    Abhit utilized Sidebench's consulting services for a healthcare application, valuing its unique service offerings and understanding of an agile environment. While the app successfully launched on the Apple Store, notably achieving approval upon its first submission thanks to Sidebench’s expertise, Abhit observed that there's room for the agency to enhance aspects related to the quality and cost-effectiveness of its solutions.

    Sidebench has great attention to detail. Young people who have used the app so far have been impressed by it. Sidebench has been great in ensuring updates to the app are pushed out in a timely manner so users have the best experience possible. Sidebench worked closely with PHE to mitigate delay as much as possible. Once development was impacted by COVID, Sidebench took on the additional cost to ensure the delay would be minimal.

    Sidebench is absolutely fantastic to work and collaborate with. Their team has taken the time to understand our business in-depth and our development constraints. Sidebench has provided us with excellent feedback on what directions to take the project, the app structure, and how to increase engagement. Sidebench hits all of our deadlines — we’re actually ahead of schedule right now. The way Sidebench collaborates is amazing, and so is how they can translate project concepts into reality.

    Sidebench’s biggest strength is that they research thoroughly before working on a project. They work their best to give the client an accurate estimate of the project’s time and budget. Sidebench met deadlines and stayed on budget. They were great communicators. We had weekly Zoom meetings and communicated through emails and text messages.

    Their communication and project management style in our project was one of the main reasons why we chose Sidebench. Very timely responses and even displayed some over communication skills that made the engagement very easy to maintain. The way that Sidebench was able to manage communication and solve the problems that we hired them for with such a lean and scrappy team was the impressive and unique trait.

    Sidebench is great because they’re aggressive about tracking down bugs and fixing problems. It’s a real partnership, and they don’t nickel and dime me for ongoing issues. They deeply want to understand our business. They’re right there with us, trying to figure out what we need to do to make sure things are done the right way. They’ve been a fantastic partner.

    Since releasing Sidebench's app, we've seen about 90,000 installs and close to two million transactions per year. It's received an average user rating of at least four stars in app stores. They can transform a simple idea or concept into a concrete deliverable in a short timeframe. They've made it easy to add to our roadmap as needed. Their team continues to be a great partner to work with as the platforms evolve.

    Sidebench was incredibly well prepared for the work since day one. The detailed documentation and well thought through solutions impacted the work greatly. As a result of the quality, they even found areas of security that our enterprise solution failed to disclose.

    The product that they’re in the process of creating is well beyond what we thought we were signing up for. It’s clear that they are a competent team. We trust them a lot. They’ve been very communicative since the beginning of the project. With Sidebench, it’s clear that they have both the technical skill and the ability to communicate well with others. They’re certainly the best of the 3–4 technology companies that we’ve worked with over the last few years.

    Sidebench understands our agile environment and provides services we haven’t found with other companies. Thanks to Sidebench’s input, the app launched on the Apple Store after the first submission. Their response times were quick, and they were willing to accommodate a unique working arrangement. Their project management is impressive. Without their help, we might not have met all of Apple’s requirements.
