      Angie Tromley-Morales, PMP CEO at House Caddy
      5.0

      Mobile App Development Review from Angie Tromley-Morales, PMP

      We hired Empat to design and build the MVP of House Caddy, a household management app that keeps receipts, warranties, manuals, and repair history in one place, with reminders for expiring warranties and maintenance. The product also helps homeowners prepare a full digital home history for future property transfers.Empat delivered end-to-end work: discovery, UX/UI design, Flutter mobile development, and a Python backend. They implemented a clear flow where users first create home appliances/systems and then attach documents and repairs to each item.A major highlight was Empats AI expertise. AI features simplify the entire user journey by auto-filling appliance details from photos/docs/links, assisting with utility provider setup, and importing contacts to speed up adding contractors. This reduced manual input and made onboarding fast and intuitive.Communication was excellent, with proactive brainstorming, clear sprint updates, and on-time delivery. The MVP is market-ready, early feedback is very positive, and Empat proved to be a reliable, product-driven partner with strong mobile, backend, and AI capabilities.

      In addition to building out a native remote inspection app for iPads, Zco concurrently ported the software to a Xamarin platform for Windows users. Zco has released nine major iterations of the iPad app, each available in the App Store, as well as the initial version of the cross-platform Xamarin build. Their nimble team boasts a wide breadth of skills to match any given situation. Having clear documentation upfront has reduced onboarding time.

      Mobile App Development Review from Mark Joy

      Dima S. responded to one of my job postings on Upwork for creating an audio-related application. He explained the estimated cost of developing such an app, and advised that it would be much more costly than I had anticipated. I was not familiar at all with the costs associated with developing apps, so his explanation was very helpful.He saved me money by going above and beyond to research existing apps that provided similar functionality to the requirements I was seeking. He also found instructions for using native Apple settings for audio that would solve my problem. The settings he found even allowed import of an audiogram that I had gotten at the audiologist for my specifc problem.Though he did not end up developing an app for me, Dima saved me a ton of money by spending his time to research possible existing solutions which I had not found during my own search.I would highly recommend Dima for his level of care for projects and his customers.

      Working with CitrusDev was very comfortable and convenient.CitrusDev developed a website (WordPress) for me with the services I provide to my clients.Since I have a shortage of time, it was important that the team did not need my constant involvement in the process.After discussing all the details, we met a few times to decide on further actions and make corrections.The work format was convenient and clear. And most importantly, it was flexible.The team responded quickly when changes were needed and gave advice for better results.I am happy with our joint project and want to thank CitrusDev for their professionalism and ease of work.Thank you.And I recommend them.

      We approached Flynn Product Designs back in 2015 for help with our GPS cat collar. It was far too bulky and heavy. Chris understood the core issues, and set about resolving them in a new and fresh manner. Starting from scratch he re-engineered the design to provide us with a cutting edge solution which was unique on t he market. In terms of effort he went far, far beyond what would be expected, and helped us out for the next 12 months all the way to launch and production.We have continued to work with Chris, and we are looking forward to launching our new model with him in the next month. He is conscientious, dedicated and will do his best to make sure that the project develops as you want.

      ISBX is a very professional and talented web development company. The overall experience I had with them in the redesign of our website was outstanding. They were extremely creative, provided viable options at all junctures, and delivered on time and on budget. ISBX also provided a very hands-on, and professional team who understood our need for brand engagement and outreach to a new audience with our website refresh. The team also optimized the new site for mobile usage which was very important to us. ISBX successfully executed our complex project efficiently, with excellent communication and attention to detail at every step. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.

  • Absence of case studies
  • Outdated tools and technologies
  • Lack of robust security protocols
  • Frequent reports of downtime, hacks, and compliance issues
  • Vendor lock-ins

What key questions should you ask before hiring an IoT development company?

Before hiring an IoT development company, ask the following questions:

  1. Have you worked with similar companies, industries, or projects before?
  2. Can you walk me through your IoT development process?
  3. What technologies, programming languages, and platforms do you use to build an IoT system?
  4. What are your systems for securing data collected on IoT devices? How do you ensure legal and ethical compliance?
  5. What security protocols do you have to safeguard against security breaches and potential cyber-attacks?
  6. How much do your services cost? Do you charge per hour, per month, per result, or a flat fee?
  7. What is my estimated project timeline?
  8. How will you integrate the IoT solution with my current tech stack?

How does IoT development differ from standard software or embedded systems projects?

IoT development integrates hardware, connectivity, and cloud systems, requiring expertise in sensors, communication protocols, and real-time data handling. Traditional software focuses mainly on apps or servers without managing physical devices.

Unlike embedded systems, IoT extends beyond standalone device logic by enabling internet connectivity, remote updates, and large-scale data analytics. It emphasizes scalability and security, while embedded projects usually focus on localized, device-specific functionality.

What platforms and frameworks do top IoT agencies use?

IoT agencies use the following platforms and frameworks:

  • Cloud IoT platforms: AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google Cloud IoT, IBM Watson IoT, Oracle IoT Cloud
  • Industrial/IIoT platforms: Siemens MindSphere, ThingWorx, Cumulocity IoT, Arm Pelion
  • Open-source frameworks: DeviceHive, Mainflux, Thinger.io, Kaa IoT, Zetta, Eclipse IoT
  • Embedded firmware and RTOS: Mongoose OS, Apache Mynewt, RT-Thread
  • Data and messaging tools: Apache IoTDB, Apache Kafka
  • Prototyping and visual tools: Node-RED, Arduino, PlatformIO, ThingSpeak
