"We worked with ObjectSol to develop out iptv app, content management admin panel and web based player. Really happy with all the products delivered. They are quick to respond to emails so any concerns or issues got looked at promptly. We had requested some custom development and that was done very well too. We would definitely seek out objectsol for our future projects."

"We worked with the ObjectSol team in the last 4 years with several projects of great importance for our company and we have always been able to trust the team for each of these. The work wasn't always easy because of the time difference or language barriers, but the developers were always willing to give more of their time to support us on projects. We very much appreciate your support."
