I am the founder and CEO of a sports app for university sports clubs. **Opportunity/Challenge**: What was your aim with AppLaunch? We aimed to launch our Minimal Viable Product (MVP). **Solution**: What was their role? AppLaunch built our app’s MVP from scratch, based on designs we provided via Figma and our specifications. They also assisted in further developing the product based on our feedback. **Team Composition**: We collaborated with Oliver (Founder), a frontend developer, a backend developer, and a web specialist, along with other team members brought in as needed. **How did you choose AppLaunch?** I found them online and thought they would be a suitable partner since they were local, allowing for in-person meetings. After speaking with Oliver, who made a strong impression, I reached out to previous clients who had positive feedback. Their smaller size at the time created a mutual opportunity for growth, resulting in a fair agreement. **Investment**: We invested approximately £25,000, VAT included. **Status of Engagement**: Our collaboration lasted from November 2020 to May 2021, and we plan to engage them again in the future. **Results & Feedback**: We successfully raised investment due in part to the app AppLaunch developed. Currently, we have three active sports club customers and 1,000 app users. **Project Management Evaluation**: They excelled in project management, offering clear instructions and honest communication. Most exchanges happened through email, though we also used Trello for a while. I would occasionally meet them in person for important discussions. The only drawback was that timelines sometimes exceeded expectations; early in the project, there were instances of delays. **Impressions of AppLaunch**: Their small company size fostered a positive relationship, enhancing communication and transparency as we got to know the team. They genuinely cared about our project and were straightforward about how they could contribute value. **Areas for Improvement**: Early on, we had issues with timelines that could have been mitigated with better communication. We also encountered some app issues that took time to resolve. Overall, however, they performed well. **Advice for Prospective Customers**: Be specific about project requirements upfront. The more thorough you are early on, the smoother the process. Familiarity with basic technical concepts is beneficial, and it's helpful to converse with others who have experience in app development. Although navigating technology can be daunting, Oliver's clear communication style helps ease that process. --- **Background**: Describe your company and position.
