Droids On Roids

Please describe your company and your position there.

Metapro wallet is the first web3 wallet dedicated to metaverse and gaming developers, creators, and players. It is a one-stop shop for user authentication, asset management, NFT, and everything related to metaverse offering new types of rarity and item experience. We are building a bridge between metaverse, dApps, and blockchain for every user. I’m the CTO and co-owner of the company.

For what projects/services did your company hire Droids On Roids, and what were your goals?

Droids On Roids is responsible for building a mobile application based on web3 and backend elements. The app is an integral part of the Metapro concept (web app + mobile app).

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Droids On Roids were recommended to us by the company we are already working with on the web and backend part of the product. After a few meetings and one workshop, we realized that the team has great experience in creating mobile applications and that was what we were looking for. The next big advantage was the availability of the team and their engagement - we were able to start development immediately.

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

We planned to create a mobile application that would complete our product. It is based on a crypto wallet that gives the user the possibility to create their own wallet or connect to the existing one. Thanks to that the user can also browse and purchase NFTs published on our marketplace. Before starting the development we organized workshops and we were able to talk about our needs and requirements.

Droids On Roids provided us with an initial roadmap and estimation and we could start working on the project. Throughout the whole cooperation Droids On Roids team was responsible for the scope from the technical side. We provided them with our vision, business goals, and priorities and they converted it into the backlog. The communication is held mostly on Slack. Droids On Roids follows the latest technologies, our applications were created using SwiftUI (iOS) and Compose (Android).

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

2x iOS Developer 2x Android Developer 1x Quality Assurance 1x Scrum Master 1x Business Analyst

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Our goal was to create an MVP product for our users and we have already achieved it. At the moment we are working on improving features that are developed. I am impressed by how well the team understands the complex subject of cryptocurrencies and NFT.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Droids On Roids are really experienced in building mobile applications so from the beginning we counted on their knowledge of how to build the app and what are the best practices and they delivered it. It is also really easy to cooperate with them thanks to the Scrum process implemented on their side. We can see that they have years of experience in using it and I feel like I can focus on my business because the organization in the project is taken care of. Most of the communication is held on Slack and video calls.

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

Droids On Roids is a very mature organization and you can feel it from the first moment. They have excellent knowledge of building mobile applications, and they are up to date with the newest trends and technologies. Their processes are really thought through and answer our needs. What differentiates them from other companies is their focus. They are not working just on the development process - they are focusing on your goals and working with you toward them. We feel like they are an integral part of our company.

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

Our deadlines were very urgent and it was a big advantage that the Droids On Roids team could start working on the application immediately. But we feel like we could plan our timeline better if we would spend more time on research before getting into the project.

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We were encountering some challenges with the scalability and fast delivery with our former vendor and we were looking for an experienced company with a proven track record of building successful apps. Droids On Roids have great reviews and were recommended to us by a former client of theirs. We have decided to rewrite our application with them after a thorough discovery process.

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

We have conducted workshops lead by the Droids On Roids Team where we mapped the core path of our end user and basing on that we analyzed which parts of the application needed to be improved. After the workshops the UX designer focused on delivering wireframes and designs which were addressing the needs of our end-users and allowing the user journey to be as smooth as possible. Droids prepared a plan and a roadmap and started the development after a comprehensive kick-off. On the web part they were developing and maintaining the previous application and simultanously developing the new one from scratch. On the mobile part the Droids team focused on the flutter development. Scrum master is present in both teams to support the processes and is supporting our Product Owner in his daily duties.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We work on this project with a few different vendors and the Droids On Roids approach allowed us to improve the collaboration and processes among all of them. They shared the goal-centered product development approach together with the smooth and transparent communication process. Scrum Methodology helped us to maintain on track without losing sight of important aspects.

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

Their engagement and proactivity. They truly want to be a part of your company and push you towards achieving the desired results. All that with empathy, transparency and partnership. On top of that, they are really flexible and act at speed whenever the team needs to be scaled up or down.

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

I can’t think of anything at this point.

What is the team composition?

We work with five teammates from Droids on Roids: a developer, a tester, a Scrum master, a business manager, and a client manager.

How did you come to work with Droids On Roids?

Someone referred Droids on Roids’ manager to me when I was looking for a vendor to develop my mobile app. 

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent about $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around May 2022, and the engagement is ongoing.

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

The results of our engagement with Droids on Roids have been very positive so far. After only a month of cooperation, I’ve already been able to test the app on my phone. 

How did Droids On Roids perform from a project management standpoint?

We have a weekly review meeting. The client manager gives me a budget every week and informs me when they have to estimate for more or less investment, so they provide the pricing perfectly. We use Jira for project management, where I can see the app’s progress. As for communication, we use Slack and Google Meet, and sometimes we see each other in person. Overall, their project management approach has been perfect for me.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Droids on Roids treats me like part of their family, and they inform me about everything. We’re always connected through Slack, so I know what they’re doing, and I can reach out to them anytime. The team also tells me what we can improve in my application. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think they need to improve anything. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be ambitious because Droids on Roids is very ambitious. They don’t just do the easy thing, and they believe in my project — give the team an ambitious problem to solve.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the software lead at Somewear Labs. We’re building a hotspot to support global connectivity for mobile devices.

What challenge were you trying to address with Droids on Roids?

We needed a team to implement our UI designs on the Android version of our app.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We provided Droids on Roids with frontend design and visual elements, and they implemented them in our Android application. Droids on Roids implemented the UI we designed for the in-chat screen and various conversation management processes. Their team came up with great recommendations to make design elements for the weather report feature easier to implement. They also worked on the UI for our tracking functionality that allows users to share their location with their contact list. Droids on Roids is still working on certain UI elements of the application.

What is the team composition?

We have a scrum master, the main developer, another developer, and a test engineer.

How did you come to work with Droids on Roids?

They reached out to us. We met with their CEO when he was visiting San Francisco, and he showed us examples of their past work and explained their processes. We told them we had a limited timeline and budget, and they agreed to work within those restrictions. Overall, they seemed like a good fit.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $12,000–$14,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2017, and the project is ongoing.

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

Droids on Roids has had a huge impact on our company. They’ve sped up our development process by a few months. We don’t have that many in-house developers, so we had their team complete some of the necessary development needs before we allocated any of our internal resources to the project. They’ve delivered most of the work, and we’re currently finalizing the app and preparing for its launch.

How did Droids on Roids perform from a project management standpoint?

Working with the Droids on Roids team is an all-around great experience. Internally, they have well-structured workflows and organized communication. We handle our day-to-day needs via Slack, but we also schedule weekly or biweekly meetings to discuss our priorities and share progress updates. It’s a transparent collaboration; there’s a mutual understanding of responsibilities and expectations across both teams.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their internal structure and operations are very helpful. They work as an extension of our team. Droids on Roids understood our requirements and helped us prioritize the workload efficiently.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Overall, they’re great, but we did have one small hiccup. I provided them with broken code, and it took them a while to let us know. They shouldn’t hesitate to let us know when we messed up.

Any advice for potential customers?

Clients should be clear on priorities and expectations. They should tell Droids on Roids exactly what they want to build and leave no ambiguities. Enter the engagement with a strong vision and keep communication lines open.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Our company – Lamah Technologies – is one of the biggest businesses developing digital software and technical solutions in Libya, with a focus on changing local citizens' lives for the better. Our main projects include digital applications that directly serve the public needs in our society.

Tam app is one of our major projects and was designed to ensure the 24-hour-per-day on-demand connection between riders and drivers on both Android and iOS in Libya.

I hold the position of CTO in this company.

What challenge were you trying to address with the vendor?

We needed a mobile app development company with top market knowledge and experience to design and develop Tam – a complex app for Libya, which would respond to many problems, like food delivery, car sharing and e-wallet, etc.. More specifically, we needed:

an app for clients,

an app for drivers,

an app for restaurants,

an app for couriers,

e-wallet app,

other similar.

Tam should ensure a 24-hour-per-day on-demand connection between clients and mentioned services on both Android and iOS platforms.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started our cooperation with a 3-day Product Design Workshop to clarify the app’s idea and get ready for development, which took place in July 2019. 

Droids On Roids’ team is responsible for UX/UI design, iOS app development, Android app development, Backend and Frontend development, and ensuring Quality Assurance.

The first component of Tam app will work in a very similar way as Uber do. The general app logic is as follows:

1. Request. The customer requests a car via the app. The request is sent to nearby drivers.

2. Matching. The driver may either accept or reject the ride.

3: Ride. The customer tracks the driver's location and sees the estimated time of his arrival.

4: Price. The app provides the price based on the length of the trip. The passenger pays the driver in cash.

5. Rating. The client gives a score for a driver.

Importantly, since the application will be used in Libya, the clients can indicate whether they want to ride with male and/or female drivers. The driver makes a similar choice.

Ultimately, the application also has a lot of offline functionality. Internet access is only required during route mapping and rerouting, as it is necessary to download traffic information. Tam app should utilize the internet as little as possible, to ease consumption,, so the whole map of Libya will be stitched in the application on the local server.

It is also important for me that the application should be resistant to potential failures and accidents - if the driver's phone turns off then, after turning it on again, we should recover the ride and its data.

Basic features of the app for customers include: Geolocation and routing, Registration and personal data management, calling or texting the driver right from the app, Push notifications, Ride cost & time estimation, and more.

Basic features of the app for drivers include: Driver reports, Advanced route optimization, Calling a passenger from the app, Calling an emergency number, Client - driver matching, Waiting for new orders / Occupied option, and more. Additionally, drivers can choose if they are available for only short rides, or long ones (between cities).

What is the team composition?

The development team consisted of 1 Scrum Master, 1 UX/UI designer, 2-4 Android developers, 2-3 iOS developers, 2 QA engineers, 3-4 Backend developers and 2 Frontend developers. I appreciate their team’s flexibility – the team’s size was adjusted according to the project’s needs.

How did you come to work with the vendor?

We found Droids On Roids through Clutch. They gained our general interest through their high ratings and positive reviews so we decided to meet with them in person.

We perceive their location in Poland as an advantage, because we have good air connections with their city. We were also impressed by their portfolio and extensive experience.

The overall impression we had after meeting Droids On Roids and analyzing their offer was unbeatable and we decided to entrust our core projects into their hands.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $300,000 so far, but the whole project is estimated at $500,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We are going to continue developing the product and deliver next components.

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

The app development is in progress, so the apps are not released. We are pleased with what we have already developed together. The code is of the highest quality and the implemented features meet our expectations. Working in Scrum facilitates ongoing progress monitoring.

We have already received the beta version of the application for drivers and we are now testing it internally in our company.

How did the vendor perform from a project management standpoint?

Outstanding. We are very satisfied with their project management capabilities, which made our app development smooth and efficient.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I appreciate the communicative collaboration among their team - and with us - on a personal level.

What’s more, I highly value their astounding organizational skills and scheduling abilities. Time is high of the essence to them. They are very efficient and punctual with deadlines.

They are also experts in project management tools. Droids on Roids generously provided advice, suggestions and expertise in their field of work for the benefit of our project, assuring us that it would not only be executed but also further developed and improved.

As an example, it turned out that we have a problem with navigation and the developers quickly discovered that the reason lies in the incorrectly tagged streets in Libya. With this knowledge, we can look for a solution and move forward. This proactive approach is one of their main strengths.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. Our experience with them so far is very satisfying.

We began our cooperation with a three-day product design workshop conducted by the Droids On Roids team. The workshop helped us immensely to clarify the app idea and to kick off the project smoothly. After that, Droids On Roids started their end of the work.

What is the team composition?

Our team consists of iOS developers, Android developers, a Scrum master, QA engineers, and a UI/UX designer. The size of the team has varied throughout the entire cooperation depending on our needs, ranging about 5–15.

We’ve spent over $600,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2018. The apps have launched, but our collaboration with Droids On Roids is ongoing. 

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

Both apps launched successfully. They’ve earned 4.7-star ratings on the App Store from more than 3,000 reviews and have over 500,000 downloads so far. Droids On Roids created two crash-free, beautifully-designed apps which reflect well on our brand and our expectations.

How did Droids On Roids perform from a project management standpoint?

We started the project with a kick-off meeting where we set the rules for our cooperation and learned the tools used in the process. We know exactly how to use the tools that help us to monitor the budget and maximize the value Droids On Roids delivers.

Overall, we’ve enjoyed the communication with Droids On Roids. They provide us with a high level of transparency. We have direct contact with every team member either through Slack, email, Scrum meetings, and in face-to-face interactions in their office. 

Thanks to our iterative approach that uses 1–2-week sprints, we can optimize value and introduce changes with great flexibility and manage risks. We have effectively developed a working product increment in every sprint. Thanks to Droids On Roids’ openness, we’re always up to date with the team’s progress and time spent on development. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Droids On Roids is more than a contractor—they’re a trustworthy partner with impressive knowledge and skills. We appreciate their openness, flexibility, meticulousness, and technical competence. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t think of anything.

Any advice for potential customers?

If you are looking for a reliable partner who will build your application at the highest quality, Droids On Roids will be a perfect choice. 

The team will provide you with a sense of transparency through ongoing and direct contact with the team members. At any given moment, we know what the team is working on and can access the current version of the app. 

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder of Greenr Technologies Ltd, an environmental startup.

What challenge were you trying to address with Droids on Roids?

We’re building a climate-focused lifestyle app featuring a carbon footprint calculator. It also provides tailored coaching tips to reduce your carbon footprint and offset the rest.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They first led us through a four-day online workshopping event. We went through every aspect of the app, described the concept, designed the MVP, and planned several releases. We met with the entire team, including software developers, a backend specialist, and two different designers. Together, we brainstormed different features, what it would take to develop it, and what APIs we would need. In parallel, we built some wireframes in order to get a visual idea of what the app would look like.

The platform features a carbon calculator that tracks carbon from food and travel. It also features a visual dashboard so users can see their data and how they’re doing, and learn to offset their carbon footprint.  

Now they’re using Flutter, Firebase, and PostgreSQL to develop a cross-platform app on iOS and Android.  

What is the team composition?

During the workshop, I mostly worked with Ernest (Business Development Manager). There was an amazing team of developers and a scrum master as well. We worked with Alexander (Android Developer), Damian (iOS/Flutter Developer), Pawel (Android Developer), and Bartosz (Web Developer).

How did you come to work with Droids on Roids?

We found them on Clutch and they had great reviews. We were looking specifically for a Flutter development agency and wanted a partner in the same time zone as us. Droids on Roids met all of those needs, so they seemed like a good fit.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested about €70,000 (approximately $84,000 USD) so far and are looking spent another €100,000 (approximately $200,000 USD in total).

What is the status of this engagement?

Our partnership began in December 2020 and it’s ongoing.

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

They first estimated that it would take two and a half months to build the MVP, and they’ve delivered on schedule and in budget. We plan to launch it next week. We’re happy with their work so far.

How did Droids on Roids perform from a project management standpoint?

We use Slack on a daily basis, but we also use Jira to look at our backlog of tasks.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They have a big team, so they’re able to work collaboratively. They’re honest with their estimations and they’re a fun group to work with.

Are there any areas they could improve?

For now, I think they’re doing well.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be aware of all the aspects of your product and your business. The

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and CEO of an online marketplace.

What challenge were you trying to address with Droids On Roids?

We needed someone to help us with pre-development and development for a mobile app.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started off with workshops that helped us clarify what the product was, how we wanted it to look, the features, and the roadmap of the product. Their team identified what it was we wanted the app to be.

The deliverables so far consisted of a six-day workshop, and the outcomes included MVP wireframes. There are detailed estimations of how much the application should cost and a minimum and maximum of how long it should take. The features are something we identified together.

We came up with two applications for which we developed the wireframes for. That will be developed in conjunction with the development phase, and they will be for iOS. One app is management software for shops to manage their profiles and portfolio. The other app is for shoppers to shop.

Now, we’re in the development phase. We completed the workshop, and all the materials were handed off around the second week of April. We’re now going to start the second phase.

What is the team composition?

For the workshop, there were 7-8 people there throughout all six days. There was a scrum master, an iOS developer, an Android developer, a business analyst, a QA, a backend developer, and another iOS developer.

How did you come to work with Droids On Roids?

I found multiple companies on Clutch. After shortlisting and interviewing multiple developers, I chose Droid On Roids because I liked the people. They were young, enthusiastic, and positive.

How much have you invested with them?

It was $25,000 for the workshop.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing engagement with Droids On Roids started in February 2021.

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

With Droids On Roids, it’s more of a partnership. For the workshop, they weren’t there to just listen and do. Their team was there to listen and discuss.

There’s a lot of developers we worked with previously that don’t give a lot of input or don’t want to give their opinions. They saw us as clients rather than partners. They were very interested in the product. The team was extremely enthusiastic about the project itself.

As a result, we were able to get their input in the workshop on multiple different aspects, especially when it comes to technical points of view, which my team does not have. They helped us come up with decisions regarding what features the MVP should have. They wanted to keep it clean. They helped us with decisions like iOS only initiative. They built a roadmap of features that were must-haves, should-haves, and could-haves.

They work very fast and accommodate us. After the workshop phase, I wanted them to start on the development phase right after. They prebooked the developers while we were doing the workshop. Two months ago, they already knew which team members they would like to have. They were very accommodating. They helped us book the team and start development right after the workshop.

The wireframes helped me get huge investments. A bunch of investors has seen the wireframes. We have 10-15 investors and other individuals that are involved with this project. Every time we have any type of deliverable, the wireframes, the UI, the UX, which they’re currently doing, I use around 30 people to review the outcomes. So far, the feedback has been great. We take the feedback to Droids On Roids and together implementing the feedback.

How did Droids On Roids perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management is very good. Their team is very on time and organized. They’re also very clear with communication. I was anticipating miscommunication, but there were no issues with anybody on the team. We have personal contacts with each person on the team. Whenever anyone asks a question, the question is answered immediately or the same day.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re an enthusiastic team that likes the project. They’re working tirelessly, and they’re not just monkeys typing on a computer. Their team contributes ideas like they’re part of the company.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It’s hard to judge because I’ve only worked with them for two months. It’s hard for me to come up with an improvement point. As of now, there’s nothing I’d have them improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’d push them to use Droids On Roids because I’ve had a great experience. To get the most out of them, trust them. Don’t try to micromanage them because there’s no need for that. Allow them to think and push you back.

Allow them to tell you they don’t like the idea because they’re smart individuals. If they have an idea, don’t flex your muscles. Listen to what they say. That’s how you’re going to get the most out of them. I receive the most value from them by listening to them and not just talking.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Our company’s called Lamah Technologies. It’s one of Libya’s biggest companies that work on developing digital software to provide technical solutions to help local citizens get through their day to day lives and overcome arising challenges. With a dynamic ensemble of employees that are estimated to reach about 120 this year, we also provide personnel for other companies that are established for information technology industries. Our main projects include digital Applications that directly serve the public needs in our society. Makani App is one of our major projects that was designed to help people locate places within their region by means of a digital map that allocates specific postal codes to almost all locations. This is vital to our society as we’ve been deprived of such amenity for as long as anyone can remember. In addition to that, we’re in the process of developing another App called ‘Tam’, a multi service platform that also targets the public but does not exclude firms or large businesses. I hold the position of CTO in the company.

For what projects/services did your company hire Droids On Roids?

We primarily worked with Droids On Roids to set up Makani Mobile and public API. We were fortunate to work with a full team of their very own developers and designers who worked diligently to meet our specific needs. They were very assistive with facilitating and arranging meetings, plans, and the provision of a sufficient variety of connections. We had the privilege of working with special iOS designers for Makani as well as Backend Developers and Q&A to ensure sustainabilty. Our first workshop with Droids On Roids took place in August, 2019. The official commencement of our project was in September of the same year, followed two months later by the App’s MVP launch on December 24 th . Our projected public launch is set for February 20 th , 2020.

What were your goals for this project?

To enable Libyans to accurately search and locate places using a digital map App. - Free installation and accessibility on electronic devices (Android/iOS). - Providing individual/digital codes instead of geographically descriptive addresses.

How did you select this vendor?

Our company found Droids On Roids through Clutch. It gained our general interest through their high ratings and reviews which further encouraged us to pay their company a visit in person. Its location in Poland serves as an advantage for us as it makes transportation to and from there much easier and more efficient for our work. Their previous projects have gained our admiration, encouraging us to form a connection to develop our projects.

Describe the project in detail.

Makani is an Application that was developed to enable Libyan citizens to search and locate places in their own towns more accurately and efficiently.  It is available for free installation on any iOS or Android devices, making it finger-tip accessible. The idea behind the App is one of its kind and unprecedented in Libya where postal codes barely exist. In order to be in line with the universal concept of addresses, our App provides individual/digital codes instead of geographically descriptive addresses. 2       We came up with this project to facilitate accessibility for people to easily get on with their daily lives. Finding shops, cafes, and other major facilities has never been easier by utilizing our App. They can be in contact not only domestically, but also internationally. That being said, the project does not exclude foreigners from having access to the App or making use of it. With businesses growing and thriving in many parts of the country, connectivity is of essence.

What was the team composition?

The characteristics that comprised our team were that of interdependent interactions. We worked mainly on public API, Android and iOS. Since we own the system that provides postal coding facility in the country, we are providing people with data that allows them to search for any point of interest. Added to that, we analyze data and present it on the App.

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/makani/id1481448754 Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lamah.makani Makani Promo: https://youtu.be/RedQ4oZp14Q

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Excellent.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their communicative collaboration among their team and with us on a personal level. Astounding organizational skills and scheduling abilities and resources. Highly specialized with project management tools. Time is highly of essence to them. They are very efficient and punctual with deadlines. Care for customers and impressive capacity of handling situations that might jeopardize their clients’ projects. This was evident when our project proposal was initially rejected twice by Apple under the claim that they didn’t approve of our reviews. Our issue was that Libya wasn’t technically recognized on their map version which led us to resort to a different service provider. Droids On Roids worked relentlessly to convince Apple that our project was original. They worked for hours on end to promote Makani to them – it’s worthy of mentioning that this coincided with their Christmas holidays, but regardless they continued with their efforts – which eventually paid off. Generously provided advice, suggestions, expertise in their field of work for the benefit of our project assuring that it would not only be executed, but also further developed and improved.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Our experience with them so far is outstanding, and we look forward to future collaborations. Work is currently underway on a different project.
