CHALLENGE: Our goal was to develop an app for a Wi-Fi Display (Android), an iOS app for managing it, and backend for supporting these products.
SOLUTION: In iOS app development, we decided to use highly efficient tools like Realm or Texture which covered the database notifications and UI respectively. When it comes to Display development – it doesn’t have a touchscreen – so the whole navigation we were developing had to match this device’s characteristic. We created our own custom architecture dedicated to Loop app. In backend development, we created a client direct upload flow using AWS services like S3, Lambda, and Elastic Transcoder.
Check out the app’s case study >>

Android App Dev for Technology Consulting Organization
"Droids on Roids values excellence."
the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the lead software developer at a technology consulting organization.
For what projects/services did your company hire Droids On Roids?
We hired Droids on Roids to cover the Android development of a recent mobile app project.
What were your goals for this project?
We wanted to complete an MVP of our app for an affordable cost so that we can start piloting the project to investigate usefulness among target users.
How did you select Droids On Roids?
We found Droids on Roids here on Clutch and decided to go with them based on a number of factors. After reaching out to a number of different groups and getting initial quotes, we were impressed by the detailed questions Droids on Roids asked to help clarify the project, and how detailed their estimate was.
Some of the other groups we reached out to gave extremely broad ballparks without having a substantial understanding of our project. Another factor that influenced our decision was their affordable hourly rate, coupled with a focus on quality and testing.
Although Droids is less expensive than a lot of other groups, they have a significant focus on code quality, and we found their work to be excellent. Droids also has a great reputation online. They have a number of popular repositories on Github, and have a good presence on social media and other websites.
Describe the project in detail.
We developed an Android app that involved a significant amount of local file management. Our developer had never created an app that required so much file system management, but he learned quickly and was able to ask different people at the organization for help on some of the more difficult parts of the project.
What was the team composition?
The team was composed of myself (the project owner), a Scrum Master, an Android Developer, a QA Specialist, a UI Designer, and a Financial Specialist. The developer was full-time, and the designer was full time for the first half of the project. Other team members were working on other concurrent projects.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The MVP that we created works well, with few bugs and issues so far.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
We met biweekly for Scrum meetings, and on the off weeks we met to look over the financial estimates as they changed throughout the project.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Droids on Roids values excellence. The developer was a great critical thinker, the designer had a fantastic grasp on usability principles, and the QA specialist caught some very random, fringe bugs that many people would have missed.
If I ever suggested an idea that would end up compromising the quality of the app, the team held to their values of quality and usability while suggesting other options and paths we could take for my various suggestions.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Due to the nature of our project, we went significantly over budget from the initial estimation. While this is not uncommon in software projects, it would have been helpful to have caught this a bit earlier on in the process so we could have pivoted earlier and reduced costs.

“They are a very easy company to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone out there looking to develop an app.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
Respondent 1: I’m the CEO and co-business owner with my business partner.
Respondent 2: I am the co-business partner and the CMO.
What challenge were you trying to address with Droids On Roids?
R1: We wanted to create an app that helps reduce the mental health stigma on teenagers who are going through difficult matters. Droids On Roids is developing the application for us.
What was the scope of their involvement?
R1: The app is being developed for Android and iOS. The functionality of the app is to allow students to help other students. One aspect of it is peer-to-peer help for challenges that students have in their life. The app will allow teenagers to communicate with each other regarding challenges and also receive inspiration from each other through video messages. They will have access to mental health resources; by going to one of the pages on the app, they can dive deeper into a challenge or an issue that is troubling them.
Users of the app will be able to get more information through our resource pages. At one particular stage, they will also get inspirational and motivational messages from public figures and celebrities. These individuals will offer kind messages or perhaps share a challenge that they have gone through themselves, which the students may be able to relate to.
What is the team composition?
R1: We are working with about 10 individuals altogether. We work with the owner separately, and we have extensively worked with a scrum master and designer. The designer is amazing, and her creative skills are really knocking it out of the park. We are just very impressed with her ability.
Other people are working on the backend or on the Android mobile or iOS mobile. I believe they have a couple of people on the frontend and the admin panel.
How did you come to work with Droids On Roids?
R1: A person we have been working with on web development for 8–10 years referred us to Droids On Roids. Another colleague of his had a connection to them, and that is how we got the introduction.
We did our own homework and interviewed several app developers to try and see who would best fit our needs, scope of work, and what we are trying to accomplish. When we interviewed the owner of Droids On Roids, we were quite impressed with his sense of professionalism, organization, clear thinking process, and strategic skillset. He was able to understand what we were trying to convey based on our research and the preliminary scope designs that we did, and he responded accordingly. He just understood what we were trying to accomplish and gave us next-level advice.
We went through several weeks of interviews with the owner, and we also went back and forth with developers from Droids On Roids. Based on that active dialogue, as well as the company’s credibility with all of the apps that they have developed, we were quite impressed and felt good about them. We were pretty much sold after those interviews.
What is the status of this engagement?
R2: The project started in September 2020, and it is ongoing. Our goal is to continue with them on the next phases of the app as various funding comes in.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
R1: The app is going to go through a soft launch in January, so it’s not out to the public yet. Phase one of development will end on December 30th. We are doing our Google and Apple Store applications, and we are hopeful that we will have the app available to a targeted group within Orange County to test it out.
How did Droids On Roids perform from a project management standpoint?
R2: We have been very impressed with Droids On Roids. They’re very organized. From a communication standpoint, we are very pleased. They have several communication methods established and setup. We are based in the US and they are based in Poland. We use Slack as a communication tool, and the developers can ask us questions on specific task items. We go through the project’s tasks once a day, and we can see each other’s feedback. Everyone is constantly communicating and understanding each other. We are impressed with this communication method, as it ensures that everybody knows what each side is doing.
There is another system that they work on internally called Jira, and this is more on the technology side. We are notified of these communications between them, and we can see some of the details of the different tasks that they are all working on. We like that methodology; even though it is more for them, we are notified and can chime in at any time if we have questions.
We have a bi-weekly team meeting, which includes all of their team and us. The meeting lasts a couple of hours, during which time they present to us, and we have the chance to respond accordingly and ask questions. That is a good time for us to get updates on what they have been doing and the development of the app. It is very cool to see their progress. They have been very cordial; if we ever want to have additional meetings, they have encouraged us to schedule those. We have taken that opportunity and scheduled meetings with specific team members, such as the graphic designer or someone working on the frontend.
We are about to start beta testing, and we are very excited about that. From that standpoint, and everything that we are doing, I feel very good about the project.
What did you find most impressive about them?
R2: I’ve been most impressed by their organization. Their open communication policy is noteworthy, as is their willingness to work with us and implement our vision accordingly without leading us astray or going down a different path. They really want to see our vision come to life, and they’ve not only been accommodating but also encouraging.
R1: I would agree. We worked with lots of people in our careers. Some vendors, especially in the technology field, try to get you to go their way or push their agenda. What’s nice about Droids On Roids is that they haven’t done that at all with us.
We were very clear as to what we wanted to get accomplished, and they helped us define it further. They were really affirming in helping us to make sure we got our vision clearly developed within the technology of the app.
Their communication is very clear, and they are very accommodating. They are a very easy company to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone out there looking to develop an app. They are a very good organization.
Are there any areas they could improve?
R2: Even if they were not based where they are, I think things sometimes fall through the cracks. There is occasionally a little communication gap. We are pretty efficient about sealing those cracks and trying not to let those things happen again, but I would say that the only shortcoming we have both experienced are communication misunderstandings and errors here and there.
R1: This is a learning process for us as well. In my experience, I have worked on developing databases, but this is the first time I have worked on developing an app. Even though the technology is similar in some ways, it is also very different in many regards.
From a communication standpoint, it would be helpful to get a clear understanding of the technical language. For example, the designer is very good, and she has grasped everything we said. However, there are some times a developer or two to whom we have to reiterate things on Slack. The good news is that once we get it reiterated, it’s finished.
There has never been anything that concerned us or that was disconcerting in terms of cost. It has just been minor stuff. As you grow with any team, you experience growing pains in the beginning. However, we got through that.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
R1: I’d recommend getting your scope of work down right out of the gate. Write it down rather than just talking about it. It is always best to make sure you know what you want. To be fair to the developer, you need to be clear. They’re very organized, so if you are, too, it’ll be a match.
Fortunately for us, we are very organized; we had our scope defined, and it was great right off the gate. We worked on the scope and then applied it to their systems and their procedures, and we were able to get that match pretty much from the get-go.
R2: Just go in prepped, and you’ll be good to go. They are great with their guidance, so I think that being prepped as much as you can ahead of time only enhances your experience with them.

Introduce your business and what you do there.
Our company – Lamah Technologies – is one of the biggest businesses developing digital software and technical solutions in Libya, with a focus on changing local citizens' lives for the better. Our main projects include digital applications that directly serve the public needs in our society.
Tam app is one of our major projects and was designed to ensure the 24-hour-per-day on-demand connection between riders and drivers on both Android and iOS in Libya.
I hold the position of CTO in this company.
What challenge were you trying to address with the vendor?
We needed a mobile app development company with top market knowledge and experience to design and develop Tam – a complex app for Libya, which would respond to many problems, like food delivery, car sharing and e-wallet, etc.. More specifically, we needed:
an app for clients,
an app for drivers,
an app for restaurants,
an app for couriers,
e-wallet app,
other similar.
Tam should ensure a 24-hour-per-day on-demand connection between clients and mentioned services on both Android and iOS platforms.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We started our cooperation with a 3-day Product Design Workshop to clarify the app’s idea and get ready for development, which took place in July 2019.
Droids On Roids’ team is responsible for UX/UI design, iOS app development, Android app development, Backend and Frontend development, and ensuring Quality Assurance.
The first component of Tam app will work in a very similar way as Uber do. The general app logic is as follows:
1. Request. The customer requests a car via the app. The request is sent to nearby drivers.
2. Matching. The driver may either accept or reject the ride.
3: Ride. The customer tracks the driver's location and sees the estimated time of his arrival.
4: Price. The app provides the price based on the length of the trip. The passenger pays the driver in cash.
5. Rating. The client gives a score for a driver.
Importantly, since the application will be used in Libya, the clients can indicate whether they want to ride with male and/or female drivers. The driver makes a similar choice.
Ultimately, the application also has a lot of offline functionality. Internet access is only required during route mapping and rerouting, as it is necessary to download traffic information. Tam app should utilize the internet as little as possible, to ease consumption,, so the whole map of Libya will be stitched in the application on the local server.
It is also important for me that the application should be resistant to potential failures and accidents - if the driver's phone turns off then, after turning it on again, we should recover the ride and its data.
Basic features of the app for customers include: Geolocation and routing, Registration and personal data management, calling or texting the driver right from the app, Push notifications, Ride cost & time estimation, and more.
Basic features of the app for drivers include: Driver reports, Advanced route optimization, Calling a passenger from the app, Calling an emergency number, Client - driver matching, Waiting for new orders / Occupied option, and more. Additionally, drivers can choose if they are available for only short rides, or long ones (between cities).
What is the team composition?
The development team consisted of 1 Scrum Master, 1 UX/UI designer, 2-4 Android developers, 2-3 iOS developers, 2 QA engineers, 3-4 Backend developers and 2 Frontend developers. I appreciate their team’s flexibility – the team’s size was adjusted according to the project’s needs.
How did you come to work with the vendor?
We found Droids On Roids through Clutch. They gained our general interest through their high ratings and positive reviews so we decided to meet with them in person.
We perceive their location in Poland as an advantage, because we have good air connections with their city. We were also impressed by their portfolio and extensive experience.
The overall impression we had after meeting Droids On Roids and analyzing their offer was unbeatable and we decided to entrust our core projects into their hands.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent around $300,000 so far, but the whole project is estimated at $500,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We are going to continue developing the product and deliver next components.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The app development is in progress, so the apps are not released. We are pleased with what we have already developed together. The code is of the highest quality and the implemented features meet our expectations. Working in Scrum facilitates ongoing progress monitoring.
We have already received the beta version of the application for drivers and we are now testing it internally in our company.
How did the vendor perform from a project management standpoint?
Outstanding. We are very satisfied with their project management capabilities, which made our app development smooth and efficient.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I appreciate the communicative collaboration among their team - and with us - on a personal level.
What’s more, I highly value their astounding organizational skills and scheduling abilities. Time is high of the essence to them. They are very efficient and punctual with deadlines.
They are also experts in project management tools. Droids on Roids generously provided advice, suggestions and expertise in their field of work for the benefit of our project, assuring us that it would not only be executed but also further developed and improved.
As an example, it turned out that we have a problem with navigation and the developers quickly discovered that the reason lies in the incorrectly tagged streets in Libya. With this knowledge, we can look for a solution and move forward. This proactive approach is one of their main strengths.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No. Our experience with them so far is very satisfying.

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder and president of the Be-IQ company (http://beiq.com(link is external)). We create solutions to enable individuals to understand the impact of their behavioral biases.
Conducting frequent behavioral research (including experimental research), Be-IQ explores cognitive biases and heuristics, as well as providing next-generation risk-profiling based on the behaviors that most influence financial decision making.
As the world’s first truly behavioral risk profiling service, Be-IQ is transforming how banks, robo services and client-focused financial services companies account for suitability and financial wellbeing.
What challenge were you trying to address with the vendor?
We needed a mobile application for the iOS platform that would measure people's behavior through attractive games.
Based on decisions made by a user in a game, the BEAM app should assess the user's attitude to investing, taking loans or making other key financial decisions.
An important requirement was that the application should be user-friendly and visually top-notch. We wanted it to contain attractive animations, so playing games would be pleasant and engaging.
Under our business model, BEAM will be recommend by companies and financial institutions to their clients. Those that use it will gain a broader picture of themselves, while financial institutions can give them better financial advice.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Droids On Roids’ team was responsible for iOS mobile app development and providing Quality Assurance. Their team was cooperating with a backend developer from our side. We delivered initial designs and Droids On Roids’ developers both animated and implemented them, which was challenging due to our high expectations in this field.
What is the team composition?
The team consisted of an iOS developer, QA engineer, Scrum Master.
How did you come to work with the vendor?
I was looking for a mobile app development company in Poland, and I found them on Google. I was impressed by their portfolio, website, clients’ reviews and their processes presented during our call.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent around 110,000 euros ($123,385 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
The app was already released. Now, we are raising funds to continue the development process and create the Android version of the application, also with Droids On Roids.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
BEAM is on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/beam/id1473246949
How did the vendor perform from a project management standpoint?
Excellent. We are very satisfied with their project management.
From the very beginning, I knew how our cooperation process would look like and what my role would be. Working in Scrum provided full transparency and I was up to date with everything what was going in the project.
During the kick-off meeting, we agreed together on the rules of our cooperation. I have also been introduced to all necessary tools that streamlined the process.
Jump on a call with Droids On Roids, ask them questions and learn their processes. For me, it was very important to know how they work and what I can expect. This conversation dispelled all doubts I had. And I am very satisfied with my choice.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Despite working from different locations, I felt that we were one, great team that plays to one goal.
I really appreciate that I had a direct contact with each member of the development team – through Slack, e-mail, video call and during Scrum meetings. Smooth and transparent communication without a single middleman guaranteed me a product exactly fitting my expectations.
I also appreciate that the developers did not use native components, but created their own custom elements to implement attractive, unique design and animations.
They made an awesome job, they faced a challenging task of meeting our expectations and providing an amazing UX. I doubt anyone else could have faced it. Amazing teamwork and workflow.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I don't see anything like that.

Product Design Workshop for Bank
“They had fresh ideas and a good understanding of what we do.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the head of treasury for a large Polish bank.
What challenge were you trying to address with Droids On Roids?
We wanted to create a unique way for our customers to learn about the bank’s treasury product. We didn’t want to do a product presentation, since that is what everyone does; instead, we wanted to create a mobile app treasury game that our customers can play.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We had a meeting and then a one-day session. Then, we had an intense two-day workshop with them on how to create our iOS game on mobile devices and tablets. There was a team from Droids On Roids and a team from my bank at the workshop. Altogether, the project was around four days.
Their idea was to gather 6–10 customers at our office and then host a 2-hour game, during which the customers can compete. It’s a simulation over four years. The customers act as the finance director and, every year, they need to make choices and buy products with the bank. It allows customers to get to know the products. It’s learning and having fun in one. The game had to be exciting, because it’s two hours long.
Droids On Roids had the best idea, but we chose another company to develop the app because my budget was too low to do it with them.
What is the team composition?
There was the owner Wojciech (CEO & President) and around five people who worked on the design, idea creation, and how the functionalities should work.
How did you come to work with Droids On Roids?
We talked with five companies, and they were the best workshop we had. They were very well prepared. I just had the idea, and I needed some creative people to make it happen. I enjoyed the process because they had a lot of ideas and were very flexible. The idea that they created was the best.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working together in 2018. In 2019, we had the second session.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Of the workshops we did with five companies, Droids On Roids led the best one. They had fresh ideas and a good understanding of what we do. Their ideas were really helpful for me, and I knew what direction to take. They had really helpful, creative people.
How did Droids On Roids perform from a project management standpoint?
They were young and very open. I enjoyed working with them.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’ve done many projects, so their knowledge of how to do mobile apps is very wide. They knew what they were talking about. They were very friendly.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Their prices were pretty high. I was surprised by how prepared they were and how good their ideas were.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Other companies should ask them for some ideas. Their approach is to do a workshop with customers to understand. They jump deep into your needs. After a few hours, they can prepare the proposition for you. It’s a good approach that they have.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO of Sprzedajemy.pl, the second largest classified marketplace in Poland.
What challenge were you trying to address with Droids On Roids?
We needed someone with top market knowledge and experience to help us with product design and research.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We asked Droids On Roids to work out the general strategy of how to develop our apps. They organized a workshop and asked a number of questions about our goals, what should be measured, what stood behind our logic to go mobile, and why we wanted to launch the app. They structured the process and organized a 3–4-day workshop that involved the whole team on our side.
After the workshop, we were able to define what our goal was and how to build the apps.
Then, we asked them to design our UX/UI and graphical design. By the end of the year, we finished the project. We moved the backend development to a more cost-effective company. We wanted to work with Droids On Roids, but they were fully booked and couldn’t give us a discount.
What is the team composition?
There were 5–6 people, including project managers, developers, account managers, and the CEO.
How did you come to work with Droids On Roids?
They’re based in the same city as us. We got introduced and were impressed by their expertise. We knew they worked for international clients, which was very important for us. We’ve worked with local companies before, but we needed a company with better competency and international experience and knowledge.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent €20,000 (approximately $22,700 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from June 2018 until the end of that year.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Due to the cheap rates we paid the new developer, the project took more than a year to complete, which was longer than we expected. However, the apps run so well. Our ratings are 4.8 and 4.9 in the App Store. Droid On Roids’ work was very good. The goal has been achieved. The number of downloads isn’t that high because we haven’t promoted the apps yet, and we’re still testing it. We collect feedback from our customers.
How did Droids On Roids perform from a project management standpoint?
Droids On Roids had very well-structured processes. They were very organized, and they guided us through the whole logical process. They asked questions that you don’t usually think of. They instructed us in the right way.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re an honest team that does a good job. It was not like a sales pitch – it was extremely well-invested cash.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, there’s nothing I’d have them improve.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I recommend doing the workshops. You can rely on them – they have the experience and a proper team and structure in place. They deliver what they promise. You can leverage their experience.

Cross-Platform App Dev for Software Startup
"Droids on Roids made me a part of their team, which I really enjoy."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder and president of a small startup that builds software. We offer an app that’s based on timeliness.
What challenge were you trying to address with Droids on Roids?
We built the native iOS version of our app with a different agency. While that agency started to build the first version, we heard about Google Flutter. We decided to build the Android version in Flutter, which is cross-platform. The first agency at the time didn’t have experience in Flutter, so we needed another partner.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Droids on Roids’s primary responsibility is to rebuild the app that we built in Swift. They're rebuilding what we already had to be cross-platform. Their team’s currently working on a difficult backend feature.
How did you come to work with Droids on Roids?
We found them through a Flutter network in New York. There’s a group that’s interested in the Flutter platform that meets once every two months.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent a bit over $200,000 so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in March 2019 and the work’s ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We monitor their work closely. Many features went well but there are certain pieces of the application that are complex and aren’t working yet. We’ve struggled with one piece of the application. Droids on Roids is experienced but there’s a backend piece that’s tricky for them to get working properly.
How did Droids on Roids perform from a project management standpoint?
Their project management’s excellent. Their team’s communicative and on top of their tasks. We have good communication with the project managers. We have regularly scheduled meetings, but I can also reach out to them at any time. From the project managers to the developers, they’ve been great to work with.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I have direct access to the developers, which is nice. With a previous agency, the project managers directed the developers and I couldn’t communicate with them. Droids on Roids made me a part of their team, which I really enjoy. They allow us to work closely with their team including the developers and QA teammates.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They could be more proactive when there’s a problem or an issue. We had to push them to deal with our current feature situation. The piece of functionality is critical for the app to work properly. They were aware of the issue but didn’t proactively find a way to address it.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
If you want to be involved in the development process, they’re open to that. If that’s what you want, Droids on Roids will be a great partner. I’m confident that they could also manage a project in its entirety.
Droids On Roids was successful in creating a working MVP, although it currently has a few bugs and issues. The team conducted biweekly Scrum meetings and financial estimates discussion during the off weeks.
