Topflight Apps

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the founder of RocketMath. We produce various curricula to help students learn basic math, facts, and information. We have a couple of apps, as well as paper-and-pencil programs that homeschoolers and teachers can access.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Topflight Apps?

We wanted to produce an online game that students could play on various devices in order to practice at school and at home. Further, we wanted to give teachers and parents the ability to monitor progress.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We based the design of the web app off of our existing iOS app. We held several sessions for discussing features, and they helped refine the scope of the project into something that I was able to afford. We gave parents and teachers the ability to track progress, and we added multiple learning tracks—which included more challenging assignments than the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

What is the team composition?

We worked closely with their group of developers, but the founder was involved in the beginning stages and later on as necessary.

How did you come to work with Topflight Apps?

They responded to my RFP, and they were clear and responsive. They didn’t try to upsell me on anything. They sought to provide me only with what I needed.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in January 2017, and the web app was completed in July 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The web app has been live for about a month, and we are finding that people and schools want to buy it and use it. The fact that it exists and it works and people are buying it is promising.

How did Topflight Apps perform from a project management standpoint?

They provided regular updates, and they were willing to clarify all actions during the development stage. We worked mostly with the developers, but the founder was always available.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were allowed to work directly with the developers so that the project progressed quickly.

Any advice for potential customers?

They provide good value for the money. They are reasonable and do not promise anything over-the-top that your project doesn’t need.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the COO of a healthcare startup.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Topflight Apps?

We needed a prototype of our web application, both as a proof of concept but also as a tool to demonstrate our capabilities to customers and investors.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They provided the design of the UX and UI. They developed the code base and implemented it. I provided some specifications of wireframes, but they were able to create mockups and work with it end-to-end. The platform is based on Laravel and uses PHP. It allows doctors and their staff to review patient information and provide feedback on the status of patients and what kind of care they may need.

What is the team composition?

I worked with two developers and a designer. Topflight’s CEO was involved as well but to a lesser extent.

How did you come to work with Topflight Apps?

A colleague of mine connected with them on Upwork or a similar platform. He collected all provider options, and I managed the selection process. They stood out because they are a full-service shop and had a demonstrated emphasis on design and implementation. They also had a familiarity and background with healthcare technology.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $25,000 and $30,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2018, and the product was delivered in April. The prototype is being used as a training tool to onboard our clients to our systems. We also use it for customer demos and in discussions with investors. The full and functional version is still in development with our in-house team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In part due to the quality of the prototype, we’ve had between 10–15 customers advance to the contracting phase of our onboarding process.

How did Topflight Apps perform from a project management standpoint?

Across the board, they were on time. Both developers were talented in terms of content production and quality feature development, but one was a better project manager and communicator than the other. We usually used Google Documents and email to communicate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They have very talented in-house designers. That was clear in the selection process, and they delivered on their potential.

Are there any areas they could improve?

In terms of the technology stack they used for our project, Laravel/PHP, it’s considered a little outmoded – but this was in part due to budget considerations, and I appreciated them being mindful that our tech spend is limited since we are a small company.

Any advice for potential customers?

It’s best to pay close attention to striking the right balance of how much you put on yourself versus how much you put on them. At the outset, I would do the wireframes, really map them out, out of concern that they wouldn’t deliver what I wanted if I wasn’t specific. But they were talented and often filled in the gaps I didn’t know where there. Eventually, I gave them more white space to work in. I had to realize that UX is not what I do, it’s what they do, so it’s best to trust them.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the director and founder of TMJ Sleep Therapy Center of San Francisco.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Topflight?

I wanted to develop an app that would facilitate patient data extraction and help patients connect with their doctors.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Many of my patients desperately needed a way to keep a daily log of their symptoms and connect with their doctors. The chronically ill patients especially feel like society has left them, or that they are a burden, and the app allows them to communicate with a doctor and not be brushed off or pushed around.

Topflight helped me create an iOS and Android app where patients could keep a daily log of their symptoms to substantiate how severe their symptoms are and how much they are progressing. This produces more accurate data and reduces the subjective quality in diagnosis and treatment.

Users receive a daily push notification on their phones at 7:00 pm and input how their treatment is going and the severity of their symptoms on a scale of 0–10. The app keeps an accurate log of how patients are feeling, as opposed to them trying to think back and remember their symptoms from weeks ago. With the information the app collects, we can also collect and compare treatment data from different centers to identify the most effective approaches for certain symptoms.

What is the team composition?

There were quite a few engineers and developers working behind the scenes. Our main point of contact was the frontend developer, who we spoke with on a weekly basis.

How did you come to work with Topflight?

One of my patients worked with Topflight for his own business. He had a great experience and recommended them to me. This patient actually helped me on the project. I explained to him what I wanted, he wrote a proposal, and he used his existing business relationship to meet with them and help me achieve my business goals.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $25,000–$30,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with Topflight September 2017, launched the app on Google Play and the Apple app store a few weeks ago, and have an ongoing relationship for updating the app and adding more features as needed.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Overall, we’ve gotten positive responses and feedback. Even though we launched a few weeks ago, patients have already started downloading and using the app and commenting on how self-explanatory it is; Topflight made it simple and easy for anyone to understand. Our patients that have downloaded the app now use it as their primary form of communication with the office, which has reduced the workload in terms of phone and email.

How did Topflight perform from a project management standpoint?

I have dealt with many contractors in my business career, and Topflight is by far the most professional and responsive I have worked with. They’re prompt, give regular updates, answer emails—our main form of communication—within an hour if not right away, and work incredibly hard to fix any problems.

We had an issue where the app was sending out four push notifications instead of one. I noticed this on Saturday, and by Monday morning they had it back to normal.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They spelled everything out at the beginning, fulfilled every promise, and were honest about the cost. In every other working experience I’ve had with contractors, I’ve been hit with hidden or additional charges. With Topflight, I paid exactly what had been agreed upon.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I would tell them to keep doing exactly what they’re doing. I was very lucky to find them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Know what you want, put it in writing, make sure you communicate clearly, and don’t second-guess yourself. Topflight is professional and will give you whatever you ask, as long as you’re clear on your needs. Clear communication from the beginning will save a lot of trouble.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the EVP of Engagement for a branding firm.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Topflight Apps?

We were working on a global rebrand for one of our clients, and we needed help with the web design element of our deliverables. We were already working on a new identity, logo, and look and feel, so we decided to reach out for the website design piece.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They helped us with the UX and UI of a new website, for both mobile and desktop. We briefed them on the project, and they immersed themselves in a lot of information, in terms of the brand identity we’d already created. We started out agreeing on what the UX was going to be, going over a couple of different design ideas, and then narrowing it down based on client feedback. They didn’t do any content creation, but that handled all of the visuals for the site.

What is the team composition?

We mainly dealt with the project lead and a designer.

How did you come to work with Topflight Apps?

I’d known them for about a year, and I was looking for the right project to engage them on. I really liked and connected with the owner, and I wanted to see them in action. This project had a great-sized scope and was in our core competencies, so we went with them. Originally though, we liked how collaborative they were, because that’s how we like to work.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from February to March 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They were able to jump in, understand the brand, and deliver the UI and UX in about six weeks, which was really impressive. Especially considering the pressure we were under.

How did Topflight Apps perform from a project management standpoint?

We collaborated via text, email, and video calls, and they were highly communicative, often responding within minutes. The end-client was in a different time zone, but Topflight was really flexible in terms of working and collaborating with us, even if it wasn’t during the typical workday.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were really easy to work with, which is rare with creative firms, and especially so when you talk about design. They were open to feedback and were very collaborative. In terms of response time, they were able to turn things around really quickly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

If this had been a larger scale project, I would say that should have utilized a project management tool where we could see our progress. For this particular project, it wasn’t needed, since we also had a short turnaround, but on other projects, I would recommend for them to use one if they don’t already.

Any advice for potential customers?

You need to find someone that has the same kind of work ethic as you, in terms of response times and availability. We’re available to our clients at almost any time, and Topflight made themselves available to us. Having that same perspective, in terms of customer service and experience, is important.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the owner of David's Bot, a media company. I have a website that provides a therapy bot called David's Bot.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Topflight Apps to accomplish for David's Bot?

The goal for Topflight Apps was to create a closed-in therapy bot called David's Bot.

SOLUTION

Can you describe the scope of work Topflight Apps handled for your therapy bot project? Please include the main deliverables if you can.

Topflight Apps provided a team of experts for the project. One team member, Preston, designed the algorithms for the word content of the bot. Another person or team transformed the written words into voice. Ana designed the visual scene. Another person put together the landing page, and Anastasia coordinated the entire project. They built the bot for me, as I already had a website.

How did you find Topflight Apps?

Online search.

Why did you choose Topflight Apps over other options you considered for developing your therapy bot website?

I chose Topflight Apps because they were a great culture fit for my project.

When did your project with Topflight Apps start and end?

The project started in January 2025 and ended in June 2026.

Roughly how much money have you spent on this project with Topflight Apps?

$50,000 to $199,999.

How many teammates from Topflight Apps were assigned to your therapy bot project?

6-10 people from Topflight Apps worked on the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from your project with Topflight Apps that showed progress or success for David's Bot?

The words and content were created and deposited. The algorithms analyzed and produced answers to user-submitted questions. The voice was designed for the avatar to answer questions. The avatar, set, and movements of the avatar and the dog, along with the fireplace, were all designed. The landing pages were also designed. Each of these had a timeline, and Anastasia managed timelines and expectations well. We did not track specific metrics or user feedback, as the marketing project was transferred to another contractor. I continued collaborating with the team until I was satisfied with the results.

What was your primary form of communication with Topflight Apps during the project?

Virtual meetings.

How would you describe Topflight Apps’s project management? Did they deliver on time?

They did not always deliver on time, but my vision for the project kept changing and the team adapted very well to my changing expectations.

What did you find most impressive or unique about working with Topflight Apps on your therapy bot website?

Anastasia was great to work with. She was honest, tried to save me money, and guided my expectations. She delivered what she promised, and when I was not satisfied, she came up with better solutions, even if it meant a higher cost. She adapted well to my growing demands and expectations.

Is there anything Topflight Apps could have done better or differently during the project?

I felt I was misled in the beginning about what could be achieved for the cost and how long it might take. However, my vision and expectations also grew during the project. Anastasia tried to get me to be satisfied with a more affordable solution, but I was not easily satisfied. In the end, the product was amazing, and I was very happy.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the founder of Hekavor, an AI-assisted primary care company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Topflight Apps?

We were looking for a vendor that had delivered HIPAA-compliant apps in the healthcare space. We also wanted to work with a team that could be independent and matched our culture and speed.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Topflight Apps has built the first production version of our product, an automated physician-level history-taking tool that also produces an accurate working differential and chart-ready note for the physician. The deliverables have been an LLM-augmented system with two apps — one for the patient and one for the physician. Topflight Apps has handled both the design and development of these apps.

What is the team composition?

We've worked with 2–5 teammates from Topflight Apps.

How did you come to work with Topflight Apps?

We found them through an online search. Based on other vendors, while Topflight Apps was not the cheapest, we felt most confident in their ability to deliver our requirements in the timeline we had. Additionally, their CEO was very responsive and flexible with our engagement terms.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in December 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We had a clearly defined deliverable, and Topflight Apps achieved that deliverable on time. The deliverable was a fully working app with certain core features that we had agreed on. The app needed to be ready for a conference so we could sign people up for trials. We have around 10 people interested in learning more before officially signing up, and we have calls scheduled over the next two weeks with several of them.We had a core set of features that we needed working bug-free. We did internal testing (not Topflight Apps employees) to verify those features were working as expected before the conference.

How did Topflight Apps perform from a project management standpoint?

They managed the project well. Part of it was also us ensuring we were not adding features that might compromise the timeline, so it was well managed from both sides. We mainly communicate through virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I find it very easy to work with them. It's easy for me to get my thoughts, ideas, and feature requests across to them. Then, they do a good job of implementing those in a timely manner. Communication is very open. I feel like they're just an extension of my team. I have direct access to engineers (which I I use sparingly) and the code base. So, we've come up with an effective collaboration style.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There are some collaboration features that we need to improve. Specifically, we control the LLM prompts, and right now, we don't have a frictionless way to push updates. In hindsight, we should have set that up better.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Topflight Apps took an idea from my head and turned it into a fully functional app. It’s a niche budgeting tool that is faith-based and designed for high school, college, and beyond. Every feature I proposed was discussed, assessed, designed, and developed.

What is the team composition?

We worked with approximately five teammates from Topflight Apps.

How did you come to work with Topflight Apps?

We found Topflight Apps through an online search. The team took the time to deeply understand what we were trying to build, while other developers seemed to have cookie-cutter services.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from October 2024–July 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Topflight Apps delivered a successful product. The project manager routinely provided me with a roadmap, outlining specific deadlines and progress made. We received positive feedback from users after the app was launched.
