Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Sean Byrne / CTO | Oct 11, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. 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.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project.

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

We partnered with Designs Arena to build iOS and Android apps for our customers, including booking, payments and push notifications. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. Overall it was a 2-month engagement.

I work as CTO at Kinetic Auto Group. We operate in Automotive and most of our customers are in and around Cork, Ireland.

Designs Arena Delivered a Quality Game Development Solution on Time

Rahul Verma / Engineering Manager | Sep 26, 2026

Designs Arena did an excellent job for us. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

Our company worked with Designs Arena to develop a casual mobile game from concept to launch. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The project took roughly 8 months from kickoff to launch.

A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Jess Walker / Director | Sep 23, 2026

We were happy with the final result. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks.

I would recommend Designs Arena to anyone looking for a dependable Game Development partner.

Project summary

Ashley Miller / Director | Sep 10, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. 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.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. We are already discussing the next phase with them.
