, but from a project management standpoint, until he brought in additional help, I was the one pushing for the answers. In the worst-case scenario, I should have been requesting less information, but NS804 was more reactive than proactive. They did fulfill what they needed to fulfill, but the communication was a bit lagging towards the end of the project. When Nick finally brought in an account manager, it became extremely helpful in terms of communication. NS804 did become much more proactive, and I think that this will be a great benefit for them going forward. What did you find most impressive about NS804? NS804’s CEO is what stands out about the company. He is personable but also has a technology background and the ability to make a sale from the perspective of a sales nerd. I don’t talk engineering, but Nick was able to relay what was going on to me, while at the same time understanding where I was coming from, from a strategic vision standpoint. For much of the time, he actually drove the conversation and guided me along the journey. I hope that, as NS804 continues to grow, Nick can still play this part but not operate in all other areas. Are there any areas NS804 could improve? There were some mess-ups on the project management side of things, but NS804’s principal was great at leading the project and providing a strategic vision overall. --- #### App Development for Temp Agency Startup **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: May 2015 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 aided the client in translating their vision of an app into a reality for iOS and Android. The app allows users to act as independent contractors while connecting with users nearby. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 3.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CEO, Temp Agency Startup - Industry: Business services - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Nov 21, 2016 **Feedback Summary**: Their ability to listen to the client and implement their skill in graphic design to execute that vision is what sets NS804 apart. ""They’ve done great work, and communication has always been there. The quality is outstanding." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We’re relatively small; we’re a startup company, and we’re app-based. We are located in Richmond, Virginia. My role is CEO. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We went to NS804 to get an app developed for our company. The challenge was getting the translation of what our vision was into the actual app. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We went to NS804 a little over a year ago. We laid out our plan of exactly how we wanted this app to be. It’s been a long road with frustration here and there, but the service that they are providing has been translating very well into a physical app. NS804 has done that very well. How did you come to work with NS804? When my business partner and I first talked about developing the app, we started looking for different developers. I asked around. It happened to be that someone sitting next to me at a bar overheard our conversation of developing this app. She said, “Hey, I know this guy, Nick.” She gave me his number, and I reached out to him. How much have you invested with NS804? We have spent between $20,000 to $25,000. What is the status of this engagement? We began working with NS804 in May 2015, and the engagement is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement? We had quite a bit of success early on when NS804 used the program InVision to create a non-functioning app initially. Nick had his design team come together and implement the logo that we had made, the color scheme, and all the screens he had developed. He took the vision that I had and implemented it into something physical. I have nothing negative to say about that. That was very well done. We’ve had a couple of releases in-house with a test crowd. For Android and Apple, we’ve had a couple of beta tests come out. There were bugs obviously because the app was not fully done, and the credit card process was not in it yet. After we had gone through a few trials, the app came together very nicely. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? We were right on target and right on budget. Once we got on the same page, communication has been very good. NS804 has kept us updated on a weekly basis and sometimes twice a week. As far as communicating and letting us know what’s going on and what progress is being made, it’s been good. What did you find most impressive about NS804? Nick Jones has a great team of people. What sticks out is the graphic design and the ease of being able to walk in with an idea and have them put it on paper, so to speak. I’d say that that separates him from other friends and colleagues of mine that I’ve talked to. With Nick and NS804, he listens very well, and he comprehends what you say. He tells the team, and it goes over very well. Are there any areas NS804 could improve? My business partner and I have both gotten a little bit restless because the timeframe that we were talking about in the beginning has gone way past that at this point. The target goal of when the app was supposed to be complete has started moving; it keeps getting later and later. I say that lightly because they just started expanding, and when we got to them, they were smaller. The clientele they’re taking on now and the different stuff that they are doing is much more time-consuming, and it’s not like we’re the only client there. I would have liked them to stick to the goals of the timeframe better. I say it with a grain of salt. It’s nothing bad, but if you want to nitpick on something, that would probably be it, but he communicates 100%. Things can be moved around, and our experience overall has been very good. That would probably be the one issue with the whole thing but other than that; everything has been fantastic. --- #### App Development for Biotechnology Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: July 2016 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 developed an IoT [internet of things] platform for the client that has the ability to stream live data from multiple devices at extremely high amounts. **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CEO, BioMetrix LLC - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Oct 18, 2016 **Feedback Summary**: Despite the challenging nature of the applications, NS804 has done a great job of reaching the end goal and catering to the client’s business need. ""With NS804, they really look to meet their goal of the project rather than just complete the scope that’s defined early on." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. BioMetrix is a wearable sensor company that leverages artificial intelligence to enhance an athlete's experience by reducing injury. I am the COO. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We needed a mobile app that would be able to interface with our wearable device. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? The app has a lot to do with IoT [internet of things] at an extremely high level, so it involves streaming data from three different centers at high rates and also streaming it to the cloud. NS804 built it all native. We're starting with Android, and they've built the solution from scratch for us. Right now, they're working to stream from three devices simultaneously, all at between 100 and 250 Hz, which is an insane amount of data to be streaming live, processing and sending to the cloud. They're doing extremely challenging applications, and they're doing a great job at it. How did you come to work with NS804? I worked for a non-profit about a year and a half ago, and NS804 found us and provided services for free, so they helped our non-profit get our first mobile app off the ground. When I started my company, we went back to them. How much have you invested with NS804? The size of the project was around $30,000. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with NS804 in July 2016, and we’re coming to a close now. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement? We're just about to close the project, and we'll be launching the app soon from which I expect to have lots of excellent feedback. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? They have good structure. We share a swap channel, and all the communication happens there between their developers. When it comes down to it, there's a lot of coordinating with the project. They're extremely responsive as well as autonomous. Early on, we worked together to design the project, and from there, it's just been checking boxes, collaborating, and touching base when need be. What did you find most impressive about NS804? They're very reliable and have a great eye for achieving the end goal and catering their process for their client. They are flexible regarding development strategy as they will cut back on some features to spend more time on others. They have a great focus. In my experience with other developers, it’s been difficult to get them to deviate from the product definition. With NS804, they really look to meet their goal of the project rather than just complete the scope that’s defined early on. Are there any areas NS804 could improve? I think it's just a challenging project. The requirements have been to meet a very high standard. With that, there have been some great barriers they've had to overcome, but they've done a great job and honestly exceeded those standards. They were faced with great obstacles, and they've done a great job of overcoming them. --- #### App Development for Technology Consultants Firm **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: July 2015 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 was involved in developing the initial idea of the client’s app, as well as its later design and coding. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Managing Partner, Dunn's Group - Industry: Information technology - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Oct 17, 2016 **Feedback Summary**: NS804 is distinct because they work well with all different sizes of organizations and provide cost effective solutions that work with any budget. ""They [NS804] stayed in constant communication around deadlines and deliverables that were supposed to be met." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. My organization is a small business and technology consultants firm called Dunn's Group. I am the managing partner. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with NS804? We do our own product development and we were looking to develop a mobile application. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We used NS804 for the design, development, and coding of the app. They also served as a consultant for us in a sense. As a consultant, they helped us to fine tune the idea and be a sounding board for us from the development side. How did you come to work with NS804? We put out a solicitation that was seen by the owner of NS804. He gave me a call, we had a conversation, and that's how we came to meet. I was looking for someone with their skill set and they found us. How much have you invested with NS804? The project was around $12,000 to $15,000. What is the status of this engagement? We had our first conversation in July 2015. We really started developing the application itself around Feb. or Mar. 2016. For the most part, it's completed. It's an ongoing project in the sense that as we roll out our initial app, it's going to be a continuous, ever-evolving product. As we start to roll it out to our user community and get feedback from our users, we’ll then go back and make adjustments, updates, and modifications. We’re going to work with NS804 on the upgrades. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement? Although we aren't officially on the market yet, the app as a whole is an improvement. We were stuck with an idea and we didn't know where to go. Being able to move the needle from zero to something is a huge success in itself. That is due solely to NS804. They were able to grasp our concept, pick up the ball, and run with it. They even provided improvements on my original idea. They provided input based on their experience of working with mobile apps. I would say that those are success metrics, coming up with the idea itself and then developing it. How did NS804 perform from a project management standpoint? They stayed in constant communication around deadlines and deliverables that were supposed to be met. They stayed within budget and within the scope of the project. In terms of timing, they were pretty much on point. They were able to inform me about any slippage in the schedule. I was never caught off guard. What did you find most impressive about NS804? Because we're a small business and we have limited resources, NS804 was very good because they are a small company as well. A lot of companies come to the table with huge budgets and if you don’t have the money, then you can't get your idea developed. NS804 has the approach that they will build the software as you acquire the money. Are there any areas NS804could improve? The only thing they can keep building on is their continuous communication. Other than that, I think they’re doing pretty well. --- #### App Development for Event Planning Firm **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Oct. 2013 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: NS804 used the client’s concept to develop an app designed to enhance the client’s presence at two large events. The project was a success and the partnership is ongoing. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Managing Partner, Three One One Productions - Industry: Advertising & marketing - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Apr 30, 2015 **Feedback Summary**: NS804 performed well for the client and delivered an app that met their expectations. The agency was praised for their direct communication style and upfront approach. There were no complaints for NS804 and they are recommended to others. ""My biggest thing was, I can call NS804 and ask them to do something, and they will be absolutely honest in letting me know if they can do that or not."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company. Our company is Three One One Productions, based in Richmond, Virginia. We are a full-service event firm, and our core business is large outdoor events. What are your role and responsibilities? I’m the managing partner and owner. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What was your goal in working with NS804? I had been looking to do some event apps. We do two rather large events in the Richmond area. One has an attendance of about 45,000 and the other about 118,000. Our challenge was getting information out to the festival attendees, which was virtually impossible once they had arrived at the event. Cell signals would die, and we needed an app to get information out quickly. When we started to investigate the cost of apps and various companies, I was flabbergasted at how much they wanted to write these scripts that were basically plug-and-play templates. I felt insulted. So, I shelved that idea for some time, but several months later, I happened to get a call from NS804 about a completely unrelated issue. I asked them to talk the app through with me and see if we could work something out. Please describe the scope of their work. We came up with the concept of what I wanted to accomplish, and NS804 took the ball and ran with it. They developed an app for those two largest events. For the first event, they created an app that allowed us to not only focus on sponsors, but also on the bands, band lineup, band submission, stage times, and push notifications. Then, they integrated a game into the app to redeem points for prizes. They also developed a social platform that included a "Find a Facebook Friend" application as well as tweets and posts. This allowed users to find out which of their friends were actually in attendance at the festival and then connect with them onsite. So, it really gave us a social element that we could then try to monetize. For the second event, I wanted an app based on the same concept, but I needed a few design and interaction changes. That went very smoothly. Again, our challenge was to get information out via cellphones. Since we finished up those two apps, NS804 and I have worked closely together, and we’re thinking about starting on a third app. **SOLUTION** What was your process for selecting NS804 with which to work? It all really started with that cold call. Can you provide a ballpark dollar figure for the size of the work that they’ve done for you? I’d rather not say. When did the relationship begin? We started working together in October 2013. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Do you have any statistics, metrics, or general feedback to show the success of the project? We don’t have a lot of data because, at the time the app was created, we were close to an event deadline. The first year, we didn’t push it at all, so we didn’t get any traction and very few downloads, maybe fewer than 100. The second year, we promoted the app a little heavier, and tried to monetize it a bit. We got another 150 or so that year. I don’t think it’s any reflection on the build. It’s more about our inability to market the apps. Is there anything unique about NS804 that really makes them stand out compared to other companies? My biggest thing was, I can call NS804 and ask them to do something, and they will be absolutely honest in letting me know if they can do that or not. I like that they are upfront and not always trying to sell me something. They are quite busy, and I like that kind of cut-and-dry, upfront approach. Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you think they could improve upon or something that you might do differently? For us at the time, I didn’t find that the design elements were as sexy as they could have been. The functionality was there, but the design side suffered a little bit in those early days. I think that’s changed since then, based on what I’ve seen and what we’ve worked on since but, initially, there was a lack in the aesthetics of the graphics. What advice would you give a future client of theirs? Know what you want before you talk to them. Have a basic idea of what you’re looking for, and be prepared to be both enthused and disappointed because what we as customers think is possible may not physically exist. Have a general understanding of what you’re trying to accomplish but be specific, and that’ll make the process with NS804 a much more enjoyable experience. --- #### Web Design for Insurance Agency **The Project** - Services: Web Design - Project size: Confidential - Project length: **Project Summary**: The client hired NS804 to provide a variety of services including back-end website development, custom app development, and assistance with geo-tagging. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Owner, Brookshire Allstate Agency - Industry: Financial services - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Apr 21, 2015 **Feedback Summary**: NS804 impressed the client by delivering quality work and contributing to the strategic process of the project, as well. The agency is praised for their vision, passion, and honesty. NS804 is highly recommended to others. ""They [NS804] went beyond what other companies do, coaching me through the whole thing and helping me get a good return on investment by sharing their knowledge and suggestions."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company. Our company is the Brookshire Allstate Insurance Agency in Richmond, Virginia. We are a full-service insurance company handling auto, home, life, commercial insurance, annuities, and mutual funds – the whole gamut of insurance products. What are your role and responsibilities? I am the owner. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What was your goal in working with NS804? We wanted to set up a new marketing tool to attract new customers. **SOLUTION** Please describe the scope of their work. NS804 has done several things for us. They helped us with some website services on the back-end for our local business association. We’re working with NS804 in three phases. First was to get the website running and second to build an app for shopping on the street where the businesses are located. Finally, we’re going to do geo-tagging, so that when people get close to certain businesses, their phone gives them an alert.   In the app world, NS804 has developed a custom application for data collection. We’re implementing an app where we can contact our referral sources at places like car dealerships and service repair shops. We essentially have an iPad on a stand, and we offer incentives for people to share their information if they’re interested in a quote. All of that information gets sent to us in real time, so we can respond immediately. What was your process in selecting NS804 with which to work? We actually looked at a lot of different companies, but NS804 came through a referral. I’m big into networking, so when I need something, I ask my circle. They came recommended to me from somebody I trust, who had done business with them. NS804 was about 40 percent lower in cost than other offers I’d been given while, at the same time, providing much more attention to my needs. Can you provide a ballpark dollar figure for the size of the work that they’ve done for you? I’ve spent somewhere between $6,000 and $15,000 working with NS804. When did you start working together? I began working with NS804 around August or September of last year [2014]. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Is there anything unique about NS804 that really makes them stand out compared to other companies? NS804 is very responsive. When I reach out to them, they get back to me right away. Even after the work has been completed, NS804 has been there to keep things moving along. If we have questions, they’re right there to help us out. Most of all, I’ve appreciated their vision and passion. We looked at a lot of people to do all sorts of different things for us, but NS804 has been very effective addressing all of those things. They’re visionaries, constantly showing me ways of doing things better. I’ve enjoyed the consultation side of our relationship, helping me get the vision out. They have been very honest and upfront throughout the entire process, giving me options to help save some money. They obviously have a passion for what they do. With our app, we can capture data all day long, but I need to know what to do with it so I can turn it into an opportunity. NS804 knew exactly how the data could actually impact our business, customizing the data it a way that would work best for me. They went beyond what other companies do, coaching me through the whole thing and helping me get a good return on investment by sharing their knowledge and suggestions. I hope their business keeps growing. Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you think they could improve upon or something that you might do differently? For me, the work took longer than I would have liked. However, they did set what was for them realistic expectations and adhered to it. Since beginning the project, however, NS804 has added staff so there isn’t as much lag time involved in making changes. Now, when I need something done, it gets addressed the same day. --- #### Mobile App Dev & UI/UX Design for Bank **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development, UX/UI Design - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Jan. 2021 - June 2023 **Project Summary**: NS804 developed an iOS and Android app for a bank.
