Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

They developed an iOS mobile application based on our provided requirements and designs. Key deliverables included implementation of the core feature set, integration with required backend/services, iterative builds for testing, and a handoff package (source code and basic technical documentation).

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We reached a working iOS MVP that implemented the planned core feature set, validated the end-to-end flow in real usage, and gave us a stable foundation to continue development.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management was organized and responsive. They communicated clearly, provided regular updates, and were quick to address questions or changes as they came up. Overall, they were attentive to my needs and easy to work with.

What was your primary form of communication with RapidDev?

Email or Messaging App

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

Their team is great to work with — responsive, collaborative, and detail-oriented. They consistently communicated clearly, moved quickly on feedback, and took ownership of solving problems without needing a lot of back-and-forth.

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

A small area for improvement would be delivery predictability on more complex features. The overall outcome was what we wanted, but one key capability took longer than expected, which extended the timeline beyond the original estimate. Also, communication was generally good, but the lack of native-English engineers may be a consideration for clients who prefer very nuanced, highly detailed written communication.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Pencil Case Scheduling Limited, a SaaS company. We’ve built a tentative booking scheduling system for freelancers and studios.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with RapidDev?

We needed help with web app development. The product required custom coding and couldn’t be built using out-of-the-box tools.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

RapidDev has developed our web app from scratch. Initially, I had a chat with one of their salespeople and showed him some sketches. We had a discussion about what I wanted, and he was technically capable of understanding what I was trying to get across.

After that, RapidDev sent me a proposal with a price range for the whole project and the core functionality. We found a middle ground that worked for both of us.

Then, we had a discovery phase for a couple of weeks. We went from my bare-bones sketch to developing the product together. RapidDev has done the UX, wireframing, and design from zero.

The app is completed, and we’ve finished testing. RapidDev is making one or two small changes I’ve requested before going live. We’ve integrated LemonSqueezy as the payment provider and Postmark for email notifications.

The app connects freelancers and studios in the creative sector. They use a system of tentative bookings that haven’t been realized and are used to plan ahead for project planning and scheduling.

Studios can reserve a freelancer’s time, and other studios can challenge this. The system automates everything, and studios can see multiple freelancers when they want to fill in a slot for a project.

We’ve decided to go with Bubble, a no-code full-stack service. Everything is contained in one place, and I can learn how to do bug fixes if needed. The hosting is done in AWS and Google Cloud.

Although the app is built in Bubble, RapidDev has done custom coding in JavaScript.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with two project managers. I assume a team of 5–10 people has worked on the project.

How did you come to work with RapidDev?

RapidDev popped up as one of the better agencies when I was looking for one. I found them on Bubble’s website. I decided to go with them because they were one of the top-rated agencies. I also recall finding them on Clutch.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $26,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in June 2025, and the engagement is ongoing. The app is now finished, but they're still making some small changes. Moreover, they've offered maintenance services for the next two months after the app gets launched.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

RapidDev has delivered the Figma designs and shown me video recordings of the app to see how it works and why. The team has been active almost every week. They’ve responded to any requests I’ve made to change things. I’ve had hands-on access to the app and have been able to experiment with it.

The UX and UI are great. The way the app works is better than I expected. I’m thrilled with what RapidDev has done.

How did RapidDev perform from a project management standpoint?

RapidDev has delivered on time and on budget. We use Jira, Notion, Google Docs, and Excel files. Still, Slack is our main communication channel.

What did you find most impressive about them?

RapidDev’s work quality is excellent. I’m blown away by the product.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There was a misunderstanding about how some things worked, but I could fault myself more for that than them because I wasn’t concise in the beginning.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Go into the project with a better idea of what you want to accomplish.

How many teammates from RapidDev were assigned to this project?

6-10 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Rapid Dev was responsible for providing full service development from start to finish. They assisted with branding concepts, coding, development, integration, Apple and Google Play connections. Key deliveries include: build an in-app community forum, connect Amazon storefront to in-app marketplace, build in-app consultation features and payment transactions through Stripe. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The ability for users to schedule in-app consultations with experts. Difficult integrations with Google Meet, Calendar, and Strip paymnet processing. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They were exceptionally responsive, and always delivered on time. There was never an extension for completed tasks.

What was your primary form of communication with RapidDev?

Email or Messaging App

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

Their company culture was very impressive. I can tell they're very organized internally. Additionally I was very impressed with how they could meet me on my level. Having no background in coding and technology, I entered this project with no basic understanding of the mobile app industry. They were always able to explain things in a simple, easy to understand manner. 

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

They can improve with their estimations. We went 46% + Over the original proposal. While some scope was added throughout the process, I was suprised at how off we were from that initial estimate. I believe there is an opportunity to study this area further to ensure better accuracy in the future.

Rapid Developers did a phenomenal job with the project and meeting all the tasks and more through the use of slack, jira, and Google meet. Fabian does did a great job managing the project while Ali the engineer dive in completed a the tasks flawlessly. This was a break & fix piece of the project which was more difficult to clean up... so I was highly impressed with how quick they were able to fix the functionality of the app along with adding new features!

DragonCandy is looking to forward to working with Rapid Developers and Fabian on the next phase of this project which is to add new features to the app. Thanks for the awesome work!

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and founder of NexRung, a marketplace connecting high school students to post-high school opportunities.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with RapidDev?

I had an MVP of a website that was too rudimentary, so I needed to update it and make it more user-friendly to go to market with it and get users on it. The MVP I created before was enough to get the interest of people, including counselors within high school students and businesses. There was enough market validation that I thought it was worth spending money to create the marketplace application website. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

RapidDev has taken my MVP and made it more of a product I can pilot and launch. Since I already had the prototype, the design phase was easy. The team has used the nuts and bolts of what I had already created and iterated off of that. For the first 2–3 weeks, I gave them all the information I had about the MVP. We broke it down and understood the flow of the website, its purpose, how both sides of the marketplace would interact, and the functionality needed.

From there, RapidDev created a proposal for the product's creation. We've had several iterations regarding features, UX, and UI.

After about two months, we moved to the QA/QC phase. This phase has taken a little longer because I see things in the app that I didn’t realize before. I want to change the flow and operational ability of the app to make it smoother on the UI side and ensure users are pleased and don’t get a bad experience. RapidDev has worked with me on the changes and improvements I want. RapidDev uses Bubble for development.

What is the team composition?

I’ve mainly interacted with two teammates from RapidDev: a client success manager and a Scrum master. The Scrum master leads a team underneath her, but I don’t know the teammates' roles. In total, I’ve worked with 4–5 teammates from RapidDev.

How did you come to work with RapidDev?

I went to school with RapidDev's founder and CEO. I saw his LinkedIn posts about the expansion and things he was doing, so I inquired about what he was building. I told him about my project and asked if he could help me out. He connected me with the team, and I went from there.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent around $25,000–$26,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in April 2025, and the engagement is ongoing. We’re finishing up the QA/QC phase before moving to the maintenance phase. I still have to decide if I’ll utilize RapidDev for the site's maintenance.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

RapidDev’s work has met my expectations.

How did RapidDev perform from a project management standpoint?

RapidDev is slightly over budget, but not by much. We’re only 5% over budget, which is expected for technology development. For project management, we use Jira. It’s a platform similar to Asana where we can get updates on specific features. 

For communication, RapidDev uses Slack, emails, and Loom, a program for recording videos. During the design phase, as they were creating the solution before it was testable as a website, they showed me the features. I could put comments right on the website. Every week, the team checks in with me to update me on the progress and what has been designed and developed. I've given my feedback consistently throughout the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

RapidDev’s responsiveness and ability to understand my needs are impressive. I’ve worked with teams before that don’t understand what I want. They try to add a feature but don’t understand the bigger picture. I like to see how a feature fits into the overall pie, and RapidDev is really good at that. The team helps me understand what I’m trying to get across.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Some platforms we use, like Loom, only work for 30 days for me to put comments in them. Once my free trial expired, I couldn’t put comments in Loom directly. I could still receive the Loom videos and watch them, but I had to email my thoughts. I put the time of the video where RapidDev asked a question or showed a feature so they could access it and see what I was speaking about. It would’ve been easier to do it in Loom itself. Once the free trial expired, I was out of luck.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Give RapidDev as much information as you can. Sometimes people hold back because they don’t know if RapidDev will understand everything they tell them or if they’ll overwhelm them. However, the team has a great capacity to interpret things. RapidDev has many customers in different industries and domains, so they have experience. The team has more business savviness than other tech people I’ve worked with before. Maximize that and give them more information. If they can’t handle it, they’ll let you know.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

RapidDev has helped us build V1 and V2 of our website in Bubble.io. We worked with another agency for visual designs, but they translated those designs into reality. They've also help us set up a fairly complex data model and integrations with our cloud database.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

RapidDev has been an incredible partner while building our website. Our needs have evolved significantly throughout of 1yr+ of working together, and they've always adapted and collaborated with us on roadmap and pricing. The site is built in no code Bubble.io, but we have some pretty elaborate data model and self service portal elements to the site, so they've really stretched what Bubble is capable of.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

RapidDev are very repsonsive: when we spot a big bug, they are always quick to respond no matter the time of day. We've really appreciated their willingness to get on the phone with us and talk through plans and tasks ahead of sprints to cut back on rework and make sure we're 100% aligned. They work quickly and are highly communicative about their timelines/deadlines. 

What was your primary form of communication with RapidDev?

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

We've been especially impressed with the project management team. Our project manager, Oksana, has been instrumental to helping us keep the project moving forward with minimal engagment on our end. She seamlessly translates our requests into tasks, asks very thoughtful clarifying questions, and has handled all of our pivots and change requests with a smile. She helps us understand the hours estimates of our asks and their relative dependencies. She runs our Jira board and conducts much of the QA testing herself, so she's so easy to debug with.

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

None. We are excited to continue working with RapidDev!

What was the scope of their involvement and team dynamic?

The Rapid Dev team helped build out the app using FlutterFlow and were involved from early development through launch. They were great to work with, always open to feedback, and willing to adapt as things evolved. I can be pretty particular, and they consistently went above and beyond to deliver what I needed. Communication was clear and consistent throughout the process. I’m still working with them on version 2 of the app, which speaks to the trust and rapport we've built.

What's the status of this engagement?

 The engagement is ongoing. We successfully launched the first version of the app, and we're currently working together on version 2 with new features and improvements.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

 How did your relationship with your partner evolve?

 Our relationship has grown stronger over time. As we navigated through development challenges and evolving priorities, they remained flexible, communicative, and solutions-oriented. That consistency helped build trust and made it easy to continue working together on future versions of the app.

In what ways can they improve?

 One area for improvement could be streamlining turnaround times during periods of heavy revision, but overall they've been responsive and committed to delivering quality work.

What advice do you have for clients with similar needs to yours?:

Be as clear and specific as possible about your vision and priorities from the start it makes the whole process smoother. Don’t be afraid to give feedback along the way; they’re super receptive and really want to get it right. Staying involved and communicative made a big difference for me

They used a low/no code platform as well as custom coding to implement complex functionality, which provide our customers a smooth experience.

Their work included the creation of user sign up processes and triggered emails based on user actions. They created several new pages on the site (public facing and private facing).
