Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive Blockchain Development Team

Jonas Fischer / Co-Founder | Oct 05, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

The App Design was brought in to build a Web3 dashboard and wallet integration for our platform. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. The engagement ran for about 3 months.

Professional team that made a complex project feel manageable

Eric Bennett / Head of Engineering | Sep 08, 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. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

The CRM Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out.

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

Reliable Cloud Services Partner That Delivered What They Promised

Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. 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.

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

If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Heather Wallace / Chief Digital Officer | May 29, 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. 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. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We engaged The App Design to customize our CRM and connect it to our website and billing system. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The project took roughly 4 months from kickoff to launch.

Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Carlos Graham / IT Director | May 11, 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. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

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

Project summary

We partnered with The App Design 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. The engagement ran for about 6 months.

Would happily work with them again

Huda Al Zahrani / Senior Product Manager | Mar 31, 2026

Our experience with The App Design was really positive from start to finish. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.
