Horus Studio

Brodevo is an IT solution provider, and I'm the CTO of the company

We need an android app that hosts our own web app, in this case a mobile pont of sale of bus tickets. This Android App must access the geolocation, the integrated printer and the NFC reader, and interact with the web app.

Previously, we have worked on other projects, with some of the members of Horus, and we know very well their quality of development and commitment to the projects.

We had some meetings, in which we discussed the solution approach. Two weeks later, Horus developed and delivered an Android application with test cases to integrate and evaluate the solution. The App developed, use the SDK of the Android device to interact with their integrated devices. We validate them and continued with our own develpment, meantime Horus integrated the remainings devices.

We have interacted with a developer and a project manage

Our application was fully integrated with the Android device and enable to our customers the mobile sell of bus tickets

During the project, we use web meetings and emails to communicate

Horus complimented us with his knowledge in the development of mobile apps. He also assisted us in the design of the final solution.

No, we are satisfied with their services.

I am the director of the startup MyPass. We provide solutions for the sale of tickets and courtesy lists for different events.

The mobile application of our company was created more than 5 years ago and since then it had pending adjustments to make. This generated some difficulty in the use and user experience. For this very reason, we decided to invest in improvements to the app. We don't have in-house engineers, so we needed to outsource all of the redesign and rebuild.

My team searched online for app developers in our area and compiled a top 5 list based on the case studies on their websites. We contacted each company and narrowed it down to 2 after receiving their initial submissions. It was a tough decision, but we selected this vendor based on the quality of their final proposal, their willingness to train our team on how to interact with the app after launch, and their price, which we feel is very fair.

Once this provider was selected, I had a series of meetings to discuss adjustments and goals. In the following first weeks I received some mock-ups of the design with the requested adjustments. After approval, the changes were made and we were given the option to test the app to validate the changes generated. Once the changes have been validated, they are put into production in the store so that the app will be available for download.

Initially, we were assigned a project manager to support us and serve as the main point of contact throughout the project. I only spoke to our project manager, but learned that there were 2 frontend developers and 2 backend developers, as well as a QA resource working behind the scenes.

After generating the requested changes and putting them into production, we received great customer satisfaction regarding the modified app.

The project manager assigned to us was easy to communicate with and provided us with frequent updates. We connect by phone at least once a week and use Slack for all other communication. Overall, I was impressed with the availability and speed.

I was amazed at the knowledge this provider had about mobile app development, UX, and optimization. The team far exceeded my expectations, they are a team of professionals who are highly committed to the project and contribute substantial improvements to its development. I will definitely hire this company again for any mobile application needs we have in the future.

The work they do is exceptional, although my budget is limited, we were still looking for a way to adjust the initial quote to my budget.

My name is Marcos Urrestarazú, I´m one of the co-founders of Bar´s, which is a new mobile app that tries to be like a new social network that shows our users the bars in real time. In addition users can also receive coupons and upload stories from the bar they chose.

We decided to hire Horus to develop Bar´s from cero. We bid between 3 programming companies and we decided on Horus.

We first met with a technological incubator that suggested us 3 programming companies, to have 3 budgets and we finally chose Horus. From the first instance, they showed interest in understanding the business, achieving a good understanding of the problems to be solved in the business. We understood that in several aspects of the proposal, they managed to add value to the project and the business model from the technical solution presented.

Once we decided for Horus and with the approved budget, we began to have meetings where we set a work plan with different objectives along a timeline to be met.

Our team was made up of 3 co-founding partners that divided the tasks based on our abilities, and then we decided to add a minority partner of the atmosphere of the night who has knowledge of this sector.

During the launch stage of de app we had over 1000 downloads and more than 4 stars in both app stores (Android and ios). After the MVP we continue receiving good comments about usability, the flow and the aspect of the app from users, clients and investors. One of the best highlights we received was that the app was very intuitive.

The workflow between both teams was really excellent. We communicated by zoom and telephone daily. Punctuality of horus was really great. All development delivery deadlines were met perfectly.

What impressed us most about this company was the knowledge about app´s development, users experience and the optimization of resources. The Horus team was really very patient and attentive with us in the daily work. Our experience with this agency was really collaborative and positive. We obviously are going to continue working with them on the next stages of our app.

You can always improve but we are very satisfied with the work of Horus, their speed and quality have no complaints. We are sure that we have got a good product that at the end of the day was not so “MVP”.
