Bi weekly sprint deliveries complete with those detailed and agreed upon feature milestones with as few of bugs and issues as possible.

Assigned pm was communicative. Our experience when working on site in person with the team was an overall success. Once we flew back to America and left them to continue in India is when the issues starting arising. Pm assigned to the job was essentially stringing us along on issues and progress while pushing to ensure payment intervals were met and up to date from us. Pm rarely delivered fully functional products/sprints. Ultimately the entire product and engagement was an overall failure. Virtually no part of our technology worked properly.

Initial and on site working and communication.

Built a product that actually worked as intended within reasonable budget initially quoted.

If we look back on the total financial and time investment in the products, we find ourselves wishing for better usability, more stable coding, more parity between device types, and just in general, far more bang for our buck.

I'm the product lead, operating officer, and one of the founders of a US-based startup. We've launched a networking tool for professionals that allows users to efficiently discover others and schedule times to meet for virtual coffee chats, as well as to manage the relationships they create.

We needed to develop our MVP to prove our thesis and the product's market fit.

We hired Appinventiv to help us with the front- and backend development of our mobile app. They built it in React Native, leveraging Firebase in the Google Cloud for a lot of our backend services. The app required third-party integrations with services like Stripe for payments and Twilio for communications. It also required an integration with our website.Initially, we provided Appinventiv with our designs and Figma files, as well as with user story requirements for all the experiences we needed to build. From there, they built the app for both iOS and Android devices — that's why we chose React Native to build it.In addition to the integrations mentioned, Appinventiv also helped us with a Mixpanel integration to instrument and track usage. Additionally, they provided project management support to track developer deliverables and help us do incremental coordination with our accounts team.

We worked with three team members from Appinventiv: a backend developer, a frontend developer, and the project manager who offered intermediate support.

Appinventiv came as a recommendation from a couple of friends who have also worked with them on their own startup. Previously, we had shopped around and cold-called a couple of service providers, but we had no success. After speaking with our friends, who spoke very highly of Appinventiv, we decided to give them a shot.The other thing that sold us on the relationship was their flexibility in working with us on the contract terms and making adjustments to the contract itself to help us complete this project.

We spent around $180,000.

The contract with Appinventiv was in place for about 16 months. We started working together in March 2023, and we wrapped up the engagement in July 2024. Now, we're planning to revisit a larger contract with them once we raise funds and have the ability to prove product market fit by growing our user base.

Appinventiv was very helpful in developing our mobile app from beginning to end and completing the project as we defined it. Throughout the project, they were very receptive to feedback and addressed bugs quickly.

Appinventiv delivered on time and on budget. Still, the success of our project was highly attributed to our regular communication. The team put a lot of our requirements in a Trello dashboard, where we were able to track the project on a sprint basis. We also had stand-up meetings every business day.Moreover, we received task report updates at the end of every day. Whatever Appinventiv told us they would work on each day, they would send us an update via Slack at the end of that day to tell us what they had accomplished and what not. In addition to Trello and Slack, we also used Skype and Google Meet.

We worked with a number of developers from Appinventiv throughout the process as they were cycling in and out of the project. Still, the developers who were able to demonstrate a lot of growth and contribute a lot to the project, both in execution and strategy, were Harpreet (Former Senior Android Developer) and Nishant (Software Engineer).

We appreciated Appinventiv's flexibility. We released an alpha app and received a lot of feedback and lessons. Then, Appinventiv's team was able to extend the contract to complete all the beta experiences that we needed to implement based on that initial feedback.Still, their most impressive quality was their intent to cultivate a relationship with us and invest in not only us as a team but in our product as well.

I can't think of anything they could improve on.

The biggest thing is regular and frequent communication. Based on my years of experience, throwing requirements over the wall isn't enough. Meeting with the engineers daily, getting regular updates, and clarifying requirements throughout the development process led us to the success of our relationship with Appinventiv.Communicating regularly helps both parties stay on the same page, so the more frequent communication you can have, the higher the probability you'll have for success.

Entrusting them with the task of bringing our externally designed visions to life, they exceeded expectations at every step of the development process. Collaboration and Adaptability One of the standout qualities of Appinventiv was their remarkable ability to collaborate closely with our design team. Their willingness and ability to adapt to the designs provided, and their commitment to preserving the integrity of our vision while navigating the technical intricacies of iOS app development, were commendable. Their approach was always solutions-oriented, ensuring that the final product not only aligned with our designs but also adhered to the best practices for iOS apps. Technical Proficiency and Execution Throughout the development phase, Appinventiv's technical proficiency was evident. Their developers demonstrated a deep understanding of the iOS platform, utilizing their expertise to implement features exactly as envisioned. They tackled potential challenges proactively, ensuring that the app was not only visually faithful to the designs but also robust, scalable, and performance-oriented. Communication and Project Management Communication with Appinventiv was seamless. They ensured transparency and maintained regular updates, keeping us in the loop on progress, challenges, and solutions. Their project management was impeccable, adhering to timelines and delivering milestones as planned. The team's responsiveness and openness to feedback made the entire process smooth and collaborative. Final Product and Support The final iOS app for Plandid was a testament to Appinventiv's commitment to quality and excellence. They delivered a product that was not just a direct reflection of our designs but also a high-performing, user-friendly app that stood out in the market. Post-launch, their support was unwavering, with the team readily available to address any tweaks or enhancements needed. Conclusion Partnering with Appinventiv for the development of Plandid's iOS app was a strategic and rewarding decision. Their expertise, adaptability, and dedication to our project played a crucial role in turning our vision into a reality. We highly recommend Appinventiv to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and collaborative app development partner.

To track the progress and success of the Plandid iOS app development project undertaken by Appinventiv, we established six key milestones. These milestones served as our benchmarks for measuring outcomes and ensuring that the project was advancing as planned. Achieving each milestone represented a significant step forward in the development process, reflecting both progress and success in our collaboration. The completion of these milestones within their respective timelines and to the specified standards was instrumental in gauging the project's overall success and the effectiveness of our partnership with Appinventiv.

Appinventiv's project management was generally effective, delivering items on time with some exceptions due to occasional delays and misunderstandings. However, they were responsive and quick to resolve issues, ensuring we were always on the same page. Their commitment to clear communication and problem-solving was evident in how they addressed our needs and managed the project.

What stood out most about Appinventiv was their exceptional ability to blend technical expertise with proactive problem-solving. Their team not only delivered high-quality work but also anticipated and addressed potential challenges efficiently, making the entire development process smooth and effective. This proactive approach was both impressive and unique, setting them apart in the app development landscape.

An area for improvement for Appinventiv would be ensuring a more precise alignment with client designs from the project outset. Initially, we experienced challenges with the team accurately matching our screen designs. Over time, this issue was resolved as Appinventiv adapted and refined their approach to more closely meet our specifications, demonstrating their commitment to quality and client satisfaction.

The work has been cut across 8 areas of expertise:

I have loved working with APPinventiv. In order to answer this question I am searching for something constructive. If I was to select an area and I would it is possible that design skills could be more on trend.
