Mobile App Development for Educational Platform
"Their team displayed the right creative perspective for problem-solving."
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 CEO of ViaVivo, Inc. We’re based in Austin, Texas.
What challenge were you trying to address with SpaceDev?
I was working with a client who wanted to build a mobile app that helps young people discover their skills, talents, and passions to develop those into a meaningful career.
We wanted to build a mobile app prototype of this product to test.
What was the scope of their involvement?
It’s a hybrid application. We developed both platforms at the same time on a React Native codebase.
What is the team composition?
We had two dedicated developers. We also had a project manager and quality analyst that worked with us as needed.
How did you come to work with SpaceDev?
I was looking for a new developer. I’ve done a lot of work with different developers, but we were looking for an experienced mobile app developer.
We interviewed a lot of different developers. SpaceDev had a thoughtful response to our request for proposal. They also seemed to have a great perspective on how to problem-solve.
In following up with them and other finalists, we found that SpaceDev had great communication and a creative response to our challenge.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent about $45,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started in the last week of May 2020, and we wrapped up our beta in August 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’re now in a maintenance support phase as we’re beta testing the product for six weeks. We don’t have results in the market yet, but we achieved what we wanted from a development process.
We set out to build this very quickly, in a way we could put out and test. We now have a solid first draft that works with end-users on both platforms. The reliability of the product is helping us get out into the market quickly.
How did SpaceDev perform from a project management standpoint?
One of the things that stood out about SpaceDev is that they truly brought out a holistic approach. Their team is very well-rounded. They understood the need for testing and solid project management. They maintained an agile board.
I would send requests, and they would manage the backlog. We worked in two-week sprints. It was easy to work with their team. They had the right people in place that knew their role. It was a real plus.
Their team displayed the right creative perspective for problem-solving. That made this engagement very successful.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their communication was great. It was the right amount. We had a daily standup call, but we could set up more time if we needed to go deeper.
Their team is also very technically capable. They brought great solutions with different options. It was helpful to have that during the process.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Not at this time. We’re already working with them on a support phase and plan to work with them more after receiving feedback from initial tests. It’s been a five-star experience.

Web Development for Local Watercolor Artist
"They understand social media and it's importance to my business."
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 CEO of ByRenatta. I’m a watercolor artist.
What challenge were you trying to address with SpaceDev?
I wanted an online store to sell my prints. The only complicated part was creating a useful site with enough information. I wanted it to be artistic and reflect my style.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They developed my online store. It includes all the relevant information on my watercolor classes and allows me to sell prints. They also helped enhance my social media presence to boost my follower count.
It was pretty easy to come to an agreement on how I wanted the website to work. They used Shopify to showcase a full archive of my work. Even if it isn't for sale, it displays what I've done in the past. There’s also a newsletter that interested customers can sign up for.
What is the team composition?
There were 3-4 people working on the project. I was in contact with all of them.
How did you come to work with SpaceDev?
They were referred by a friend that we have in common. That’s why it was so easy to talk and come to an agreement with everything. I didn’t consider anyone else.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent over $2,000 on the project.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from March–June 2018.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I’ve sold over 100 prints through the website. When I started, I only had 15 students per month. With the website, I have grown that to around 30 students.
How did SpaceDev perform from a project management standpoint?
They always kept me updated on changes, always answering my questions about their processes. I don't have a tech background, so that was helpful to me.
It was very easy to communicate with them through text and email. They knew I didn’t understand much about website building, so they were there to solve problems. That allowed me to understand the basics of what they were doing.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re very nice, young guys. They understand social media and it's importance to my business. Even though the work centered around the website, they went out of their way to help me with social media.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Even though it was good having 3-4 people working with me, it may have been simpler to work with fewer people. That way, my communication could be more centralized. It didn't pose much of a challenge, though.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Always ask questions to clear your doubts. I was initially hesitant to do this, but they made it very easy.
