The scope of this endeavor was quite extensive, encompassing not only the technical migration but also its publication on respective app stores. In summary, the initial mobile application built on Xamarin.Forms was a mid-size app that presented a few challenges, such as integrations with device camera, NFC reader, and geolocation features. Additionally, one of the most critical aspects of this project was the complete redesign of UI/UX for five specific user flows within the application.Key deliverables:

A standout achievement of this partnership was Horus' timely delivery. Despite the migration's challenges, they executed with precision, enabling us to fulfill the tight client-set deadlines and release to the stores on time. Their expertise and proactive approach not only ensured a seamless migration but also enhanced the application's robustness and user-friendliness.

We jointly opted for a sprint-based approach, working in two-week cycles. Each sprint began with detailed planning sessions to outline the features and views to migrate. At the end of each sprint, we scheduled brief progress demos and made the app available for testing on TestFlight and Google Play Closed Testing.Throughout our collaboration, Horus showed a keen understanding of both our needs and those of our client. While the project scope remained fairly consistent, they remained open to considering any potential adjustments that came up.

Virtual Meeting

My collaboration with Horus for our mobile app migration from legacy to a modern stack, was excellent in both technical and non-technical aspects. However, two distinct factors set them apart: First, Horus consistently maintained excellent communication throughout the project.From our initial meeting to every subsequent interaction, our exchanges were marked by clarity and efficiency, demonstrating their commitment. Additionally, they used an 'out of the box' template that allowed them to migrate several views to .NET MAUI on the first sprint, delivering tangible progress from the project's outset.

At the beginning of the project, we encountered some minor difficulties in configuring users due to the need to use a client repository. Although these minor setbacks did not have a significant impact on the project's execution or the planned schedule, we could have avoided these obstacles with a more streamlined and efficient initial setup.

CTO at healthcare company

We were launching a new product and needed android and ios mobile app created from scratch. We are developing a new distribution channel for health clinics.

We reviewed 5 vendors and received bids from 3, and selected Horus based on team engagement.

Horus worked with limited input to replicate core functionality from our web app. They designed the mobile app and experience by using the web app and quickly iterated on designs that met our needs.

We worked with a designer, pm, and developer each part time. Their flexibility was refreshing!

We were able to successfully launch the new native IOS and Android apps within 3 months.

We were able to move quickly with weekly check-ins supplemented with slack conversations for immediate feedback as needed. It was very fluid and adapted well to our learning and changing priorities.

I appreciated working with a small team that was clearly invested in their work and our product. Everyone was professional and seemed to enjoy their work. It was a great experience.

I was happy with this experience and would use them again to get a new app off the ground. Some more complicated issues required a bit more back and forth that could probably be resolved faster with improved communication.

My name is Analia Escalada, I’m the founder of Lookea, a startup launched in March, 2019. The company’s main goal is to connect brands, influencers and customers in order to improve the online shopping experience. We do so by providing our users with a platform where they can share their outlooks and tag brands, creating a buzz that boosts the aforementioned brands’ online traffic.

Lookae is a fashion startup and since its foundation over a year ago, we've been working on the implementation of an effective business model. We’ve also been focusing on the platform’s design. I contacted Hours for the app’s front and back end development. Our team was just getting started with the software design and development when we decided to welcome Horus to the team.

We wanted to build an intuitive platform that was easy to use and provided an optimal online shopping experience. It was essential for us to first create an MVP in order to validate if there were users interested in sharing their looks, brands motivated to get onboard and clients willing to get inspired and shop using the platform.

With our first investment round we assembled a team to develop the app. However, due to the pandemic we faced some delays on the development, which led me to look for new developers. That’s how I reached out to Horus, that soon brought together a dedicated team that not only moved forward with the app’s development, but also provided us with technical and moral support.

Once we selected them as our development partner, we had a series of discovery meetings to discuss our goals and expectations. We dedicated the project’s first weeks to study the business model and define our revenue strategy. Little by little we evolved the initial idea and finally set a revenue model that suited the brands we envisioned working with.

Initially, we were assigned a project manager to support us and serve as the main point of contact throughout the project. Soon, when we decided to get the design started in order to validate it with our clients as soon as possible, a UI/UX designer joined the team. We’ve been working with this designer since then, in sync with the rest of our team and always prioritizing our clients requirements.

The prototype was built from scratch in one month. As soon as we presented it to the brands, all of them showed interest and asked us when it would be launched and how much they could invest in it. It was a very positive feedback and these brands are now waiting for more information. Our goal now is to develop the MVP in order to get more insights from the market.

Since our first touchpoint I felt I was relying on a team that was willing to find the best solutions to all of the limitations we’ve faced. Some of our meetings were scheduled beforehand, as frequent checkpoints, but we also got together anytime we felt the need to discuss something.

I was blown away by this partner's knowledge of mobile app development, user experience, and optimization. We learned much more than we thought possible, and we appreciated their patience and thoughtfulness while we came up to speed. The team met every single expectation I had. They are committed professionals, totally dedicated to the project and eager to suggest improvements for its success.

The work they delivered is excpetional. Even though I had budget constraints, we found the best way to keep working together since we make such a good team

Any project we come across that needs mobile development is forwarder to Hours. We strongly believe in collaboration between both companies, we know how they work and the excellent products they always deliver.

For this project we had to deliver two different applications on very specific and strict deadline. They had to be up and running on every marketplaces.

Two applications. The first one was an android application that integrated the RFID technology. And for the second one we had to create a social feed for Android and iOS.

This project was for a traveling agency that specializes in student traveling groups. We created an application that helped them monitor and organize all the students traveling within their groups. This application was created to cover two very important needs.

1 product owner 1 UX/UI designer 2 Xamarin developers 2 Full stack developers (node, angular, sql server)

This Year the company manage four travels already. Each one with 650 passengers with their medical history and activities. The social feed application gave their parents the ability to see how their children’s trip was going on, and the outcome of the activities that they were involved in.

We work as one team using scrum methodologies. We had daily meeting to see the progress every day, and stay on the same page. Once a week we had meetings with the client to discuss the progress and to make sure we were meeting every deadline and expectations. They help us to prioritize tasks to be sure that we were on time, including any changes or new needs.

They are passionate about their work and knowledgeable about mobile development. We didn't need to get involve in any aspect of mobile development because they did everything, and they did it extremely well. This gave as more time to work on other things.

What we think could be interesting, is for them to share some of their mobile knowledge . so if need be we could give them a hand.
