Would happily work with them again

Amanda Henderson / Owner | Sep 17, 2026

Our experience with CI Design Inc. was really positive from start to finish. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since.

I would recommend CI Design Inc. to anyone looking for a dependable Mobile App Development partner.

Project summary

We engaged CI Design Inc. to rebuild our existing mobile app, which had poor reviews and frequent crashes. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The engagement ran for about 2 months.
