Good results, communication improved as the project went on

Brandon Sullivan / CEO | Oct 17, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

The Mobile App Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks. I would recommend Optiblack to anyone looking for a dependable Mobile App Development partner.

Project summary

We partnered with Optiblack 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 7 months.

Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Eric Fisher / Director of IT | Oct 16, 2026

Optiblack 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. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

Optiblack was brought in to add an AI chatbot to our support site that answers questions from our help docs. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. Overall it was a 9-month engagement.

Capable Quality Assurance & Testing team — happy with the end result

Ben Hughes / Head of Product | Oct 05, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out. I would recommend Optiblack to anyone looking for a dependable Quality Assurance & Testing partner.

Project summary

We engaged Optiblack to run performance and load testing ahead of a big launch. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. Overall it was a 9-month engagement.

They listened, asked the right questions, and delivered

Megan Johnson / Director of Technology | Sep 01, 2026

Optiblack did an excellent job for us. 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 team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

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.

Dependable Cloud Services Partner for a Growing Human Resources Business

Oliver Harding / IT Manager | Jun 15, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Optiblack. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. 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. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned. I would recommend Optiblack to anyone looking for a dependable Cloud Services partner.
