STRV led the full product lifecycle, from UX design to backend infrastructure, to bring Laced’s mobile experience to life. Built in React Native, the result is a cross-platform app that’s clean, fast and built for growth.

The app has been a great success, quickly proving its value to our team. Without any formal marketing or promotion, we achieved approximately 10% adoption within the first weeks of launch. Early feedback has been very positive, with users praising its ease of use, speed, and reliability, and we are confident adoption will continue to grow as more people experience its benefits.

Everything was perfect throughout the project. The team was always on hand and ready to adjust and respond immediately. We could not have picked a better company to work with.

Very skilled tech and UX people. Generally very easy going and hard working nature of the people.

I'm an executive at a gifting company specializing in floral e-commerce. We have a centralized brand where we serve as a direct-to-consumer business to fulfill special moments across the U.S. for gifters looking to send a gift.

We have an internal development team, but we're small. Our biggest need was twofold: one on the DevOps side, and we didn't have anyone dedicated to infrastructure and architecture maintenance, as well as the frontend in Next.js.

STRV provides custom software development. We structured a few different phases of the project and created mini SOWs for each phase. The first one, they came in more as a consultant; they were just analyzing what we had done and provided recommendations to help guide our team. We quickly realized that what was going to be even more helpful was for them to code alongside our team.

We work with Ash as our main point of contact, Vitaly as the frontend engineer, and Tomas as the backend engineer.

We were talking with Vercel because we were trying to figure out whether we were going to host on Vercel or AWS. Through looking at the partner program on Vercel's website, we found STRV. In those conversations, they recommended specifically Tomas and Vitaly as the best two to help with this project.

We’ve invested between $150,000–$200,000.

We started working together in November 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

The biggest thing that was measuring success was unblocking our team and getting to the point where we were able to deploy all the new infrastructure and the new code. We've met biweekly, and there has been a lot of good feedback.

Everything has been handled well. We've used GitHub for documentation and infrastructure pieces, and we've handled everything through regular meeting syncs and GitHub. We've used Microsoft Teams as the primary day-to-day communication channel.

Their expertise has been impressive. Anytime we've encountered a problem and had a question, there has been a breadth of expertise or things that they have seen with other clients. They have seen a lot more than our team has, and that breadth and depth have been really helpful.

Some of the communication has been a little too direct. A lot of our team members who aren't used to that style of communication sometimes felt like we were doing something wrong. That is the only change in style that we had to get used to.

I communicated really well with Ash from an outside perspective to ensure the project was running smoothly. Internally, I had my lead developer on the project, ensuring he was giving me updates and getting what he needed from STRV.

I'm the head of engineering, data, and AI for a major sports league in the United States.

We wanted to rebuild our flagship app, which was built on legacy technology, natively for iOS and Android.

Two years ago, STRV helped us maintain our legacy app. However, about six months ago, we decided to have the team build a newer version of our app from scratch. STRV has helped us design and develop our app.

We work with a product team, a marketing team, and an engineering team.

STRV reached out to us when I joined the company two years ago. We started with one developer for the legacy app and increasingly engaged with STRV because they were delivering quality work and had sound engineers. Six months ago, we decided to have STRV build the new app.

We started working on the newer app in September 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

STRV has excellent engineers and developers who have helped us revamp our app's technology. The quality of their work is good. We've had bugs, but they've done a fantastic job delivering the app within six months. The team has delivered high-quality work in a short amount of time. STRV is a great partner.

STRV has a dedicated project manager who works with our project manager to align the timelines. The team is flexible and agile regarding changes and directions. We communicate via Slack, email, and Zoom. STRV uses Jira for project management and Confluence for the project's documentation.

STRV has performed well in project management, development, and UX/UI design. They bring a fresh perspective, act as great partners, and have excellent developers.

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

If you want to develop an app, work with STRV. They're great partners and have great developers. STRV isn't cheap, but you'll get high-quality work. One of their engineers is equivalent to a couple of engineers from other firms.

App developed and delivered to both the App Store and Play Store. Our digital product is in line with our expectations and goals. We continue to work with STRV to build out future releases - primarily due to their team and high quality of work.

We've worked with many teams and agencies in the past and we can confidentily say that STRV has been the best by far. The project management has been fantastic and our points of contact have heard all our needs, responded and delivered everything on time and inline with the quality we expect.

The team, the quality of their work, the excitment they have for our project, and the level of their communication has really stood out.

No, not from our perspective.

I'm the COO and co-founder of Mustard, a company that offers a motion analysis app.

We needed software development services, including UI/UX design, frontend development, and QC to build a golf product. Our goal was to create an MVP we could release to the marketplace.

STRV has helped us build a golf product from scratch. The team has gone from an idea to a beta app to a product launched in the market. STRV has used Figma for design and Swift for development. STRV works with our backend developer and computer vision team, who have built the app's backend using Ruby on Rails.

We've worked with a product manager, two frontend developers, a designer, and a QA engineer, as well as various teammates from STRV's business team.

STRV reached out to us. We talked to the team for a long time and got comfortable with them. We understood STRV was in it for the long haul and met them in person in Los Angeles. We talked to about nine agencies in our search and narrowed it down to STRV because we saw the great design work they had done with previous apps they had developed. STRV's Clutch reviews were helpful, and we also saw the types of developers they would have on the project, which was helpful.

We've spent $150,000 on the MVP, and overall, we've spent around $350,000.

We started working with STRV in December 2023, and our engagement is ongoing.

STRV has delivered the MVP and launched the app's first version on time and on budget. STRV communicates well with us. We've added the team to our Slack and use Jira for product management. We also use Google Docs for requirements.

Veronika (Product Manager) has been wonderful. She has put together the whole project and integrated the team. Veronika provides accurate estimates.

STRV has excellent designers, but design can be a roadblock, and we could use more design hours. However, the team is in the process of hiring designers, and this may not be an issue for much longer.

New clients are in good hands working with STRV. Customers will find a partner who is upfront and honest with them, trying to get the work done in the best way possible.
