money money money No talent no talent no talent Can't even figure out how to use chat websites but still charges client for downtime. Ego-driven, emotional and an absolute waste of money. Far better talent elsewhere. Over-priced clip art! More professional caring companies elsewhere. read more

We spent over 90k with this company and have been nickeled and dime for 3k. severe tardiness of delivery on a fully spec'd project until the product was released as functional app into both mobile stores in June 2014. I am the one who endured and paid for the training of 3 different Rocksauce PM's. I stuck with your team even when I personally disputed being charged two and then three times for re-educating your team because PM's and your team's lacked the requisite skills to detail what you customer was expecting for delivery. Through out the process of development, Rocksauce PM's were disorganized, not technically capable, lacking in thorough and detailed communication, not to mention that they were often haughty and disrespectful to a paying customer. Additionally, I stuck by Rocksauce when I had to add our own technical PM nearly full-time to oversee Rocksauce's developers. It should speak volumes to you and your team that We endured all of your internal shortcomings and inefficiencies to partner together for what eventually became an moderately successful launch. This final dispute is even more audacious and short-sighted on Peter's and your parts; while you are taking your energies to nickel and dime Us on an invoice that is roughly 3% of the total your company has billed us in a 9 month period, you have done two things: 1. You have completely destroyed and severed Rocksauce's opportunity to generate $50-100K a year (year over year) with a software company that needs an app development partner. 2. You have sunken to the worst possible petty business interactions, demonstrating poor leadership and short vision by forgetting the age old axiom, "The (good paying) customer is always right". We will no longer partner with Rocksauce nor will we recommend your company to any other potential clients in our circles. read more

I really appreciated meeting with the team at Rocksauce. They were patient in answers my questions and spent time walking me through the project. I walked away with an understanding of the process, clear expectations, and knowledge of how they approach building apps. I would highly recommend them! read more

CEO has yet to contact me concerning a significant complaint I have concerning this recent STARTUP of his. I had a business relationship with him, long ago, when he was at another company he headed (it failed). The details will not be discussed at this time, giving him (Rocksauce Studios) time to contact me and work things out. Until then, my advice is to "proceed with caution"! I have reached out to them with my contact information. read more

I am a disabled veteran that transitioned out of the army several years ago to start a tech business here in Austin which is solving a large problem in the travel industry. My initial target audience is my fellow brothers in arms and to be more specific, my platform will help other servicemen/veterans combat the suicide epidemic, which kills 20-22 servicemen a day, but I will be tackling this well known problem through travel, my platform. Last year I sold 3 of my rental homes to self fund my startup venture and self invested $500,000. I used a local web development company which I paid more than $300,000 to complete my website with an estimate release date of Q1 2017. We are now in Q4 2017 and the site is still incomplete, they have doubled the original timeline, asking for $50,000 more and they took off 20% of the original functionality. Long story short, I hired an attorney to create a Demand Letter (intent to sue) and during that time I found 2 other startup entrepreneurs that had the exact same experience, 1 of them was in the process to sue that same company! In the end, we are 3 separate individuals which never knew each other until recently but now we are here to tell our story on fraudulent companies that take advantage of startup people in this booming startup community in Austin just like Rocksauce Studios has done to all 3 of us. Rocksauce has mentioned on many replies to the honest reviews of their company, that CooMo Travel changed the scope of work on "numerous" occasions, which is complete lie. The UX/UI tap through, which was created by Rocksauce, was completed prior to development. That tap through, also considered the blue prints to the site to be created by Rocksauce, was complete prior to development. Rocksauce took it upon themselves to exclude roughly 20% of the functionality shown in the tap through (which they created to be developed) and had the audacity to act dumbfounded when I clearly had to point out the functions that were excluded, on many many many occasions, were clearly in the original tap through. I have email traffic and the dates of each milestone which will quickly and easily show that the scope of work was never changed. Dates and evidence does not lie. I will be happy to show anyone this proof since it is clearly in black and white. I am open to speaking to anyone about my experience. Email me at tyler@CooMoTravel.com read more

As the VP of Veteran Relations for CooMo Travel and as Army veteran myself, I have been deeply involved with the veteran community and benefits this platform will have on all travelers but most importantly to me, the veteran community. I have been deeply involved in the business aspects and have seen how Rocksauce Studios has taken advantage of the trust that CooMo had entrusted by going over budget, over time and still under delivered which resulted in a non functioning product 6 months late. After CooMo made good by paying the original quote, which was over $300,000, we were left with the Founders of Rocksauce offering a disrespectful offer to discount the hourly rate, roughly 8% discount per hour, still requiring CooMo to pay additional funds with zero to show for after paying more than a quarter of a million. After the disrespectful discount offer, the code was sent to 3 separate companies to evaluate the percentage of completion and it was evaluated to be roughly 50% complete to the original scope of work. I have served our great country overseas in Afghanistan and I can honestly say that this is one of the most disgusting types of business practices I have witnessed and it was by the founders of Rocksauce Studios and the company. Honest people do not conduct business this dishonorably and what makes this situation even worse is that we are not alone in our experience. There has been more than 2 other startup companies that have experienced the same. Please reach out to me if you want to hear my non sugar coated views of this despicable company. read more

We partnered with Rocksauce to design multiple web and mobile experiences over the years. Our experience has been very positive such that we have recommended Rocksauce to others as well as have chosen Rocksauce to help with our own customer journey experience and design. They have a great team of talent that really respects each other and works well together. This positive energy becomes visible in their work of designing happiness. Although every project has different needs, their repeatable process and framework to UX, UI, and content design that they have refined over the years is evident in their successes and approach to new engagements. Many of their leadership has a background in film and thus their ability to not just design but story tell the brand and application experience makes their deliverables flow in unique and innovative ways. read more

Rocksauce Studios has been doing an excellent job developing the Patriot Lens app to be finished and released soon. They have stayed on budget and customized parts of it the way I preferred. -R read more
