Appventurez

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

They move at a good pace, so we are really happy. The quality of development is good; we have already created and developed almost three apps over the last three months. They are not all live yet, but one is in the store, one will be released very soon, and the other one we are currently working on.

How did Appventurez perform from a project management standpoint?

I do all of the project management myself. We have 3–4 calls a week with the developer to check the progress. We ask him to complete tasks, and they are always done as we want them to be. The development is of good quality. Although he works in India and there is a time difference, the developer is flexible with our schedule.

We use Jira for project management and a scrum methodology. They have a perfect knowledge of those tools and fit really well with those programs. We work in sprints, which are 3–4 weeks. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They deliver good quality. We do a review each time we finish a sprint, and it is good every time. They try to follow and respect what we want and, until now, things have been working well. We had worked with freelancers in the past, but they weren’t working for us 100%, so we don’t have much to compare to, but things have been going well.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It is all good. We just have a tiny thing when it comes to our weekly calls. The communication is good between us, but, from time to time, there are connection breaks and some background noise during the calls. The calls are still good, and it isn’t terrible, but we think there might be some room for improvement there. We will continue working with them as long as the results continue to be as good as they are now.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I would advise trying them out for a month and seeing if it goes well, as we did. 

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

We shared this internal app with our 200 employees, who were very happy with it. They didn’t voice any concerns or issues. The UX/UI of the app was excellent, so it became popular within our office quite quickly.

They were even able to suggest and implement features we hadn’t thought of. They were great in that respect.

How did Appventurez perform from a project management standpoint?

They were professionals who respected and adhered by deadlines. They always met or exceeded expectations. We used Jira for project management, and in every two-week sprint, they were able to showcase their project progress. While I wasn’t involved in the development of the app, I was monitoring the process, and they didn’t experience any roadblocks.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They don’t make any false commitments, and they deliver on time. They make suggestions and give good advice.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they’re very professional in the way they work. They’re really the best.  

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Any potential client should be open to feedback from their end. When they’re developing an app, communication should go both ways. Trust them, because they’re enormously experienced.

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

Appventurez delivers good work. Because of the change in specifications for the hardware, there was a slight delay. Overall, their team has been supportive.

How did Appventurez perform from a project management standpoint?

I appreciate their flexibility. Appventurez is proactive in communicating with my hardware vendor as well. Since I’m between my hardware provider and Appventurez’s software developers, it is nice that they have a separate synergy between them.

They’re collaborative. Communication is good. Skype and Basecamp are some of the tools we use. Most of the time, their project managers are active. They are transparent, sending weekly progress updates.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Appventurez is competent in the technologies I need. When the tech stack had to change, they did their own research. Their experience in the iOS marketplace is also very good. Their team provided helpful suggestions on how I should deploy the project in the market. Appventurez is a good technology partner for my business.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could improve on their UX/UI skillset, become more global, and research more about geographical areas.

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

Appventurez is the best of the best. We’re more than halfway through development, and after some testing, hope that the app will go live in July or August. Along with being a nice group of developers, they’re innovative when it comes to technology.

How did Appventurez perform from a project management standpoint?

Appventurez has been wonderful. Their team is excellent at understanding our vision. They come back with helpful suggestions regarding development and user experience. We suggest ideas, and then they come back if our plan isn’t a good fit for the market before making improvements.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their innovative ideas and answers impress me.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Appventurez is great because we’re a startup with a tight budget. We approached many other companies, and their cost was much higher than we expected.
