Project Summary

S-PRO developed a cross-platform mobile instant-messaging application for a startup using Cordova/PhoneGap with an HTML/CSS/JavaScript frontend and a Node.js/MongoDB backend. The initial development phase lasted 18 months and produced a functioning app with positive user reviews. S-PRO supplied design input and continues to provide minor ongoing maintenance. The client praised S-PRO's team and project management, though deadline estimates and communication could be improved.

Quality of Deliverables

“The mobile app generated positive feedback from Android and iOS customers. S-Pro impressed their client by remaining genuine, and enthusiastic throughout the project. While project deadlines could have been communicated better on both sides, the client will perform more projects with S-Pro.”
