Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Plusar, an IT company.

What challenge were you trying to address with appssemble?

For some of our projects, we need collaborators to help us develop software. For this particular project, I needed help with mobile app development.

What was the scope of their involvement?

The first project was a mobile app for a game platform. It was a fantasy football game. They helped me on the iOS version. For Android, I had a different contractor. That was a long project that took over a year to complete because of the amount of work they had to do on it.

The second project was a dating application. They’re mostly in a support tole in that effort.

The third project is a smart logbook system for logging actions based on dynamic workflows. That project is still ongoing. Whenever I have requests for mobile development, they are the first ones I call.

What is the team composition? 

I’m in contact with two developers. Sometimes one of them plays a project management role as well.

We started working together in January 2016 and still have ongoing contracts.

We’ve had a good collaboration. The quality of work has always very good, and we didn’t have any issues. 

We’ve had projects where they work directly with the client, which was always very well received with positive feedback from our clients. They’re very careful to avoid quality issues— we didn’t have any. That’s why we still maintain our collaboration with them.

They’re trustworthy and deliver on time most almost always. They’re doing a very good job compared to other contractors I’ve had.  

How did appssemble perform from a project management standpoint?

We were in direct contact with the developers. When we needed project management work as well, they were capable in managing expectations and handling management tasks. I’m happy with that as well. 

We have calls when needed. We’re well adjusted to remote working. We can easily communicate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re serious, trustworthy, and able to deliver quality. They’re experts in mobile app development. I don’t hesitate to go to them for help.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Usually, we discuss any improvement points when they happen. They’re flexible and react to our needs. I can’t pinpoint any pending improvement points. They could potentially diversify their expertise to other technologies.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You will get a serious team and high-quality deliverables from them. It’s just a matter of contracting them and the terms of the contract.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I recently started a startup called Smalk Works.

What challenge were you trying to address with appssemble?

One of my ideas was to build a suite of apps and software. However, I can’t code, so I needed someone to build out my app.

I had already drafted a product requirement document (PRD) with mockups, which I gave to appssemble. They then created a free iPhone game. People can buy coins or watch ads to get more coins.

What is the team composition?

Dragos (Co-Founder) was my main point of contact.

How did you come to work with appssemble?

I told a former colleague of mine about my ideas, and he referred me to a developer that he knew in Romania, who was Dragos. I reached out to him to see what services the company offered. I gave them my PRD and we negotiated into making it a multi-year deal. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve agreed to a €25,000 (approximately $30,600 USD) contract to build three apps. 

What is the status of this engagement?

They built the first version from October–December 2020.

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

The app passed iOS review on the first try. There were very few bugs, which was encouraging. The quality of the work was exactly what I paid for. Everybody likes the app, so far, and the feedback has been good. Some people have already begun to make suggestions on how to improve it. 

How did appssemble perform from a project management standpoint?

The fact that they completed the app in one and a half months was impressive. We used Slack for communication, and their English was up to the native level. We also used Google Docs to communicate changes and comments. appssemble was quite flexible. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’ve built their own apps and have worked with some large companies as well. Additionally, their prices are quite affordable. I was impressed with their communication and promptness; it felt like they were my own team.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It would’ve been nice to have had a designer on the project, but for the budget we agreed to, that option wasn’t available. I ended up having to provide all of the graphics.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have an initial call with appssemble and see if you have a similar vision.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

What challenge were you trying to address with appssemble?

We wanted to create an app to make it easy for our clients to achieve what we want them to achieve.

What was the scope of their involvement?

apppssemble developed a mobile app for iOS and Android. Clients can use the app to track their calorie intake. They handled everything from start to finish; we just gave them the idea we had, and they ran with it. The team added a location feature so that users can see where they are, and they made the login seamless. They also integrated data.

What is the team composition?

We mainly speak to Dragos (CEO). It’s nice that we don’t have to relay messages to more than one person. 

How did you come to work with appssemble?

I found them through Clutch. I looked at the top 10–20 best app designers, and appssemble popped up. I spoke to quite a few people and did my research. When I spoke to appssemble, everything was quite seamless; we had a Google Meet, and the energy was great. They were very understanding. They stood out in terms of what we were looking for.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent €30,000–€35,000 (approximately $35,100–$41,000 USD).

Our initial talks began in February 2020, and the signoff took a couple of months. They still maintain the app’s backend and are making a few changes.

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

They’re very easy to work with. We came up with the idea for the app and had a semi-design, but we’re not too technical, so they were very helpful with design and coming up with strategic ideas. It’s been hand-on-hand. They actually deliver quicker than they promise.

How did appssemble perform from a project management standpoint?

They are absolutely amazing. They use Firebase.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The communication has impressed me most. They’re responsive at all times. Sometimes, we come up with an idea at 10 PM, and I send them a message. They respond that they’ll work on it, and by the next day, they’ll literally start implementing the idea.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t really have anything to say at the moment that they need to improve on. They’re pretty great.

Any advice for potential customers?

If you have an idea, appssemble will definitely execute what you want to achieve.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-owner of a private medical practice.

What challenge were you trying to address with appssemble?

We wanted to expand and hire more doctors. To make our lives easier, we wanted to build a scheduling tool.

What was the scope of their involvement?

appssemble made this app for Android tablets because we only have Android tablets. However, the app could also be used on iOS. The platform’s for internal use, allowing us to schedule our patients for doctors, procedures, treatment rooms, and ambulances.

What is the team composition?

I worked with two people from appssemble.

How did you come to work with appssemble?

I found them through a colleague who studied in the same city as the owners of appssemble. I also read their reviews on Clutch.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent €30,000– €40,000 euros (approximately $35,500–$47,300 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started the project in May, and it finished in August 2020.

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

We have a lot of patients, and it was difficult for us to have an overview and schedule them. The app makes our lives easier every day. Our logistics are much easier.

How did appssemble perform from a project management standpoint?

They stuck to the project's deadlines. We had weekly meetings when they showed us their progress and challenges. It’s not easy to work with doctors because we have no IT skills. Their team took our ideas and made them better.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their team was accessible, engaged, and devoted to their work. They helped us to understand everything, which wasn’t easy because we don't have IT skills. We had a positive experience. In the future, we plan to expand and will definitely engage appssemble.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they were awesome.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I wouldn’t give hiring them a second thought. We would work with appssemble again.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the company director of a business that creates car floor mats. 

What challenge were you trying to address with appssemble?

We were working on new designs for our floor mats. They helped us create an app for selling our products. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

They created an app that lets customers download, place, and configure car floor mats virtually. People can use their phone’s camera to see how a product would look in their vehicle, which is great for customers who are curious about the products. In addition to visualizing the products, the apps allow customers to make purchases. The product was created for both iOS and Android users.  

How did you come to work with appssemble?

Initially, I found their services on Facebook. They were nice people to speak with during our early conversations. I’m from Romania, so we connected over that shared quality. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $28,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve worked together since June 2020.

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

How did appssemble perform from a project management standpoint?

There haven’t been any communication problems, and they answered all of my questions. They explained the scope of their services and let me know if anything would cost extra.

They’ve been great at communicating progress and understanding what I need.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything.

They went above and beyond with communication about progress and deadlines. If anything came up, they always got in touch with me very quickly.

They have amazing communication skills and understood our vision for the project very well. We were impressed with their technical and project management skills.  

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything. Everything went smoothly.

We needed a partner to help build an app.

What is the team composition?

I mainly speak with Dragos (Co-Founder). 

How did you come to work with appssemble?

I found them on Clutch. I also had a friend who had partnered with appssemble before who’d had a good experience, so I decided to reach out to them. As I spoke to them, I felt they’d be a good fit for our project.

We’ve spent about €27,000 (approximately $31,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

They’ve managed the project excellently.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re particularly impressed with appssemble’s integrity. Also, their ability to stick to timelines is fantastic. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could improve their price, but apart from that, they’re excellent. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Jump on board with appssemble. They’re amazing.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I work for a company that creates custom neon lights. We specialize in the recent trend of neon words and phrases as decoration, but we also provide traditional signs — for, say, casinos and bars.

What challenge were you trying to address with Appsemble?

Neon signs are handmade, so they can take the shape of anything. However, we found that customers, in the face of endless options, have trouble pinning down what they want. So, we wanted to standardize our offerings and to create a configurator that would enable users to design their own sign and then possibly order it.

What was the scope of their involvement?

I presented them with my concept for a web app, and my only requirement was that they integrate it with my existing platform and Stripe, for payments. We instead decided to do a mobile app instead. Appsemble delivered a few mockups and wireframes for me to approve.

They ultimately created iOS and Android apps that can visualize any phrase or motif as a neon sign. Inside the app, you can choose between different fonts, colors, sizes, and forms. You can then see how it’d look on your own wall.

They provide ongoing maintenance, insofar that they’re happy to incorporate any minor tweaks or changes. We’ve requested some font updates, which they’ve incorporated.

What is the team composition?

I was only in contact with the project manager.

How did you come to work with Appsemble?

My friend, who works in prosthetics, recommended them to me. They’d collaborated on an app made for doctors to show their patients how they’d look with a ceramic prosthetic. I contacted them after I envisioned a similar visualization app for my own business.

How much have you invested with them?

I spent somewhere between $10,000–$25,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started the project in October 2019, and the work is still ongoing.

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

Our analytics have shown that once they install the app, 64% of customers request a price quote and are thus converted into leads. We’ve gotten very positive feedback from users who seem to love the app. It’s difficult to grasp how, with neon signs, the possibilities are endless — and the platform has been successful in introducing that concept to users.

How did Appsemble perform from a project management standpoint?

They were excellent. We saw a very quick turnaround with the first version of the app, and they provided me with updates and were quick to resolve any bugs. We had Skype meetings every two weeks, and we utilized Google Colab to track and troubleshoot errors.

What did you find most impressive about them?

When I first contacted Appsemble, I didn’t think I’d actually work with them, because I knew that they specialized in mobile while I was only looking to create a web app. I really appreciated the fact that even though they knew their chances of winning me as a client were slim, they took the time to understand my needs.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The first version of the app was a little more fundamental than I would’ve liked, but that’s to be totally expected. They were very quick to deliver it, so I really don’t have any complaints.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Try to explain your goals in terms of the business impact. Instead of focusing on precise requirements, let them know what effect you want to generate with the product.
