I would recommend Mystic Media for software development. This was my first experience in needing some customized software tools. Despite my non-tech background, they guided me through the process with clear communication and responsive support. The final product exceeded my expectations, and their ongoing maintenance ensures smooth operation. The longer I've continued to work with them, the more impressed I am with their attention to not just finish a job, but to ensure that things continue running well.

The team at Mystic Media has been excellent! From day one, they have been like a partner instead of a vendor. Their team is very professional and has worked hard to help us be successful. Our project was complicated and required software and hardware components working together. The team tackled each piece and delivered a great product of which we can be proud. We are very happy to have worked with Chris and team and we hope to have a long and fruitful relationship going forward!

We worked with Mystic Media to build an iOS and Android app for our business. We had a separate partner do the UX/UI, and Mystic was responsible for Development and launch of the app.
Their team was good to work with - the quality of development was high, we've had very low crash rates post app launch, and they built what we designed, very true to the intent of the UX. I would also callout that we had some inevitable design/functionality changes. When that happened, the Mystic team was responsive to changes and creative in helping us figure out how to solve them while being careful with our budget.
We also used Mystic to create the images & videos used in our app store listings and for paid digital/social ads for the app launch. They did well revising creative with our feedback, delivering the needed assets on time, and getting us live!
The Mystic team has also been responsive to feedback. We had some challenges with the ticket system, they've helped us resolve those pretty quickly and have been very open & responsive to that process feedback.
Would recommend!

My company used Mystic Media to develop a database to organize daily observations from pollution control equipment. Mystic Media was responsive to specific user needs throughout the project. The resulting database has a great user interface, is easy to use, and is organized efficiently. The database allows quick set-up of new users, plants, and control equipment and can easily be queried for a given timeframe. You can tell their products are developed with the needs of the end user in mind! It has been easy to work with Mystic Media and they always explained issues at a level I was able to understand. We would not hesitate to use Mystic Media in the future and, in fact, we plan to!

I had an excellent experience working closely with Christopher Silvestro and Mystic Media over the course of a year to develop the Bean There Camping App! We were happy to find a local dev agency since our app project was put on by Bean Trailer here in Salt Lake City, Utah. Starting out we had the UI and other plans cooked up and handed the backend project off to Mystic to get us into the Apple and Google Play Store. Mystic Media hit all of our deadlines, had great communication, and overall was a great partner to execute the job with. Overall, Chris's forward thinking approach and professionalism made our experience working together a breeze. Thank you to Chris and the Mystic Media team, we appreciate you!

They are very knowledgeable in their craft. They give prompt and frequent progress/timeline updates during projects to avoid any surprises. We appreciate the clear communication! Chris promptly calls whenever an issue arises. Instead of acting as a traditional “vendor”, they are a true partner to our business and an invaluable asset. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone
