Christine Ingram's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with the Spiral Scout team. I discovered Spiral Scout after having had negative experiences with two previous web developers. I’d worked with a designer on a Figma file and needed it to be translated to a Shopify site. From start to finish, the team demonstrated professionalism, creativity, and technical expertise.
In terms of design, I couldn't be happier with the outcome. The team remained faithful to the original files. This was especially key given that a lot of time had gone into designing the Figma files. Where it was necessary to make deviations, they made recommendations that aligned with my brand and translated it into a beautiful online presence. Towards the end of the project, a particularly challenging design issue arose that was difficult to crack. The entire team, across functions, was committed to the process and ultimately figured out how to solve the problem.
The communication throughout the entire process was also great. We had weekly meetings to review progress and troubleshoot any concerns. As someone new to web design and e-commerce, they took time to explain the process and were patient in answering my questions.
I highly recommend Spiral Scout to other companies in need of building a Shopify site.

Working with Spiral Scout was a pleasure, and I am very happy with the results. As a non-technical solo founder, I relied heavily on their experience in and best practices for translating business ideas into prototypes, and they were consistently patient, creative and attentive as they guided me through the process. The professionalism of their final deliverable speaks for itself and I look forward to working with them again soon to start building the actual product.

So far so good. I am still waiting on an issue with Apple but I am excited for what they have created for my app idea. From Roman getting me started and connected with the development team to Safwan orchestrating the software, listening and making the changes I want. It has been a positive experience. They are flexible and do things in a timely manner. Can't wait until it finally gets released.

Deekshu Gunaga's Review Sourced from Google
Very poor hiring management experience at GeekyAnts. After scheduling the interview and making candidates wait for one week, the hiring team only said the application was “on hold” and mentioned there may be an update next month. After that, there was no response or communication at all. Candidates deserve proper updates and professional handling instead of being ignored. It was worst experience

Don’t waste your time going for the interview. They’ll make you wait and then just tell you your application has been rejected without giving proper feedback Even though I have healthcare experience and cleared the relevant rounds, they still said I don’t have experience in BA. Feels like a total waste of time — waiting, interviewing, and then being rejected without proper feedbac

Web Development Review from Alicia Qin
Ashesh Shah with his company Fusion Informatics company is fraudulent, he took money, didn't keep the contract, didn't complete the project, didn't refund, he didn't feel any sorry about it but threatened me, then disappeared. It is the nightmare every client doesn't want to have, don't use them!
If there is an option to choose no star, I would choose no star!

An educational app development company builds scalable programs and platforms to facilitate virtual learning. It does this by using modern technology and tools, such as:
The educational app market has been rising for the past 10 years, with an expected annual growth rate of 10% from 2022-2027. Moreover, data shows that its market volume will reach $10 billion by 2027. The factors affecting its growth are:
Demand for STEM-based applications
Adoption of digital solutions in schools
Government regulations and initiatives
In 2022, the language learning app Duolingo was the most downloaded education application worldwide with 98 million downloads. Ranking second was the educational worldbuilding app Toca Life World with 72 million downloads.
What do educational app developers do?
Educational app developers create, modify, test, optimize, and maintain applications for online learning. Some even provide IT training and in-house support. Generally, educational app development companies offer the following services:
Custom web and app design and development
Minimum viable product (MVP) development
UI/UX design
Prototyping
Wireframing
Data architecture and analytics
User testing and quality assurance
Software maintenance and optimization
The range of services you will need depends on your project scope. For example, a brain training mobile app might only need custom app development and maintenance. Meanwhile, a learning management system will require more comprehensive services and support, as it must have different dashboards for the student, teacher, and parent. It will also need to comply with your country’s educational regulations.
Here are common types of educational apps with examples:
Learning management systems (LMS): Canvas, Edmodo, Adobe Learning Manager
Classroom apps: Class Dojo, Seesaw, Prodigy Education
Test preparation apps: SAT Flashcards, IELTS Prep App, Professional Pocket Prep
Reading and writing apps: AdaptedMind, Writing Wizard, HOMER
Language learning apps: Duolingo, Babbel, Rosetta Stone
Onboarding and Orientation apps: BambooHR, Absorb LMS, Rippling
Corporate training apps: EduBrite, Udemy, Hoopla
How long does it take to develop an educational app?
It takes at least 519 hours to develop an educational app. However, the process can take longer, depending on your product scope, features, and platform. Below is a breakdown of the developmental hours for an EdTech app per stage of the development process.

These estimates cover only one platform or operating system. A cross-device educational app will require more hours.
What is the difference between education and eLearning apps?
The difference between an education app and an eLearning app is the structure. Although some use the terms interchangeably, eLearning applications are often tied to educational institutions, making them more formal in structure and scope. On the other hand, educational applications are broader in scale, as they can encompass anything from word games to LMS.
Here is a table, showing the differences and similarities between eLearning and education apps:

Not always

Enables online learning

How much do educational app developers charge for their services?
An educational app developer charges at least $10,000 for an MVP. Meanwhile, the top 50 educational app developers on DesignRush charge an average of $54/hour. 6.3% of education app developers on DesignRush accept projects with a minimum budget under $1,000, and 4% accept a minimum budget over $50,000.
The cost of developing an educational app varies depending on the agency’s location and level of expertise as well as the complexity of your app. Here’s how much educational app developers charge per region:
While creating an educational app can be costly, it can also be profitable. In 2022, Chegg Study earned $766 million in revenue, making it the highest-earning education app globally. Additionally, the US education app industry generated $274 million in revenue in 2022. This is expected to increase further as the market grows.
Why should you hire educational app developers?
You should hire educational app developers because they have the expertise and technology to produce high-quality apps within a reasonable timeline and budget. They also help ensure your app's long-term growth by making it scalable, improving the user experience, performing quality assurance, and implementing security measurements.
Below are the specific benefits of hiring educational app developers:
1. Specialized expertise
An educational app requires more than technical expertise, it also requires in-depth industry knowledge of the education sector. This can range from knowing the different learning levels to understanding the technological capabilities of teachers. While this may come as readily available knowledge for experienced educational app developers, general app developers may have to conduct time-consuming industry research.
Moreover, educational app developers may also hold instructional design certificates and other accreditations that allow them to tailor solutions to meet the unique requirements of educational institutions, learners, and instructors.
For example, the educational app development company Appiventiv has over six years of experience in the education industry. So, when Vodafone India Foundation partnered with the agency to build the online learning platform Gurushala, it knew that the app should not only focus on students. The app also needed to engage teachers.
That is why Appiventiv also included games and reward systems for both students and teachers when it created Gurushala. As a result, Vodafone India Foundation received $2.1 million in funds for the app and onboarded 150,000+ teachers and students onto Gurushala.
2. Compliance with the latest policies
Educational apps need extra security and accessibility measures compared to regular apps because children and people with specialized needs often use them. For example, compliance with the COPPA, ADA, and User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG) may be necessary.
Educational apps must also follow the latest teaching and developmental learning principles, like the ISTE Standards. General app developers can easily miss these compliance measures.
In contrast, educational app developers follow these guidelines and policies daily. Moreover, they often collaborate with educational institutions, industry partners, and accessibility to stay updated on the best practices. As such, you can be certain that your educational app complies with the latest educational technology policies and guidelines.
For instance, X2 Mobile is part of the European EdTech Alliance and EIT Urban Mobility. Because of this, its educational apps have the advantage of using the latest educational and accessibility guidelines and being registered in the European EdTech ecosystem.
3. Cross-platform development
Small in-house app development teams have limited skills and often specialize in one platform or operating system. On the flip side, educational app development agencies will provide you with a wide range of talents.
They’re also certified Android, iOS, and Windows developers. As such, they can ensure that your app functions on Android and iOS operating systems as well as on the desktop and website.
One such example is Techugo. With expertise in Android, iOS, and web development, the educational app developer helped Sterkla become an accessible coaching platform. It developed intuitive mobile and web app platforms so customers can easily use the app from their mobile, tablet, and desktop. As a result, Sterkla gained 30,000+ downloads.
4. Cost efficiency
Having an in-house educational app development team can be more expensive than hiring an agency. That’s because you will have to invest in employee salary and training. Additionally, you will also need to buy the necessary technology, software, credentials, and other tools to build an educational app. For example, Apple requires an annual fee of $99 - $299 to distribute an app on its store.
This can be quite expensive for an educational institution, as information technology makes up merely 4.9% of its annual spending. Plus, a community college’s IT department has less than 38 full-time staff members on average.
When you hire an educational app developer, you do not have to worry about all these expenses, as they often offer a packaged rate for all their services. Their prices might be more affordable due to their supplier discounts. Other educational app developers can even scale their teams as your demands for IT services grow.
5. Speed to market
An in-house IT team may need a longer timeline to develop your app because they have other responsibilities. This includes maintaining your enrollment and financial systems and helping students, staff, and teachers with their daily IT issues.
Meanwhile, educational app developers have streamlined the end-to-end process. They will also provide you with a dedicated team of experts. As such, you can experience faster development cycles and reduced time-to-market.
How do you choose the best educational app developers?
You can choose the best educational app developer by following the steps below:
Project scope: Identify your educational app type, target audiences and their learning levels, features, and budget.
Technology: Understand the different technologies and platforms used for learning apps and choose the ones that best suit your target audiences. For example, educational institutions often use one type of operating system for the entire school. However, if you’re targeting more general audiences, you will need a multi-platform educational application.
Educational policies: Research on educational guidelines and policies that affect your target audiences. For example, Australia has national guidelines for screen time for children under the age of 17.
Experience: Search for educational app developers with the skills, experience, and tech stack that match your project scope. Educational app developers who have worked with projects like yours can give you valuable advice on how to improve your product.
Educational app developer location: Consider the educational app developer’s location. It is important to note that while offshore agencies have more affordable rates, they might not be as familiar with the educational laws in your country as inshore agencies.
Due diligence: Verify their credibility by checking their portfolio, case studies, and client testimonials and reviews.
Verification: Set up interviews with your shortlisted educational app development companies to see if they’re compatible with your team.
Budget: Send a request for a proposal (RFP) together with your project scope and timeline to your shortlisted educational app developers.
Selection: Choose the educational app development company and establish your project management process.
