Small is the new big. Work with a boutique agency.
Talking to programmers is a hassle that makes creating an app a near-impossible task. Coding is really not that hard, but most programming teams miss the soft skills that allow them to empathise with your users, understand your budget constraints and put a decent app together.
Small is the new big! We are a bespoke team of experienced developers, designers and project managers with a passion for creating things that work. We never take more than 1-2 projects at a time and give each one of them our all.
Let us be the last development team you need.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m an executive of a health and wellness app that involves music.
What challenge were you trying to address with Binary Mango?
We needed someone who could build an app for our business and collaborate to help the company grow.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They’re helping us bring the app to life. The product is mainly a meditation music player; Binary Mango took the designs we built and replicated them to the pixel with a friendly and simple UX. Currently, we’re working on the transitions of the app.
What is the team composition?
We mainly work with two people; there’s Jacobo (Founder) and Andreas (Lead Developer), but there are also a couple of developers in the background as well.
How did you come to work with Binary Mango?
We found them searching on the web and going through review sites; we had a call with them and other companies, and they were the most accommodating to the budget that we had. They also had great ideas and communication, so they offered what we needed, which the other companies couldn’t do.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent €25,000 (approximately $30,000 USD) with them.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in January 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The product they’re building is great so far in terms of functionality. We’re still working on getting the design wholly done, but they’ve been massive in doing their work with the budget we had — they’re outstanding on all fronts.
How did Binary Mango perform from a project management standpoint?
It’s been pretty good so far; we’ve had a couple of miscommunications, but it got solved by just reaching out to them and asking what was going on to get a response to that.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re bringing the app to life exactly how I needed it with the money that I had to spend. Other companies gave me a quote twice as much, but Binary Mango believed in the project and helped me out.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Communication could be better, but I have to understand that because they’ve got several projects going on.
Any advice for potential customers?
Be specific in every aspect of the project and outline your expectations — you’ll be in a good spot if you do so.

Mobile App Dev for Retail Investor Startup
"We can rely on them to respond quickly to our needs and answer our questions with accuracy."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there?
I’m the owner of a retail investor startup.
What challenge were you trying to address with Binary Mango?
We needed their team to develop our mobile application.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We've kicked off the engagement with a discovery phase, wherein we've shared our vision, template examples, and documentation for Binary Mango's reference. They've then proceeded with the development phase and implemented our design and functionality requirements into the mobile app.
Binary Mango has developed our iOS- and Android-friendly mobile app using Flutter. Our platform aims to provide simpler and more accessible investment opportunities for investors who want to save time and effort. Binary Mango's team has incorporated a feature that allows investors to perform cash flow calculations and save their findings to a watch list. Additionally, they've included a contact page with our details and an elaborate explanation of how to use the calculation page.
What is the team composition?
I work with Jacobo (CEO) and a project manager.
How did you come to work with Binary Mango?
I found Binary Mango's profile on Clutch — out of the companies we considered, they were one of the few that offered Flutter as a service. We were also convinced to hire them because they did similar projects in the past and offered a reasonable price point.
How much have you invested with them?
We've spent €5,000 (approximately $6,000 USD) so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working together in June 2021, and our partnership is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Although the project hasn't been completed yet, we've already received positive responses about the app's performance. We're hopeful that we can meet our business goals given the early feedback we've received online.
How did Binary Mango perform from a project management standpoint?
We mainly communicate via email and WhatsApp and conduct weekly meetings on Google Meet. Binary Mango has impressive communication skills, and they're always patient and professional when it comes to addressing our feedback and change requests.
What did you find most impressive about them?
We're most impressed with their team's attentiveness — we can rely on them to respond quickly to our needs and answer our questions with accuracy.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can't point out anything that needs improvement at this point.

The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
Decoclub is the first mobile application that will give the best references in the decoration field.
It is a smart solution to connect the best companies in the field of decoration, space equipment and remodeling with clients with real buying potential through the reference of architects, real estate brokers and the same sellers in the store network.
In the app everyone gains economic benefits. Affiliate businesses earn more sales, sellers and promoters earn commissions, customers earn discounts. My role within the business is to lead the necessary actions so that the project can be launched on the market, stay and grow in an escalating way, learning, correcting in the process.
My specialty is the management of high-performance teams in startups and family businesses, and with this knowledge we have created and continue to build a team that is the basis of a successful operation.
For what projects/services did your company hire Binary Mango?
Binary Mango, Jacobo and his team have been selected as a tech povider of the solutions the project needs for its operation. The APP development was under Binary Mnago responsability.
What were your goals for this project?
The challenge of the development of the application was to create this ecosystem where all users interact differently, creating unique experiences in each one.
The business concept was clear and we had 70% of the best companies interested from the beginning, so the commitment was twofold, on the one hand to create a platform that works correctly and on the other hand to meet the expectations of some customers who acquired their membership before viewing the software.
Building the user stories was hard teamwork and then in just 6 weeks the developers managed to have a beta version.
How did you select Binary Mango?
based on his previous experience in the decoration field and technology area. It seemed the perfect combination for this project.
Describe the project in detail.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

App Development for Fashion Technology Company
"They were incredibly patient with us in bringing us up to speed and taught us more than ever imagined!"

The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the Founder & CEO of Whering, a fashtech company in the digital wardrobe space (we help women see, browse and style their existing pieces). We're based in London and have 5 employees (but growing fast). I'm responsible for strategy, marketing and customer/investor outreach.
For what projects/services did your company hire Binary Mango?
As a non-technical but very imaginative founder, we had a real technical challenge in bringing the Whering app to life. We were trying to create a seamless yet addictive and gamified experience for the user, whilst building a scalable business with multiple revenue streams.
We didn't have any in-house tech or an experienced CTO, but were determined to create a product that was radically different to what existed on the market (and that offered scalable personal styling).
What were your goals for this project?
This step was essential for our business, it's the way we deliver our service, so choosing the right agency to complete the work was crucial. The outcomes we wanted were an upgrade on existing competitor apps (improved functionality and navigation for our version) and a sticky product that would spark interest with our early adopters (to both test our features and product market fit). We also needed the app to be easy to update on our end, as we are a small team, so we were interested in a simply user friendly platform.
How did you select this vendor?
Our CMO had previously worked with Binary Mango on another start-up – they came highly recommended. They really came out on top in our selection process and we pick then on the quality of their proposal (and track record), their competitive pricing, willingness to train our team on how to interact with the app post-launch and the incredibly positive attitude our their team.
Describe the project in detail.
The overall scope was a full mobile (hybrid) app development based on our UI/UX sketches, including a gamified dress me function (where the user could scroll through their wardrobe and match items together in a visual way), outfit recommendations (AI powered), a sharing feature and a news feed.
Binary Mango delivered much more than originally planned. Jacobo was incredibly helpful on the whole strategy piece, made many relevant connections (we decided to upgrade our UX in the process thanks to him) and provided much support throughout the process.
What was the team composition?
We were assigned a product manager to support us as the main point of contact. We were in contact with the CEO too for strategic input and knew we had both front end and back end developers working on the app.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We continue to get positive feedback on the look and feel of the app, its usability and flow, both from existing and potential customers. We’re still early-stage in the feedback loop (i.e. the app is going live in the next week) but we expect such a good product to spark over 1’000 downloads in the next three months.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
The team’s working style and timeliness were great. Fantastic communications skills – we were provided with frequent updates, using both Slack and phone catch ups.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
I was blown away by the knowledge of this vendor about mobile app development (especially backend-less), user experience and optimization. They were incredibly patient with us in bringing us up to speed and taught us more than ever imagined!
Binary Mango also challenged us to think outside the box and re-think some of our UX components – which proved to be invaluable advice from a user retention perspective. The experience was incredibly positive and collaborative. The investment was worth every penny – we will absolutely go with Binary Mango for any work in the future (and recommend them to anyone who needs a stellar development team).
Are there any areas for improvement?
We ended up with an incredible product, we couldn't be happier.

Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the founder and CEO of MediShout Ltd
For what projects/services did your company hire Binary Mango?
Binary Mango built an App and platform, modernized the user-experience and built many critical features. Most crucially, this needed to be achieved in a very short amount of time due to Covid-19.
What were your goals for this project?
To build an Android and iOS App that allowed reporting of Covid-19 issues, and linked to a dashboard where the data could be acted upon.
How did you select this vendor?
We found this vendor through our Chief Product Officer who had been recommended the team.
Describe the project in detail.
We needed Binary Mango build an Android and iOS App that allowed reporting of Covid-19 issues by hospitals staff, and link the data to a dashboard where it could be acted upon. Most crucially, this needed to be achieved in a very short amount of time due to Covid-19. Furthermore, due to the high security requirements of hospitals, this needed to be built to the highest standards and with governance and data-flow considerations. This needed to be integrate-able with existing health care systems and easily adopted by healthcare staff. I assure you these are some of the hardest specs to satisfy in tech development, as healthcare is complex.
What was the team composition?
From our side we provided a CPO, who was supported by the CEO and account management leads.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
WOW! The feedback from customers has already been amazing. They have actually all said the software built completely surpasses their expectations - with speed, user-experience, design and flow being the key highlight features. I have been blown away personally with how seamless the platform is to use.
Also, I had a vision of what the product should look like, but Binary Mango politely made their own suggestions, which turned out to be ten times better than my best expectations. That's a key sign of project success for me, as I received something way better than I had hoped for so they didn't just build as per the specification I gave, they had the passion to go beyond and give me the best end-product possible. I easily give them 5/5.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
It was seamless to work with their team as they are passionate about what they do, diligent and want to build the best product. They wanted to over-deliver and they did. They were so easy to communicate with, polite and courteous but always on point.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
So many things were impressive. They had a genuine passion and enthusiasm for what the product was designed to do. They were so easy to communicate with and when challenges happened they got right on top of things to ensure as a customer I never felt stressed or worried.
From the beginning, I had full faith they would build an excellent platform and they did. They completely over-delivered and extra features or designs would pop up that we didn't ask for, but they delivered to ensure we had the best end-product possible.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Honestly, I don't think there are. There were so many pressures I put on Binary Mango to deliver this to a high standard and really quickly. They were excellent, thus no room for improvement. I am glad we can move forward with them and get building more products together!

Please describe your company and your position there.
We specialise in visual thinking services including live drawing at meetings and events. I am Senior Producer for the live events team.
For what projects/services did your company hire Binary Mango?
As world leaders in our field, we wanted to explore utilitising AR to enhance our live events offering to encourage a more interactive & immersive experience for event delegates.
What were your goals for this project?
The solution needed to be intuitive, responsive, flexible and secure. It needed to bring a real wow factor and encourage people to think differently.
How did you select this vendor?
We met Binary Mango at a technology trade show and instantly clicked. They understood us and what we were about as a company and their costs were really reasonable.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
They designed, developed and configured an AR app, building both the front and back end so that we could manage the app ourselves in-house. This involved multiple meetings, test phases and contact throughout the project.
What was the team composition?
We worked mainly with one key contact. During the first couple of live tests we worked with two other contacts who were on site with us to work the backend and iron out any issues.
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
We are yet to see the impact on sales for this product however internally the team is engaged with the development of the app. It has encouraged a culture of innovation and new possibilities for creative outputs.
The app has had positive feedback from multiple stakeholders who have experienced it during our soft launch stage and we look forward to seeing how this translates to sales throughout 2020 as we take it out on the road.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
Communication with the team was really great and all deadlines were met and managed well.
There were times when it was difficult, as building new tech like this can have many uncertainties and road bumps. However whenever these frustrations were aired the team were hugely helpful not only on rectifying issues quickly but also clearly and kindly explaining why processes and methods were the way they were.
This was hugely helpful in aiding further communication onto senior stakeholders.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Their openness and passion for trying new things and thinking creatively. No problem or challenge is too big to take on.
As a creative agency we have some really big thinkers on our team and finding a supplier we could partner with to understand our vision and bring this to life can sometimes be a challenge, however working with binary mango made this journey a really pleasant and fun experience!
Are there any areas for improvement?
It hasn’t always been clear what the exact deliverables were for each project section or how many iterations to something we could have to get it right. This could have been error in part on our side in miscommunicating exactly what we were looking for.
As non-techy people a little bit more hand-holding to let us know exactly what we needed to do and how I order to get the right feedback to the team might have been helpful. All in all though, we’re very happy with the build and the general communication throughout.

I’m the marketing director for Fossil Group— a watch and accessory company. I take care of the Mexico and Latin American markets.
What challenge were you trying to address with Binary Mango?
We looked into VR and AR technologies to innovate our point of sale and create a memorable experience for customers.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We recently introduced smartwatches into our product line, which requires a lot of education for the end consumer to know the watches' main features and functionalities. Binary Mango created an engaging experience for consumers to get to know the features. Their team created an AR app for iOS to show functionalities. For example, it demonstrates that the watches are waterproof as well as its GPS and notification capabilities. The AR platform shows the features and brings people to interact with the watches.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am the co-founder and CEO of My Smart Bottle. We developed a smart bottle to be used in the lifestyle, sports, and healthcare world.
What challenge were you trying to address with Binary Mango?
We needed to have a smartphone application to go along with our smart bottle. My Smart Bottle is a drinking bottle that is equipped with electronics. It connects wirelessly to an application in order to follow the hydration of the user.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Our company designed the bottle mechanics, the bottle itself, and the app screens. With those designs, I went to Binary Mango who then wrote the code for an iOS and Android app.
The iOS app was built as a native application and we initially wanted to have a native Android application as well, but it was recently changed to a hybrid platform.
The basic functionalities of the application are rather straightforward. When the user drinks from their smart bottle, the quantity of liquid drank is sent to the app via Bluetooth.
The application is able to make a connection with one bottle or several bottles. It can also make calculations based on parameters. For example, if the user is a female and is of a certain weight, based on this personal data, the app will calculate the daily hydration.
When information is sent to the application, it manages hydration needs and evaluates the user at that moment. The app can create overviews of hydration throughout the day, the last few days, the week, or the month.
The bottle is not yet on the market, but the application is ready and will be available for free shortly. When users purchase a smart bottle, they will be able to download the app for free.
What is the team composition?
We worked with three people from their team including one iOS developer, one Android developer, and Jacobo (CTO, Binary Mango) was always the in-between. I had a few discussions with the developers, but 90% of the time, I dealt with Jacobo.
How did you come to work with Binary Mango?
We met them at a conference. We had a little stand with My Smart Bottle at an innovation festival in London. They passed by and presented themselves, we started talking with them, and they made an offer.
We did some comparisons with other companies and given all the discussions, we felt Binary Mango was the best choice to help us develop our application.
How much have you invested in them?
We spent around £30,000 Pounds (approximately $39,231 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked with them from 2018–November 2019.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The app isn’t available yet, but I’ve sent samples of the bottle to potential customers who had a link to use the product along with the application. The feedback that we’ve received so far has been positive.
How did Binary Mango perform from a project management standpoint?
It was very nice to work with them. They have a lot of flexibility, even during the weekend. When we needed to test something on the weekend due to issues, they reacted quickly and were flexible.
They are very professional, and I am really satisfied with them. The app will continue to be developed all the time in order to add new features, and we will continue working with Binary Mango for that.
We used all types of communication channels. We mostly communicated through email, WhatsApp and calls. I also visited them in London as well.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their creativity makes them stand out, not only in their app development, but also in their approach with their clients. They are very creative and original when presenting themselves. This was something that grabbed our attention.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There is always room for improvement. This is a more difficult question because I have had a good experience with them.
It would have been interesting to meet the team. I am not sure this would be necessary to develop an application, but I like to meet people and talk with them about development decisions.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Potential customers should talk with them from the beginning and be very clear in their requests. I was very clear with my requests, and they were very clear in their responses.
I’ve had a very positive experience with them. I’d advise other companies to work with Binary Mango because, from my point of view, they are good.
Binary Mango delivers a great and functional product, staying within the client’s budget and aiming to be entirely on point with the project. They’re always available to answer any questions that arise through good communication. The client feels that their project is getting taken care of.
