Bad Dinosaur

We were two absolute novices when it came to building an app over a year ago. We found Bad Dinosaur and instantly fell in love with the name! Once we had used their services and met the team, it was not long before we fell in love with the company too. Nothing is too much trouble. There has always been someone on hand to explain the more technical things and more importantly, they have a very design-led approach which was extremely important to us as we were designing an app that needed to be cheerful and happy as well as functional. Today we have the trundl app and we are very proud of what Bad Dinosaur as our developers have helped us achieve for our members.

Bad Dinosaurs main strengths are that they worked quickly and that there were regular meetings and solid mechanisms to keep track of progress. Their main weaknesses, on my project, were a lack of UX/UI design skills and that their use of Microsoft tech would make it hard to find developers to build on the work they did. They basic architecture of the project isnt suitable for building on anyway. So Im now starting from scratch and doing things properly. Im working with a professional UX/UI designer and what a difference! Its great to be working with someone whose commitment to users matches my own. With Bad Dinosaur, even getting sound choices of font, colour, spacing etc was an uphill struggle. I had to supply images myself (the designers images werent suitable) and, months later, I had to pay to change the design choices to ones I could live with. Bad Dinosaur are probably a good fit for a well-financed company who need a workable product quickly. But theyre not such a good fit for a startup with limited resources. They promised much more in initial conversations than they were able to deliver for the money I had to spend. And they kept trying to sell me a hosting package that was basically Azure hosting with a big markup. They werent prioritising my needs. I chose to work with Bad Dinosaur because theyd been recommended. But I now regret that choice.
