Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive Mobile App Development Team

Julia Koch / Chief Digital Officer | Aug 13, 2026

Venables Bell & Partners did an excellent job for us. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. 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.

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

Project summary

We partnered with Venables Bell & Partners to build iOS and Android apps for our customers, including booking, payments and push notifications. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. The project took roughly 6 months from kickoff to launch.

Horizon Studios GmbH is a Media & Entertainment business in Munich, Germany. As Chief Digital Officer, I was responsible for this project on our side and the main contact for Venables Bell & Partners.

Organised and transparent. Their project manager kept the project on track and flagged risks early.

Definitely. We have already started talking about the next phase.

Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Owen Thompson / Founder | Aug 11, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. 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 dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far.

Happy to recommend them.

They listened, asked the right questions, and delivered

Chris Hayes / Managing Director | May 17, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. We would definitely work with them again.
