Mobile App Development for Pop Culture Startup
"I am very satisfied with my choice of working with Droids on Roids."
the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
I am the CEO for a startup in the Los Angeles area involving the pop culture industry. We are creating a mobile app-based business with an iOS core product.
We needed a complex application built that ties to our back-end API [application programming interface]. We needed someone who could work fast and launch in four months without delays.
We found Droids on Roids by doing online research and narrowed our selection to five firms. I personally interviewed all five companies and selected Droids on Roids. It was clear to me that they were true technologists and not fluff coders. I trusted them the most right away because of their competence and professionalism.
I hired them to launch my mobile application with complex integrations to our API system. It was not an easy project, but they launched on time. It took about four months of work full time and cost less than $50,000. We will work with them on ongoing maintenance, which will be sporadic and part time in nature.
I am very satisfied with my choice of working with Droids on Roids. I would rehire them again in a second. Droids on Roids is better than 90 percent of developers out there because they finished my project quickly without much stress. I must stress that we had a deep integration with a complicated API. I have only good things to say.
I think they are much better at launching applications from scratch than maintaining applications after launch. I will see how they do with updating my application. I'm nervous that they aren't organized in a way to do quality maintenance quickly. I will see how they respond to that challenge.

Mobile Development for Educational Software
"They have total transparency with a big sense of humor. It’s been fun working with them."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Please describe your organization.
We’re a startup company. We make mobile apps that enable children to learn how to code through fun game play and storytelling.
What is your role and responsibilities?
I’m CTO.
What was your goal for working with Droids On Roids?
We have been iOS exclusive, and we wanted to work on an Android version of our product.
Please describe the scope of their work.
The first release was very straightforward work. We had to change game engines halfway through the development because of compression issues. We shifted to using one of their main mobile developers to create the concept. They really helped us know what steps we should take to be time and cost efficient.
What was your process for selecting Droids On Roids with which to work?
Our process was basically budget driven. They seemed to deliver the highest quality for our budget, and they came very highly recommended from a few Swedish companies who don’t give positive references easily.
Can you give a sense of the size of the initiative in dollar terms or a personnel work-hour figure?
[It was between] $10,000 and $50,000
When was the work completed?
The first release was in October of 2014. We’re thinking of doing another project, and we’ll probably go with them again.
Do you have any statistics or metrics to track improvement from the project?
I don’t have any metrics specifically. We get great user feedback on a daily basis.
Are you satisfied with their performance?
They are on call 24/7. If we have something that needs to be fixed, they’re definitely the group for it. I haven’t been disappointed at all. In terms of their efficiency and transparency we never went above the quote they gave us at the beginning of the project even if the numbers and the hours ran a little bit above. The best part about working with them was they worked late hours in order to cater to the time difference. They’ve been nothing but professional in everything.
Is there anything unique or special about Droids On Roids that really makes them stand out compared to other online marketing companies?
One thing I’ve always found missing with other companies is the honesty and delivering on budget. This is something Droids On Roids hasn’t done just once, but six or seven times. They have total transparency with a big sense of humor. It’s been fun working with them.
Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you think they could improve upon or that you might do differently?
In retrospect, we would have had a game developer on board when we were first talking about the product especially going into development that would have been really useful. Droids On Roids found us a game developer, but it would have handy to have that earlier on.

Mobile Project for Assessment Innovation
"They did a superb job. The project manager was very responsive."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Please describe your organization.
We’re an HR [human resources] software provider, and we sell our software as a service in the cloud. It’s a recruitment software used to recruit candidates for open job positions. Job applicants download our app, fill in a job application, take a scientific, validated assessment, and then results are available for review. Employers either hire or bring in candidates for an interview.
What is your role and responsibilities?
I’m the chief operating officer. I handle some of the day-to-day operations and oversee all product development and client services.
What was your goal for working with Droids On Roids?
We had an iOS app already built and we wanted to enhance that app. We also wanted to build an Android mobile application clone to it that was an equally robust experience for the user. We had to build that from scratch. We engaged Droids On Roids to do that.
Please describe the scope of their work.
They developed the actual core mobile Android app, but they did more than just develop an app. We also worked with their designer to design the look and feel of the app. They also worked with our back-end person to make changes to the back-end of our database and to our code to make sure the app was functioning correctly. They developed the API [application programming interface] and documented it as well.
What was your process for selecting Droids On Roids with which to work?
We went to five Android app developers mostly through my network on LinkedIn and the CTO’s network. Two were in India, two in Poland and one in China. We put forth a proposal. We laid out a statement of work and asked for bids to complete the project. It was sort of built to spec. Droids On Roids had at an affordable rate, not the cheapest, but not the highest. I did my due diligence and felt more comfortable working with them than the others.
Can you provide a ballpark dollar figure for the size of the work that they’ve done for you?
[It was between] $10,000 to $50,000
When was the work completed?
It took about six weeks to build the app from scratch. The project was completed successfully in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Do you have any statistics or metrics to track improvement from the project?
It is too early to share metrics, but we have a functional application.
Are you satisfied with their performance?
They did a superb job. The project manager was very responsive. If there was ever a bump in the road, he was on top of it to make sure it was corrected. He offered significant value to the project. He was one of the main reasons I chose them.
He agreed with a finite budget in line with the project specs. He guaranteed it and followed through. He documented everything and did such a great job that when the project was completed, we didn’t need additional support going forward. We were very pleased with the design. He really stayed within the project specs and didn’t try to do too much or anything different. I appreciated that he developed it on time and was really on top of meeting deadlines.
Is there anything unique about Droids On Roids that really makes them stand out, compared to other online marketing companies?
They delivered as promised on time, which is not often the case. Furthermore, I liked that if they misunderstood something or had to do some additional work, they didn’t bill us. They stuck to what they agreed to build it for the original price. They didn’t try to add any additional fees. When we asked them to add another feature, they did. They never tried to charge us for anything that wasn’t part of the agreed upon project. They were very ethical about that part of it, which a lot of developers are not.
We paid them as we went along with the final payment at the end, which gave me additional comfort that I was working with a professional shop. Developers overseas can take your money and never respond to your phone calls or emails. That’s always a risk, but they got paid after the work that they did. They were willing to do that because they had confidence that they were going to deliver what they said they would.
They are really hands-on and communication was key. English isn’t their first language and their developers, while good, there are a lot of things that can get lost in translation. The project manager was on top of that to keep it on track. He was more than willing to have daily standout meetings, instead of weekly or every two weeks, because it was important for us to make sure we were on the same page. He was willing to be more involved and engage with us more than maybe another developer would.
We used another vendor to develop the iOS version. The owner promised to be involved, but during the course of a six-month project he only joined three phone calls. Their CEO [Wojciech Szwajkiewicz], however, was involved when he needed to be and joined numerous phone calls. He even asked me to let him know if he was meeting our expectations. He was a man of his word every step of the way and I can’t say that about a lot of people.
Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you think they could improve upon or that you might do differently?
I would have to nitpick because they did such a great job. Perhaps they could be a little more detailed on the project management.

Is there anything unique or special about Droids On Roids that really makes them stand out compared to other online marketing companies?
I think they’re extremely good at project managing. The process of their managing teams and ensuring quality work seems to be quite robust and that’s probably something that’s different than other developers in Poland.

We had an opportunity to get to know the partner's team and agree on the operational elements of the day-to-day cooperation. * The project management tools were Slack and Jira. * The framework was scrum/kanban. *
The change management notes and reports were kept in the shared spreadsheets. We had regular meetings and continuous communication. Droid's team proactively sought solutions. They were totally open to receiving feedback and eager to help.

the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the CEO of Art and Program, Inc., a boutique IT consultancy based in Tokyo, Japan. We are about 5 people and focus on creative software and hardware projects. We also make a product called synapseWear.
For what projects/services did your company hire Droids On Roids?
We hired Droids On Roids to develop synapseWear's Android app. We developed the iOS app internally, but could not allocate the necessary resources for the Android app.
What were your goals for this project?
synapseWear is a wearable environmental sensor. We had several requests from users to download data from the sensor to their Android devices. The Android app needed to communicate with the device via BLE and both display and download environmental data.
How did you select this vendor?
Droids on Roids got in touch during the initial public launch of synapseWear. They were inquisitive but respectful of not over-pitching their services. When we realized we couldn't find time to make the Android app we reached out to them.
Describe the project in detail.
Because the iOS version was already completed they had a working version of what needed to be done. So there was no need to make wireframes, guidelines, etc. We basically needed an experience Android programmer who could also handle BLE device communication which they were able to provide.
What was the team composition?
We used Slack to communicate. There was a project manager to keep things focused and one engineer assigned the project. Both the manager and engineer were super communicative. The project only lasted a few months and so the composition did not change.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
After being unable to complete the app internally for half a year Droids on Roids completed it in 2 months. Nice to finally have it done!
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
I am based in Tokyo working with a team based in Poland. Despite that communication was stress free. We started things off with a few video chats, but after that everything was Slack based.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
They were on budget and on schedule. What more could you ask for?
Are there any areas for improvement?
There were a few bugs which needed to be addressed, but that is always the case.

We we're recommended to reach out to polish development houses from a friend who applauded their speed and quality. After interviewing a few firms both in US and Poland, we decided to go with Droids.
Describe the project in detail.
The scope of the project was large, as we were developing a unique system spanning task management, IoT, and AI. Droids joined us in the early stages, as we were still developing and iterating on our product weekly. They were responsible for working with myself and our CTO to build something from the ground up, and work with us to identify challenges and opportunities as we built.

We had 3 engineerings and a project manager working daily with our team.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
