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!

Pros:

  • They worked with us as true partners, providing suggestions on improvements in the design. They were transparent about everything, and they always met their deadlines.
  • They treated this project like they were a partner, not just someone contracted to do the work.
  • The team at Mystic was very collaborative. We had many discussions and tweaked things along the way to have an excellent outcome.
  • Silence, quality and speed of response on orders

Cons:

  • Chris is amazing to work with. He was prompt in communication, transparent, and always delivered on time. It took me some time to get used to the processes, but once I worked with Chris to better understand those, everything flowed smoothly.
  • I think that my biggest struggles stemmed from my lack of a tech background and not understanding the importance of me providing better criteria and guidance.
  • Honestly, the team at Mystic has been fantastic. No cons!
  • At the media level, we find many competitors who have advanced in this field

Overall Experience: We hired Mystic Media to create a database to organize daily observations from pollution control equipment. Mystic Media was responsive to specific user needs throughout the process. As we ironed out exactly what the database needed to do, depending on the magnitude and deviation from the original scope of work, they were upfront with the cost of changes throughout the project. It has been easy to work with Mystic Media and they always explained issues at a level I was able to understand. The end result is a database with a user interface that looks good, is easy to use, and is organized efficiently. You can tell their products are developed with the needs of the end user in mind!

Overall Experience: Mystic Media is an innovative company producing beautiful technology. They were contracted on a project involving state of the art technology not readily available, where they did a superior job. Initially, we had hired 3 outside engineering resources to assist across multiple platforms, with Mystic Media being one team. As we moved through the project, it became obvious that Mystic Media was the most capable team and delivered the best results for the time and money spent. Communication can often be a barrier when working with external resources, but not with Mystic Media. They were much more responsive, engaging, and resourceful than the other teams! Soon we had Mystic Media take over the entire project which allowed us to overcome the challenges we were experiencing with the other teams. Immediately we saw leaps and bounds of improvements as they worked diligently to get the project completed. The technology worked fantastic, and Mystic continues to be very supportive any time assistance is needed. Mystic Media is very knowledgeable with cutting edge technology, software development, web development, mobile app development, etc. We will use Mystic again and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Overall Experience: We initially developed a Delivery app that would ensure customers got products faster and would allow for up-sell at the point of delivery. We birthed an innovate system with Mystic that allows for up-sell and cross-sell at the point of delivery. Any potential return is addressed immediately on the spot with the added benefit of potential increased sales. If I could put the Mystic team to work in my industry, they would take it over. Hands down, they're the most organized, intelligent, dedicated, and motivated group I've worked with.

Overall Experience: We hired Mystic for a large and complex project and are very happy with our experience. We were well out of our element with only an idea and a rough one at that. Their creative and knowledgeable team took our idea and pulled us into a process that was efficient and truly felt like a partnership. They really care and want to help us see our vision through. We are currently very close to completion and I look forward to them being a valuable part of our journey forward!

Overall Experience: We've been working with Mystic Media for more than two years. We have presented them with a wide variety of problems and tasks related to the application they developed for us. They have always found ways to solve those problems and to do what we've needed. Often, their solutions are better than our visions. Bingo players really love our application, and that has a lot to do with what Mystic Media has created.

Overall Experience: 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. Overall would recommend working with Mystic! 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! As we have done minor changes & updates since launch, they've been easy to work with on those. 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!

Overall Experience: I had created a concept for an online escape room, but I'm not really a tech guy and had no experience knowing how to turn my vision into something that people could actually play. Previous experiences with custom software dev groups hadn't been so positive, so I was a bit reluctant on how to proceed. I'm so glad I ended up going with the team at Mystic Media! They were able to take my idea and make it come alive. They've been great to work with every step of the way. Very positive experience.

Overall Experience: We are a Salt Lake City-based Instagram account that focuses on capturing the life of two German Shepherds: Oscar and Oakley. We hired Mystic Media to create a digital marketing plan to grow our social media following on Instagram, Youtube, Twitter and more. Our goal was to become an Influencer in the pet Instagram space so that we could ultimately monetize the account through sponsorships and strategic partnerships. Mystic Media successfully boosted our account significantly by employing a variety of digital, content, and social media marketing tactics. We have partnered with over 10 companies, receiving products and compensation for sponsored posts. We are one of the up-and-coming influencers in the pet Instagram space and continue to work with Mystic on an ongoing basis. We would recommend them to anyone looking to boost their social media presence!

Overall Experience: 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!

Overall Experience: This was a joint effort where we developed the hardware interface between our controller and Mystic Media developed the iOS app. Consequently there was a lot of information exchange and testing during the process. The basic user interface was completed by Mystic Media in very short order. The rest of the development was implementation of the various inputs and outputs. The interface retrieves and passes to the door controller via an RS485 communication port. The commands the app sends to the controller via the interface are in hexadecimal. I was very pleased with the speed and efficiency of the development and the "can do" attitude of Mystic media. They are very professional, respectful, and easy to work with. I would use them again.
