What Clients Say

Reece Samani

CEO, Founder at The Locum App

They were really on top of everything and pushed everything together done really good. They know how important my timelines were and they made sure that they're dead to them and got everything done really quickly. They are making sure that all is set up smoothly.

Duncan Mitchell

Managing Director, Co-Founder at TempTribe, London

The team is very dynamic and is really flexible with picking up urgent bugs. I found that is a really good working relationship in that sense that the prices are very reasonable and they are accessible even over the weekend. So we didn't get that kind of service before.

Mikael Laustsen

Founder

In total, we have about 5–6 people working on the project, including dedicated iOS and Android developers, backend developers, and a project manager. Besides that, they have some quality assurance specialists and a designer. They have been rather professional in their communication and in their project management. They've really tried to go the extra mile to handle the project in the best way possible.

Ashley Lewis

VP of Product at Dollar Shave Club, Los-Angeles

I would highly recommend Softermii for any computer programming needs your company may have. I have worked with them for well over a year, and are consistently impressed by the quality of the work and team effort brought forth by everyone that we've worked with.I hope to have the opportunity to work with them on future projects!

Bill Mirabito

Founder&CEO

I’ve had such a pleasant experience with them, and these guys are a diamond in the rough. They’re such a pleasure to work with every day, even on weekends. We’re in constant communication. I really feel like they are part of our businesses. They’re always pushing me to refine my ideas, which is refreshing. They’re always thinking ahead about how we can make the product better. I feel very much like they’re an extension of the team.

Yonk Shi

Founder at Polyfish, Los-Angeles

Softermii has a solid team of developers. They had done an amazing job implementing the iOS UI from our Sketch design. They used their good sense of judgment helped us enhance our UI design on the fly, adhere to the original schedule (despite unforeseeable changes on our side) and great communication. I would highly recommend anyone who considers realizing his idea to talk Softermii. I will, without a doubt, be working again with them in the future

Folabi Ogunkoya

Founder of Cococure

Excellent programming skills and timely delivery. They were able to take our poorly documented description and deliver a world-class app.

Shervin Delband

Director of US Operations at ITRex Group

I originally reached out to Softermii when I needed to hit a tight deadline around the New Year. They delivered amazing results and worked through the whole holiday to make sure I could deliver on the project deadline. We later hired them for several high profile contracts. The results were consistently top quality and the devs are friendly and responsive. I worked with them both remotely and in-person over two years and I can say they are some of the best I have ever worked with!

Viktoria Dashutina

CEO Barma Ukrainian Clothes

Working on our project, employees of Softermii have shown great professionalism, result-driven attitude, involvement into what they do, proposed numerous ideas. They have not simply designed the website, but also guided us through all the details, possibilities of using it. All the deadlines were met exactly as it was estimated and planned to. This cooperation brought us only positive emotions!
