Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Owen Campbell / CEO | Oct 04, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

DS Creative was brought in to develop and audit smart contracts for a tokenized loyalty program. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The project took roughly 8 months from kickoff to launch.

Great Experience With DS Creative on Our Mobile App Development Project

Layla Al Nuaimi / VP of Engineering | Aug 26, 2026

DS Creative 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.

Reliable AR/VR Development Partner That Delivered What They Promised

Megan Reed / CEO | Aug 03, 2026

We were happy with the final result. 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. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Good results, communication improved as the project went on

Rachel Wong / Head of Engineering | Jul 07, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. 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 team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

The Mobile App Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail. We would definitely work with them again.

We engaged DS Creative to develop a field-staff app with offline mode that syncs back to our main system. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. The project took roughly 3 months from kickoff to launch.

A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Kelly Henderson / CEO | Jul 04, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Mark Johnson / Senior Product Manager | May 29, 2026

They listened, asked the right questions, and delivered

Naledi Dlamini / Founder | May 07, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. I would recommend DS Creative to anyone looking for a dependable Software Development partner.

Project summary

We partnered with DS Creative to build a custom operations platform to replace the spreadsheets and email threads we were running the business on. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. Overall it was a 9-month engagement.
