Digital Solutions to real world problems

We are selective about the project we work on because we know that if it's not going to solve a problem, it will ultimately fail. We love a challenge. But we like finding the right strategy, technology stack, design, MVP and roadmap to match our client's budget even more.

Technologies We Know and Love

We've learned the hard way to be selective about the technologies we will work with. We dodged the Crypto bubble but are fully committed to AI. We embrace low-code as long as we can also custom-code and our clients can own the IP (which is why we love FlutterFlow). The key is knowing the pros and cons of each approach and making an educated decision with our clients.

The Minds Behind App Developer Studio

We are a team of mostly South African designers, developers, scrum masters, testers, and managers who are passionate about what we do. Our backgrounds are diverse. But we share an approach to work based on the core principles of being design-led and detail-orientated, combining the mature disciplines around Agile project management with the latest innovations around low code and AI.

Experienced Business Leadership That Delivers

Rob Maclean (CEO) graduated with a Masters from Oxford University and spent 15 years in Financial Services before setting up ADS. We have our own portfolio of successful apps, so we understand the importance of cost management, quality and meeting deadlines to our clients. We value building long term relationships based on performance and trust.

Check
Domain Expertise Balanced with Full Stack Flexibility

Our team includes front-end and back-end developers with years of experience building high quality code from scratch.  But we also know smaller teams ship better code quicker and cheaper, so we embrace low code solutions such as FlutterFlow that allow our amazing designers to build front-end code and our developers to focus only on complex custom or backend development.
