Testimonial

I would like to recommend Sirocco with great pleasure. The company created Homework Site app, an excellent solution for our digitized English learning process. I am impressed with how Sirocco skillfully combines technology with education to create an engaging and effective tool.  

One of the most important things I appreciate about Homework Site is the excellent quality of the app. I have not encountered any technical problems or bugs in a full year of using the Homework Site. The application runs smoothly and reliably, which is extremely important for students and teachers who rely on it for their education.

In addition, the cooperation with Sirocco is based on Scrum methodology, which brings many benefits. Regular meetings and sprints allow clients like me to participate in the project development process actively. My suggestions and comments were always welcomed and taken into account. I have had the opportunity to experience many times how Sirocco is open to our needs and how professionally it responds to our suggestions.  

In conclusion, I recommend Sirocco wholeheartedly. Their understanding of students' needs, excellent quality of service, and commitment to the project's development are reasons for me to be delighted with our cooperation. We are working together on a workbook application for the next part of the textbook.
