The client submitted this review online.
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.

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder and president of the Be-IQ company (http://beiq.com(link is external)). We create solutions to enable individuals to understand the impact of their behavioral biases.
Conducting frequent behavioral research (including experimental research), Be-IQ explores cognitive biases and heuristics, as well as providing next-generation risk-profiling based on the behaviors that most influence financial decision making.
As the world’s first truly behavioral risk profiling service, Be-IQ is transforming how banks, robo services and client-focused financial services companies account for suitability and financial wellbeing.
What challenge were you trying to address with the vendor?
We needed a mobile application for the iOS platform that would measure people's behavior through attractive games.
Based on decisions made by a user in a game, the BEAM app should assess the user's attitude to investing, taking loans or making other key financial decisions.
An important requirement was that the application should be user-friendly and visually top-notch. We wanted it to contain attractive animations, so playing games would be pleasant and engaging.
Under our business model, BEAM will be recommend by companies and financial institutions to their clients. Those that use it will gain a broader picture of themselves, while financial institutions can give them better financial advice.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Droids On Roids’ team was responsible for iOS mobile app development and providing Quality Assurance. Their team was cooperating with a backend developer from our side. We delivered initial designs and Droids On Roids’ developers both animated and implemented them, which was challenging due to our high expectations in this field.
What is the team composition?
The team consisted of an iOS developer, QA engineer, Scrum Master.
How did you come to work with the vendor?
I was looking for a mobile app development company in Poland, and I found them on Google. I was impressed by their portfolio, website, clients’ reviews and their processes presented during our call.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent around 110,000 euros ($123,385 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
The app was already released. Now, we are raising funds to continue the development process and create the Android version of the application, also with Droids On Roids.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
BEAM is on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/beam/id1473246949
How did the vendor perform from a project management standpoint?
Excellent. We are very satisfied with their project management.
From the very beginning, I knew how our cooperation process would look like and what my role would be. Working in Scrum provided full transparency and I was up to date with everything what was going in the project.
During the kick-off meeting, we agreed together on the rules of our cooperation. I have also been introduced to all necessary tools that streamlined the process.
Jump on a call with Droids On Roids, ask them questions and learn their processes. For me, it was very important to know how they work and what I can expect. This conversation dispelled all doubts I had. And I am very satisfied with my choice.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Despite working from different locations, I felt that we were one, great team that plays to one goal.
I really appreciate that I had a direct contact with each member of the development team – through Slack, e-mail, video call and during Scrum meetings. Smooth and transparent communication without a single middleman guaranteed me a product exactly fitting my expectations.
I also appreciate that the developers did not use native components, but created their own custom elements to implement attractive, unique design and animations.
They made an awesome job, they faced a challenging task of meeting our expectations and providing an amazing UX. I doubt anyone else could have faced it. Amazing teamwork and workflow.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I don't see anything like that.

We wanted to create a unique way for our customers to learn about the bank’s treasury product. We didn’t want to do a product presentation, since that is what everyone does; instead, we wanted to create a mobile app treasury game that our customers can play.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We had a meeting and then a one-day session. Then, we had an intense two-day workshop with them on how to create our iOS game on mobile devices and tablets. There was a team from Droids On Roids and a team from my bank at the workshop. Altogether, the project was around four days.
Their idea was to gather 6–10 customers at our office and then host a 2-hour game, during which the customers can compete. It’s a simulation over four years. The customers act as the finance director and, every year, they need to make choices and buy products with the bank. It allows customers to get to know the products. It’s learning and having fun in one. The game had to be exciting, because it’s two hours long.
Droids On Roids had the best idea, but we chose another company to develop the app because my budget was too low to do it with them.
What is the team composition?
There was the owner Wojciech (CEO & President) and around five people who worked on the design, idea creation, and how the functionalities should work.
How did you come to work with Droids On Roids?
We talked with five companies, and they were the best workshop we had. They were very well prepared. I just had the idea, and I needed some creative people to make it happen. I enjoyed the process because they had a lot of ideas and were very flexible. The idea that they created was the best.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working together in 2018. In 2019, we had the second session.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Of the workshops we did with five companies, Droids On Roids led the best one. They had fresh ideas and a good understanding of what we do. Their ideas were really helpful for me, and I knew what direction to take. They had really helpful, creative people.
How did Droids On Roids perform from a project management standpoint?
They were young and very open. I enjoyed working with them.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’ve done many projects, so their knowledge of how to do mobile apps is very wide. They knew what they were talking about. They were very friendly.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Their prices were pretty high. I was surprised by how prepared they were and how good their ideas were.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Other companies should ask them for some ideas. Their approach is to do a workshop with customers to understand. They jump deep into your needs. After a few hours, they can prepare the proposition for you. It’s a good approach that they have.

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 CEO of Sprzedajemy.pl, the second largest classified marketplace in Poland.
What challenge were you trying to address with Droids On Roids?
We needed someone with top market knowledge and experience to help us with product design and research.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We asked Droids On Roids to work out the general strategy of how to develop our apps. They organized a workshop and asked a number of questions about our goals, what should be measured, what stood behind our logic to go mobile, and why we wanted to launch the app. They structured the process and organized a 3–4-day workshop that involved the whole team on our side.
After the workshop, we were able to define what our goal was and how to build the apps.
Then, we asked them to design our UX/UI and graphical design. By the end of the year, we finished the project. We moved the backend development to a more cost-effective company. We wanted to work with Droids On Roids, but they were fully booked and couldn’t give us a discount.
What is the team composition?
There were 5–6 people, including project managers, developers, account managers, and the CEO.
How did you come to work with Droids On Roids?
They’re based in the same city as us. We got introduced and were impressed by their expertise. We knew they worked for international clients, which was very important for us. We’ve worked with local companies before, but we needed a company with better competency and international experience and knowledge.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent €20,000 (approximately $22,700 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from June 2018 until the end of that year.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Due to the cheap rates we paid the new developer, the project took more than a year to complete, which was longer than we expected. However, the apps run so well. Our ratings are 4.8 and 4.9 in the App Store. Droid On Roids’ work was very good. The goal has been achieved. The number of downloads isn’t that high because we haven’t promoted the apps yet, and we’re still testing it. We collect feedback from our customers.
How did Droids On Roids perform from a project management standpoint?
Droids On Roids had very well-structured processes. They were very organized, and they guided us through the whole logical process. They asked questions that you don’t usually think of. They instructed us in the right way.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re an honest team that does a good job. It was not like a sales pitch – it was extremely well-invested cash.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, there’s nothing I’d have them improve.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I recommend doing the workshops. You can rely on them – they have the experience and a proper team and structure in place. They deliver what they promise. You can leverage their experience.

Cross-Platform App Dev for Software Startup
"Droids on Roids made me a part of their team, which I really enjoy."
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 founder and president of a small startup that builds software. We offer an app that’s based on timeliness.
What challenge were you trying to address with Droids on Roids?
We built the native iOS version of our app with a different agency. While that agency started to build the first version, we heard about Google Flutter. We decided to build the Android version in Flutter, which is cross-platform. The first agency at the time didn’t have experience in Flutter, so we needed another partner.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Droids on Roids’s primary responsibility is to rebuild the app that we built in Swift. They're rebuilding what we already had to be cross-platform. Their team’s currently working on a difficult backend feature.
How did you come to work with Droids on Roids?
We found them through a Flutter network in New York. There’s a group that’s interested in the Flutter platform that meets once every two months.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent a bit over $200,000 so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in March 2019 and the work’s ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We monitor their work closely. Many features went well but there are certain pieces of the application that are complex and aren’t working yet. We’ve struggled with one piece of the application. Droids on Roids is experienced but there’s a backend piece that’s tricky for them to get working properly.
How did Droids on Roids perform from a project management standpoint?
Their project management’s excellent. Their team’s communicative and on top of their tasks. We have good communication with the project managers. We have regularly scheduled meetings, but I can also reach out to them at any time. From the project managers to the developers, they’ve been great to work with.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I have direct access to the developers, which is nice. With a previous agency, the project managers directed the developers and I couldn’t communicate with them. Droids on Roids made me a part of their team, which I really enjoy. They allow us to work closely with their team including the developers and QA teammates.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They could be more proactive when there’s a problem or an issue. We had to push them to deal with our current feature situation. The piece of functionality is critical for the app to work properly. They were aware of the issue but didn’t proactively find a way to address it.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
If you want to be involved in the development process, they’re open to that. If that’s what you want, Droids on Roids will be a great partner. I’m confident that they could also manage a project in its entirety.

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?

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.
