Project Summary

AnvilEight built a complete extension of a prototype bridge/gaming app, adding bidding-related functionality along with scoring, chat and an e-learning sidekick. The vendor worked remotely with occasional in-person visits, used Agile sprints, and assigned three core resources (six people involved overall). The iOS build is reported as nearly error-free; Android stability issues were encountered but attributed to device-specific platform problems. The client praised AnvilEight’s responsiveness, documentation, and willingness to learn.

  • Required a new partner after working with two previous companies

Project Deliverables
