Top Mobile App Development Companies in Boston

We hired Dedicated Developers to help us build and design both hardware GPS sensors used in the transportation industry as well as the web application and mobile apps to monitor the sensors. The sensors connect the transportation sector to the Internet of Things (IoT). It was challenging to find developers that had the complete package of skills we needed for this project. Lots of companies had the software skills, but not very many had the hardware skills. We were thrilled when we found Dedicated Developers, because they were able to do both the hardware and software designing for us. The hardware they created are sensors used to monitor a wide variety of things for the transport industry. The sensors can monitor speed, acceleration, elevation, breakdown, GPS route coordinates, and then transmit all the data through the cellular network. Our clients can then see all the data points within the centralized application control panel to fully monitor their cargo. They did a lot of initial research and were able to suggest hardware components and sensors that would be the best configurations that would reduce the costs during mass production. They helped us figure out the best components that are reliable, durable and cost effective, so the total hard costs for each finished sensor goes down, and profits go up. They were able to bring the total cost of each unit down by 21%. They were creative while building the prototype sensors, which they were able to do quickly within a couple months. The software they created to run and monitor the sensors uses the latest cutting-edge technology, and connects our industry to the Internet of Things, which is fast, efficient, responsive and very well designed. The hardware sensors they created for us are top notch, and the monitoring software to run and monitor them has been very well received by our clients. It’s been able to make our company a cutting edge leader in our industry.

They did not help us achieve anything. They tanked performance for currently running campaigns, and any new campaigns they launched did not perform well. They were included in our RFP process because they claimed to have expertise in both B2B marketing and Healthcare Tech marketing. We quickly realized they had neither. Instead of working to optimize campaigns, they continued to increase the target cost per acquisition, causing the quality score of one long-running successful campaign to drop from 8/10 to 2/10 and increasing our CPA of $20 to over $300. They would ask us for advice on how to optimize campaigns in our weekly calls. We handed over a massive amount of reading materials. Everything they asked for - buyer personas, messaging framework, competitive intel. It seemed like they never bothered to read any of it because, after nine months of working with us, they still didn't understand our audiences or products. That was an issue that could have been solved with them just trying a little bit. What could not be solved was the fact they didn't know how to manage paid search campaigns. If you don't know anything about digital marketing, they might be able to fool you. Their team of paid search managers needs training, plain and simple. I had to spend several hours going through the work they did and making notes on how to fix the poor performance - that's what we hired them to do! Fortunately, we are experts in digital marketing, and we just needed people to execute the work, so we realized quickly that they were not helping our business and, in fact, making the situation worse. We did not stay with them for the entire year. They made us pay for one additional month when they didn't do any work and called it "offboarding." They also pad the hours and say they did a lot more than they actually did.

After reaching out to ChopDawg and some other shops, we knew Chop Dawg was the right choice for us because of their expertise, upfront pricing and timeline, and their clear communication style. We met every 2 weeks during the build via video conference as well as more frequent email communication. ChopDawg did a great job of explaining the process and informing us of complications they could see before they started developing the product. Their technical knowledge combined with a true desire to understand our product and how best to build it was a real selling point. They have been great to work with during the build process and we are happy with our product. We would highly recommend them and look forward to working with them in the future.

Very positive throughout the entire experience and I am highly satisfied with the final product. Knowledgeable team - well versed in web design best practices, UI, SEO, creative design, mobile responsive, martech integration. Organized using SaaS software to plan and track the entire project, set milestones, and deliver the entire project within the expected timeline. Respected my opinion, yet politely pushed back when they thought I was going down a path that could impact conversions. Since launch, the new website has reduced bounce rate by 40% and session duration has increased by 2x - off to a great start.

Our company, Gloworder, needed to develop a mobile application. We wanted to make sure we chose the best possible company for this endeavor. So, we did extensive research and scrutinized every option. There are hundreds of reputable companies and the costs can vary drastically. But, as we all know, you get what you pay for. And we could not be happier with our decision to hire ZCO. From day one, ZCO exceeded our expectations. They are incredibly attentive, thorough, and pro-active. In fact, at times ZCO even kept us on track when we fell behind our own schedule! We had two dedicated contacts at ZCO who were both incredibly dedicated to providing quality work and exceptional service. We were provided with detailed project outline as well as a expected timeline. Benchmarks were broken down and the costs were transparent and meticulously calculated. Designers and developers took the time to understand our goals and even provided suggestions to ensure our customers had the best possible user experience. The mobile application project was centralized on a shared database where we could monitor the development and interact with the ZCO team in real time. If we had any questions or comments, the ZCO team responded immediately. It honestly felt as though Gloworder had a dedicated, in-house development team. All-in-all, our company was incredibly impressed with ZCO and we feel confident that we hired the best possible team for the job. Thanks ZCO!

I hired Bluestone because I wanted an app for my business that my clients could download and keep on their phones and I wanted a professional-looking website. They charged me $16k to make a progressive web app that does nothing for me. I don’t use it. I get complaints because the app doesn’t download as expected. They did a truly terrible job allegedly designing a site. Their idea of design was to apparently recycle old pages they had done for other companies and spice it up by writing the page name twice using two different looking fonts. Hiring them was the most significant waste of money since starting my business. This experience does, however, provide two silver linings. First, I learned a lesson that cost me only $16k so it could have been more painful. Second, I have ten years to sue them for breach of contract so I can wait until I’m not so busy to file my complaint. They appear to know the right things to say to look good in business. Accordingly, they may post a response that amounts to “we are sorry you are disappointed. Please contact us so we can work it out.” Don’t fall for that. I have asked to speak to their lawyers as well as their business leaders with no response. I have not seen any evidence that they intend to work anything out and I get the feeling that they couldn’t care less whether I am happy with the product since I have already paid in full.

Overall experience was good. The team was exceptional. Really liked working with TB. Biggest critique was there was no sense of urgency with meeting our final deliverable date. While I totally respect quality of life, if a client is paying the high fees TB is charging, there should be an expectation that the client's deadline will met at all costs.

Working with Eri Design was an incredible experience. The team delivered beyond our expectations on the website! I would recommend them to anyone looking for web design services.

NineTwoThree is an incredibly competent and professional team. The app we built together turned out even better than I imagined. The team was easy to work with, communicated well, and went above an beyond to help me achieve my goals. What I loved most about working with them is how much input and guidance they gave not only on the UI/UX, but also to how we could better accomplish my business goals via the build. They didn't just blindly build what I asked them to build. They gave input and asked great questions along the way that helped me clarify what I was building, who I was building it for, and how to better serve our customers and capture value along the way. I ended up with a much better product with a much better product-market fit as a result.
