Empat Reviews & Testimonials

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.

It provided timely updates and communicated openly about our project's status. Solveit's proactive approach and transparency were exceptional, particularly during the staff augmentation process, where the agency efficiently matched us with qualified candidates and facilitated a smooth onboarding. We were satisfied with Solveit's high-quality work and exceptional support.

Design Services Review from Anna Harissis
They have an incredibly hardworking team at affordable pricing. SolveIt has built the app earlier than expected, and they continue to complete new tasks within the client's budget and timeline.

iPhone Review from Gabriel Sabadin
We engaged SolveIt to develop a minimum viable product (MVP) app, including a user-friendly iOS design, an artificial intelligence (AI) model, and a monetization strategy while ensuring General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance and preparing for future integrations. Despite a tight deadline, SolveIt delivered the app on time and efficiently handled beta-testing within three months, allowing us to gather feedback and launch successfully. We acquired our first 1,000 users within a month of launching the app. SolveIt's team communicated effectively, addressed issues proactively, and maintained a high level of autonomy, bringing diverse expertise that greatly benefited our project. We appreciate the agency's dedication and professionalism.

Mobile App Development Review from Lee Tupper
Vention has delivered excellent design prototypes and accurate time estimates. The app is still in beta mode, and the partnership with [...] Vention will [continue] until the release of the next version. Vention is a reliable team that offers quality service. (Verified via email)

Staff Augmentation Review from Jon Wade
Vention’s efforts allowed the successful development of the product, resulting in new customers. They provided backend developers, business analysts, UI designers, and QA testers to develop our solution. Vention cultivated a seamless partnership through constant updates and a collaborative approach. Overall, their team’s well-rounded expertise was impressive.

Web Development Review from AJ Canty
We’ve been working with Vention for quite some time and consider them an extension of our team, rather than an offshore vendor. We needed solid mobile developers to work with our in-house engineers to build our Primer SDKs on both mobile platforms. This was not a trivial thing as it required a lot of cross-functional communication, but the Vention team was up to the challenge. They quickly adopted the best practices we follow at Primer and proved to be effective and proactive.

Squareboat Reviews & Testimonials
Aman Setia's Review Sourced from Google
The worst experience with the company. First they will call you and will ask you to go for 2 hours exam just like a half yearly or annual exam conducted during school time. After that they will ask you to wait for long. The interviewer will come and will ask only about your past company to attain it's strategies to move ahead and then they will ask you to go as we have a negative results regarding you. They will make you feel comfortable as if you will be selected and then the interviewer himself will be unsecured after seeing your profile, aa you are going to be a threat to them. As of now, they are not having any urgent requirements but calling you to waste your precious time only. Prefer not to go for an interview over here.
Abhishek Bhatia's Review Sourced from Google
Squareboat has been a special part of my journey as a Mobile Engineer for the past 2 years (and counting). What truly makes it a great place to work is the people. You’re surrounded by incredibly smart driven individuals. That’s what makes showing up to work every day genuinely enjoyable.From collaborating on diverse, challenging projects to learning from peers across different teams, the experience has been both rewarding and memorable. The culture is relaxed yet focused, and there’s always room to grow, explore, and contribute meaningfully. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to join a solid tech team!
Tushar's Review Sourced from Google
Experience at Square Boat has been awesome! I've felt super welcome from day one. Even though I'm just an intern, I feel like my input matters and I've had chances to develop skills I didn't anticipate.I'm early in my professional journey, but working at Square Boat has given me a real glimpse of what quality service actually looks like. The dedication to clients is genuinely inspiring.
