They helped us completely reimagine our app, which is used by over 350,000 people each month. **What do you like best about Savvy Apps?** Organized, attentive, and caring. Savvy does a great job treating your product like they would their own. **What do you dislike about Savvy Apps?** While they are available for long-term support and maintenance, it's not how to best apply their services. **Recommendations to others considering Savvy Apps:** Let them guide you through the process. They are quite capable and have a proven track record of success. They'll walk you through, step by step, to make sure what they're building meets your needs. **What problems is Savvy Apps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Pocket Prep has been helping students achieve their educational goals since 2012. Savvy helped us reimagine what affordable digital test preparation looks like, and it was incredibly well-received by our customers. With an improved interface, more accessibility thanks to our web-based study portal, and a cloud that ties everything together, we're making it so that anyone can achieve their dreams. ### 2. Forward thinking, full service, great communicators **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Scott B. | COO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2020 **Describe the project or task Savvy Apps helped with:** The team at Savvy Apps took my idea for an iPad app and worked directly with me to launch a solid, well designed and implemented tool to help students and business professionals. Ken, Richard and the entire team took the time to understand what my key points of value in the application, did their best to limit scope creep and regularly hit timeline goals. They took additional time to help me understand marketing requirements, assist me with press releases and used their network to get the app reviewed by tech writers and bloggers. I honestly can't imagine Ken being able to do anything else to help my app and platform become successful. **What do you like best about Savvy Apps?** Great communicators, stay on task, took responsibility and provided solid guidance. **What do you dislike about Savvy Apps?** The only downside was that I was not able to sell enough copies of my application to continue development and growth of the app... certainly not a downside to working with Savvy. **Recommendations to others considering Savvy Apps:** Ken is a top notch individual as well as a strong team and business leader. I can't say enough about my experiences with the team, always fantastic to work with. **What problems is Savvy Apps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ken clearly understood what I was trying to achieve with CaptureNotes and he embraced my vision. He was always open and honest, even if it was a contradicting view point. ### 3. True experts who feel like part of your team **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Music | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2020 **Describe the project or task Savvy Apps helped with:** We hired Savvy Apps to build v1 of the musx mobile app on iOS, and we ended up featured as a "Best New App" in the App Store. **What do you like best about Savvy Apps?** Savvy Apps' team is absolutely stellar from top to bottom, and they care about your company as if it is their own. I was blown away by their consistently accurate scopes of work for our projects, and they always delivered on-time without surprises or excuses. They will help you develop your platform in the right way -- from backend architecture to UX -- and set you up for long-term success versus many agencies that treat customers as short-term deliverables. All of this is only possible because of their singular wealth of knowledge gained from their extensive experience. **What do you dislike about Savvy Apps?** Nothing comes to mind. We had a wonderful experience working with Savvy. **What problems is Savvy Apps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Savvy Apps not only delivered a fantastic product, but also taught us how to work and manage effectively and efficiently once we expanded and brought in our own team. ### 4. Expert help in many capacities **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2020 **Describe the project or task Savvy Apps helped with:** Helped us launch a brand new version of our mobile app. Provided both technical and design expertise. Even coached our new mobile developers as needed. Assisted with marketing and user growth as well. **What do you like best about Savvy Apps?** The thoughtfulness they put into each task, particularly around design and UX. **What do you dislike about Savvy Apps?** It's hard for me to point to issues we've had with Savvy that don't stem from problems that really start on our end. Our senior leadership is always concerned about the cost of using a highly-qualified outside organization, but you get what you pay for and we could have received more value from our investment had we stuck to our timetables for delivery from our internal resources. **What problems is Savvy Apps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Savvy, in building our mobile app, extended our self-service offerings greatly, and provided us with a new customer acquisition channel as well, helping to offset development costs. We filled a hole in our customer service offerings, and have been able to launch new, industry-leading features since. Both new features will provide significant cost-savings, and one of them has created a unique competitive advantage. ### 5. It starts with the people, and they have excellent people. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gustavo T. | SME / Salesforce CTA, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2019 **Describe the project or task Savvy Apps helped with:** While I was Assistant Director at the NFL PLAYERS ASSOCIATION, we were tasked designing from scratch a mobile “communication app.” It needed to fit their lifestyles (mobile, always accessible) and provide them the direct line for information they need. **What do you like best about Savvy Apps?** The way the Savvy team handled UCD and applied it to the App UX, was phenomenal. They were the only bidder that came in and started asking about hand and finger sizes. As flattered as I was, turns out they were asking about the players, because it directly affected button placement, size and space around buttons. It’s one thing to get the color palette right. It’s a whole other ball of wax to get the finger measurements and preferred devices for 1700 football players. **What do you dislike about Savvy Apps?** The patching and update utilities were not great. The half-baked web interface for managing users and app data worked but could have been more polished. Of course, this was on our internal dev team to execute, not Savvy. **Recommendations to others considering Savvy Apps:** Time is money, don’t waste it looking around for other vendors. **What problems is Savvy Apps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Players are more comfortable using the app. It’s easy and fast to navigate, syncs with your calendar, and provides direct access to NFL resources, all while running natively on your device. ### 6. Non-Technical Founder - Savvy Apps turned my idea into a business **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ben L. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 17, 2019 **Describe the project or task Savvy Apps helped with:** Design, Product, Development and everything else involved with building an App. **What do you like best about Savvy Apps?** Savvy Apps is a a true partner. They really are invested in the product and are very hands on from Day 1. As a first time non-technical founder, I can say with 100% confidence, I would not have been able to build my business with internal employees. Savvy runs a well oiled machine and provided an institutional infrastructure that enabled me to punch above my weight from the get go. Savvy is very quick to fix bugs and actually thinks about the product (and often pushes back on ideas) and is not a basic execution shop. I enjoy my monthly touch point with Executive Management to discuss bigger picture ideas / issues and the team is always available in emergency situations (even working weekends if needed). **What do you dislike about Savvy Apps?** No BS - I really don't have anything negative to say. I would say if you are not looking for a collaborative process, than Savvy may not be the right firm as you will not be taking full advantage of their experience, insights and care for your product. **Recommendations to others considering Savvy Apps:** If you are serious about building an App based business, Savvy Apps should be at the top of your list. **What problems is Savvy Apps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Savvy Apps gives me confidence that my vision will be built to its full potential. With Savvy's help, I am constantly honing in on my vision and building new features towards a better product. ### 7. Savvy was absolutely amazing and thorough throughout the entire experience. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2020 **Describe the project or task Savvy Apps helped with:** Savvy was tasked with creating an app that allowed avid sneaker collectors a quick and easy method t track their collections right at their fingertips. **What do you like best about Savvy Apps?** I liked how organized and dedicated they were to the effort. They thought outside the box when it came to providing recommendations. **What do you dislike about Savvy Apps?** There was nothing I disliked about Savvy as a team or comany. **Recommendations to others considering Savvy Apps:** I would highly recommend if anyone is looking to have a mobile application built to definitely have a conversation with Savvy. **What problems is Savvy Apps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Savvy has created an app that sneakerheads love. The tool they designed makes it easier to be more organized with your shoes. ### 8. A wonderful experience developing a super cool app **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Political Organization | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2019 **Describe the project or task Savvy Apps helped with:** We engaged Savvy Apps to build a mobile app for showcasing our podcasts before podcasting was as mainstream as it is now. We hoped to reach a broader audience by creating a user-friendly app that made it easy to follow and listen to our episodes. **What do you like best about Savvy Apps?** Savvy Apps developed a reliable app that significantly helped attract more listeners to our podcast and made it easy for them navigate. We even got a lot of positive feedback from older, less technically savvy users. Savvy Apps has also been very quick to fix any bugs and maintain the app as needed over the years. They were great to work with overall and never missed a deadline. The whole process was relatively seamless and they stayed in constant communication with us from start to finish, providing mockups and wireframes through each step and collaborating closely with our team. We mostly tracked the project in Basecamp and stayed in touch through Google Hangouts or Skype. Savvy Apps were a pleasure to work with, took ownership in their work, and were very proactive in their approach. They delivered a high-quality product that even exceeded some of our expectations. **What do you dislike about Savvy Apps?** I can't think of any issues we ran into throughout the engagement. **Recommendations to others considering Savvy Apps:** Trust in their process. They know what they're doing, and they do it well based on the specs you give them. **What problems is Savvy Apps solving and how is that benefiting you?** The app was successful in addressing the needs we originally commisioned it for. Users found it helpful and an easy way to consume our podcasts without having to understand how to use and subscribe with a traditional podcasting app. ## Savvy Apps Discussions - [What is Savvy Apps used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-savvy-apps-used-for) - [The best](https://www.g2.com/discussions/36646-the-best) - 1 upvote - [View Savvy Apps pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/savvy-apps/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-14+15%3A02%3A20+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=0402c7cb-23ad-4a72-8033-92f036935610&secure%5Btoken%5D=54cdcd40dbfede6e5583f6090a463bd79439db7424664c4c6c3c7ba1003c6d00&format=llm_user) ## Savvy Apps Features **Planning** - Needs Assessment - Resource Allocation - Stayed within Budget - Statement of Work - Best Practices **Delivery** - Technical Expertise - Met Deadlines - Meeting Management - Project Updates - Scope Management - Roll-out **Support** - Go Live Support - Documentation - Training - Metrics - Admin Services **Team Quality** - Change Management Skills - Executive Presence - Vertical Expertise - Technology Partnerships ## Top Savvy Apps Alternatives - [The Free Website Guys](https://www.g2.com/products/the-free-website-guys/reviews) - 4.9/5.0 (1,343 reviews) - [SmartSites](https://www.g2.com/products/smartsites/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (252 reviews) - [webdew](https://www.g2.com/products/webdew/reviews) - 4.9/5.0 (223 reviews)
