HotShots Labs | IOS & Android | Flutter mobile app development

I’m the founder of a mobile app for sharing recommendations.

We needed to build a high-quality mobile app for iOS and Android.

HotShots Labs handles all aspects of design, UX, development (front-end and back-end), analytics dashboard, beta testing, and general tech support to be ready for launch. The team has provided designs through Figma and a completed app.

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from HotShots Labs.

We found them through an online search. We chose them over other options because they had high ratings, their pricing fit our budget, they had a great culture fit, and they had strong sample work.

We started working with them in January 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

HotShots Labs provides regular progress updates and consistently meets deliverable goals for new development features. While the app hasn’t launched yet, the UX and features developed by HotShots Labs have delivered on my expectations. We’ve received great feedback from the initial beta test that we’re currently running. The positive feedback relates to the intuitive usability of the app, the overall look, and functionality.

Their project management is top-notch. Their communication is clear, timely, and consistent. We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

HotShots Labs’ team cares deeply about delivering the best work possible. They serve as a partner more than a vendor. They’re proactive in making suggestions and are comfortable pushing back respectfully when they have better ideas than what is being presented to them. They deliver high quality across the board.

No, they meet and often exceed my expectations.

Upwork

We hired HotShots Labs to design and develop a custom mobile app for our DTC brand - a Bluetooth sleep mask company. The app needed to provide a seamless experience for our customers, allowing them to access a curated library of sleep sounds with offline downloads, custom playlists, favourites and an integrated sleep timer.

The project was a clear success, with the app now fully functional and live on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Project management was smooth and professional throughout. Communication took place over Slack, and the team was highly responsive to questions, feedback, and change requests - often replying within minutes.

Email or Messaging App

What impressed us most was their responsiveness, transparency, and the speed at which they resolved any issues that came up. Communication was always clear and proactive, and we felt genuinely supported throughout the entire process.

Nothing significant comes to mind. We were really happy with the overall experience.

This project required the development of a mobile application that enables:Explorers to select any place in the world, connect with available operators in the chosen area, and experience live streams as if they are physically present.

1. The app were delivered and published successfully2. All requirements were taken into account and built out3. The code was built up to standards and passed to me along with the documentation.

The management team (Jane and Alona) demonstrated excellent project management throughout the development process. The team were organized, transparent, and maintained regular communication, which made it easy to stay aligned at every stage. They were highly responsive to my feedback and adaptable to changing needs, ensuring the final product met my expectations.

Email or Messaging App

I trusted them completely since the beginning as I only had an idea. They helped me to define the project idea and scope and lead me throughout the project being fully transparent on their processes.

They handled the complex project and turned my idea into reality, I think they are professionals in their field.

The Tumbil project involved developing a comprehensive on-demand laundry service platform consisting of three interconnected applications: a customer-facing mobile app for iOS and Android, a service provider (WashPro) mobile app for iOS and Android, and a web-based administrative interface. The customer app features user registration, real-time order pricing, location-based scheduling, in-app messaging, and secure payment processing with tipping functionality. The WashPro app includes a verification process, multi-step workflow management (pickup, wash, weigh, deliver), earnings tracking, customizable service radius, and order documentation through photo capture. Key technical integrations include payment processing, real-time messaging, push notifications, geolocation services, customer support (Intercom), and email services (Mailgun). The platform implements advanced features such as dynamic pricing based on weight and service type, an intelligent order assignment algorithm that considers WashPro ranking and customer preferences, a pre-authorization payment system with final weight-based adjustments, and a comprehensive reporting system for both service providers and administrators.

The Hotshots team working with us (Alona, Eugenia, Maksym, Artur, etc.) were all excellent. The team is highly responsive, communication is superb, and great cultural fit as well.Project was delivered on time and within budget. Regardless complexity (and our project is complicated), their dev team was able to implement all required functionality and features.

Their dedication to both quality software and clear, constant communication made working with them an absolute pleasure.

Not really, they were pretty much all around great.

In this project we rebuilt our original application from scratch for the latest version of Flutter to remove some dependencies. The team quickly grasped the application’s essence and figured out how to work with the existing survey format and databases. They worked with us step by step and clarified all the details until they were certain they understood all the requirements correctly.

Most importantly, the app is finally available on both platforms, previously it was published only on Google Play, which means significant increase in access to our application. Also, the application’s responsiveness improved significantly. The user interface has also been improved significantly.

HotShots Labs demonstrated a highly organized and transparent project management. For real-time communication, we primarily used Slack. When it came to task management, we were integrated into their ClickUp workspace that facilitated easy communication. Any issues were communicated proactively, allowing for adjustments to be made. Issues were openly discussed and responded to. We found the team to be very responsive and that they care about their work.

HotShots Labs demonstrated a deep understanding of Flutter, they were able to guide us through different technical decisions, and they were able to quickly grasp our key requirements and implement them successfully. Beyond their technical capabilities, their team showcased soft skills, keeping us always up-to-date, and responding to issues or concerns without delay.

We are happy to recommend HotShots Labs particularly for technically savvy remote-first teams, and where asynchronous communication is appreciated.
