The developers at Appsums did 8 apps for our company so far all published by GooglePlay and the App Store. They are committed, diligent, cost-effective and deliver results quickly. They fix bugs with relentless efficiency and I would highly recommend them if you need an app or website to be custom built.
Dr Richard McMahonCEO / Founder, SwiftDoc Pty Ltd

Azad & his co-worker, I found them most technical and prompt in giving solutions to my requirements. They have all guts to go beyond what you think and bring to them. I would definitely recommend this team to go with it.
Ryan KuriakoseCEO / Founder, Orphidia

The team delivered beyond my expectation as in the early stages I was little hesitant in choosing this small team for Video Streaming project, but team at appsums proved me wrong by all means. I would simply recommend Appsums to any.
Zaid SameerCEO / Founder, Zee Media

We required a complex set of apps to be published in the App Store and Google PlayStore for clients to use worldwide. The apps must talk to a central database and rely on numerous APIs and custom coding which all works seamlessly. The team are very experienced with years of post Graduate experience in computer science and programming. The simple fact is that they deliver and we would not hesitate to use them again for any app coding, web design, SEO, API development, app publishing, debugging, website design and cloud computing, cloud servers, SSL functions, database management and on-going IT support. It is a rare thing indeed to find a company that is as dedicated to your success as the team at Appsums.

My experience with AppSums has been from the beginning extremely trustful and transparent, which I think is the key factor when you are outsourcing the development of a product overseas.

We’ve been working with them for over 2 years now and we couldn’t be happier with the extreme value they’ve brought to us. Azad and Hashim were by our side throughout all the steps of our Patients Education Mobile App development from beginning discovery phase to screens designs to implementing processes and features, making sure everything was how we intended it every step of the way. They are true Business PARTNERS.

I have been connected with the team for a few years and my experience has been really good. I have worked on several projects with the team and every time Azad and his team exceed my expectations. They work great because they share everything transparently and there are never any surprises for me. I continue to work with them on several other projects.
