Niek Design Group Reviews

Capable Mobile App Development team — happy with the end result

Sean Murphy / Co-Founder & CTO | Sep 21, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. 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. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail. I would recommend Niek Design Group to anyone looking for a dependable Mobile App Development partner.

Project summary

We hired Niek Design Group to rebuild our existing mobile app, which had poor reviews and frequent crashes. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. We worked together for around 7 months.

Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Harry Holmes / Marketing Director | Aug 31, 2026

Niek Design Group did an excellent job for us. 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. 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.

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Good value and a team that genuinely cares about the result

Sarah Campbell / Engineering Manager | Aug 02, 2026

Niek Design Group did an excellent job for us. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. 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.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. We would definitely work with them again.

Skilled Software Development Team That Understood Our Business

Ryan Brooks / Chief Digital Officer | May 02, 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. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

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

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

We hired Niek Design Group to build a custom operations platform to replace the spreadsheets and email threads we were running the business on. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. The project took roughly 9 months from kickoff to launch.

Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Charlotte Harding / Senior Engineering Manager | Mar 29, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. Communication was consistent.

Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far.

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.
