      UI/UX Design Review from Jamie Flett

      Chimpare Design Lab helped us with a UI/UX research process, which included in-person interviews where they walked users through unboxing, connecting, and using the features of our smart air conditioner. From there, the team took the findings and produced a report for us to make improvements to our app and increase our activation rates. In addition to the report, Momentum Design Lab also redesigned some parts of our app using Figma.The project required a very iterative process, so we required more than one discovery call to get started. In fact, they didn't just work with me; we also integrated our consumer marketing insights team to identify participants. We also collaborated with them to figure out how to recruit the right users based on our target customer profiles.

      Great service from start to finish. The team are very knowledgable, helpful and are negotiable on price which is great. I had an app development for just £400 for IOS devices and in my opinion it is some of the best design and features i have seen on any new app.

      CleverCrew is great to work with. I have known the company for four years now and worked together for a year and a half. My favorite is that you can tell them to fix anything, and they will. Not these closed boxes with specialities that have become common among certain developers but instead open minds and a "fix-it, and make it work" attitude.

      Mobile App Development Review from Brigitte Granger

      CleverCrew was recommended to me by a fellow entrepreneur, and I'm so glad I took their advice. Over the course of building my startup, I worked with at least 10 other developers and agencies, but none came close to the professionalism, experience, skill, and friendliness that CleverCrew brought to the table.The lead developer Tonya was outstanding. She balanced understanding our needs with offering thoughtful recommendations to improve the project. Her communication was excellent, and despite major time zone differences, she ensured we were always aligned and informed at every stage. She also demonstrated strong leadership, managing her team with precision and proactively addressing any issues or questions.We ultimately had to make the difficult decision to shut down company. However, having CleverCrew by our side during this challenging time made the process far less painful. Tonya's support and guidance throughout the closure were invaluable, ensuring everything was wrapped up professionally and efficiently.For anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and collaborative software development partner - especially a bootstrapped startup - I couldn't recommend CleverCrew more. They set the bar for what a development team should be, and I'm grateful for their role in both building and gracefully guiding me through the closure of our mobile app project. I look forward to working with them again in the future!

      Nowadays, it seems that customer service and subject-area expertise are at an all-time low, but HUBSPIRE is a wonderfully professional, knowledgeable IT company. In record time, this fantastic company built a beautiful mobile app for a preservation project in Harlem, While We Are Still Here. Our SIGNS OF THE TIMES: Harlem Markers Project is a series of 25 plaques around the neighborhood, and the app that HUBSPIRE created is easy to use and gorgeous. I would recommend the company for any IT needs you may have.

      Working with the Hubspire team has been nothing short of incredible. From day one, their professionalism, clarity, and efficiency stood out. Thomas, the owner, leads with a rare combination of deep technical knowledge and true collaborative spirit. We wanted to build out a smartphone photography service app, a new concept carving out a new market, and they embraced the challenge.They didn’t just build and develop our app (Fliiks)—we had a real partner in the process. Their workflow is smooth, their procedures top-notch, and their communication always clear. What really sets them apart is their dedication to going above and beyond. They constantly brought ideas to the table to make things more efficient and scalable.If you're looking for a team that not only executes flawlessly but also brings real value and insight to the table, Hubspire is the one. I highly recommend them for any business or tech project.

      Yes They gave me an opportunity to learn and build career in development. I learnt here and worked around 4 years. After that I got better opportunity, after serving around 4 years here and also served 1.5 months notice period as well. They didn’t allow me to join new company because 15 days left in contract. So I left the company without serving 15 days more notice period. I worked hard here, even owner knows about it. In cabin he shouted badly on me so that I made my decision to left the company. I’m changing my rating form 1 star to 5 because I found mentors and guidance in Wedig. Wedig has talented staff.Thank you Wedig.

Again i made it so hard to got select.I was expecting a call from HR but not get any call from their end then i call to HR they said you will get shortlisted and get a call from our-side soon. They after 2 more days i do a call to the team they they said the profile is on hold because of a project issue.It seems very unprofessional because if you hire someone and like their work then suddenly you hold the position.Suggestion to the hiring team : Please don't waste anybody time if you are not hiring .
