The challenge
Founder Philip Trapkin wanted to turn a lifelong idea, the therapeutic effect of sound, into a product. A previous company had left broken code, and the app had been turned down by the Apple and Google stores numerous times.

What we built
We repaired the broken code and got BlissTrax live on both stores, then rebuilt the UI and the back end for Version 2: wave-based sessions personalized to each listener's goal, with progress tracking and an admin dashboard.
The result
Every issue resolved and a Version 2 shipped with new features. We have worked with the BlissTrax team for more than two years.

BlissTrax, in the Client's Words
Press play to hear it from the founder, or read the full review.
After being turned down by the Apple and Google stores numerous times, we ran out of patience. Then we were introduced to Taimoor and his team at Niftonic. From the very first meeting, they showed talent, integrity, and passion. They repaired the broken code left by a previous company and got BlissTrax live on both stores. The flexibility and creativity they bring to the table is unmatched. I couldn't give a higher recommendation.
Philip TrapkinFounder & CEO, BlissTrax
Taimoor and his team rebuilt BlissTrax. They've redone the UI, redone the backend, and every little idea we shared, they have brought it to life. And we are not the easiest people to work with, we change things, we get ideas, and we want to see them in real time. And Taimoor's team makes it happen. I have been so pleased with their work over the past two years. I don't know what we would do without them.
