Monica's Review Sourced from Google
Amazing and talented people. I’ve worked for both client and agency side and can can say their partnership is amazing. They truly care about ongoing operations and not just ending it at a project level. Highly recommend! Message me if you want specifics.
John Andesilich's Review Sourced from Google
I own a marketing firm in Troy MO and I recently met with Calvin at Sketch Development Services to discuss a software development project I have been thinking about pursuing. He was very nice, easy to speak to and even though his field is a bit out of my knowledge base, he was able to explain things in a way that made perfect sense. I look forward to working with him and his team in the future and recommend anyone looking for a software or app development company to give them a try.

Software Development Review from Alex Koifman
I've used Kanda's services for years. They're reliable and their work is of high quality. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a partner in software engineering initiatives.

Kanda proved to be an exceptional choice for our development needs. They were much more [of] a partner to our startup than a vendor. The entire team treated our project like it was their own company, and the results showed that. Our customers were extremely please[d] with the desktop and mobile applications. I would definitely recommend hiring Kanda for any and all of your development needs. (Verified via email)

Software Development Review from Lori Feld Oakley
Our Services organization is scaling quickly and we urgently needed a custom software application to automate our workflows, without breaking our annual budget. CodeStringers was the perfect fit, supporting us from ideation through go-live and everything in between. They innovated, hit their deadlines and released an amazingly high quality application that decreases our internal costs and improves our reputation with our customers. It would not have happened without CodeStringers.

Enterprise Review from Christian Schraga
CodeStringers is the perfect outsourcer to call If you have a solid software business idea but don’t know exactly how to bring it to life. They have both a top-notch development team as well as an executive staff with expertise in marketing, finance, and general business acumen. So they can not only build a product for you but they can make sure that the product you want to build is likely to succeed in the marketplace.

Distillery Reviews & Testimonials
denny stearns's Review Sourced from Google
I bought the Carmela the other day. It is smoky, with burnt Carmel, marshmallow taste and smell. This is not my type of whiskey. I like smoke but there was something that disagreed with me. So this line is not my cup of... whiskey. Looking forward to trying their Bourbon and will update my tasting experience. The R6 distillery reached out to me which shows they care about their product. That goes far with me.Update... I have now tasted the R6 Distillery Bourbon Whiskey. Very pleasant to the nose with light vanilla. Taste is smooth and not sharp. The taste is in my wheelhouse of Bourbons. Sweet, smooth vanilla, light Carmel. I hear you can get a bottle at COSTCO and i saw one on the shelf at the local convenience store in Gundo. I would recommend it.
Inna Worrall's Review Sourced from Google
Great quality!We received selection of bourbons as a splendid gift from our friend. That was a first time we tried this product. We tested and tested different ones and enjoyed it so much, but did not have even a hint of a headache next morning! Amazing!
Victor Alpha's Review Sourced from Google
Great speakeasy, fine spirits, nice atmosphere. Drawback is licensing restrictions - only one cocktail or 1.5 oz total in spirits. Beers are unlimited. Another flaw is when a private event is scheduled, no notice is posted on the website, meaning if you’re traveling here from afar, you will have to travel right back spiritless and hopless.Edit: When I checked the website I did not see the notice about the private event. If you say it was posted, then it was my fault for not being thorough. Also, the state did not want your missing stars and I have too many myself. They are all yours. And the gin was delicious. Cheers!
