Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Sam Wilson / VP of Engineering | Oct 15, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We hired 5StarDesigners Ltd. to rebuild our existing mobile app, which had poor reviews and frequent crashes. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The project took roughly 6 months from kickoff to launch.

5StarDesigners Ltd. did an excellent job for us. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. Communication was consistent.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. I would recommend 5StarDesigners Ltd. to anyone looking for a dependable Quality Assurance & Testing partner.

Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Joanne Tan / Program Manager | Sep 18, 2026

Our experience with 5StarDesigners Ltd. was really positive from start to finish. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

We hired 5StarDesigners Ltd. to automate document data extraction that our team was doing by hand. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. Overall it was a 3-month engagement.
