Bad Dinosaur developed the Social Connections App for a Research Fellow at Queen Margaret University. The app, originally an offline tool, was designed to gain a better understanding of community relationships. Bad Dinosaur was chosen for their above-and-beyond advice and support, where they explained different development routes and their implications. The team, which included project managers, developers, and designers, successfully translated the Social Connections methodology to the online world. The client praised Bad Dinosaur for their holistic service and prioritizing the interests of the project.

The company also developed a web-based booking system for the Centre for Educational Enhancement and Development at the University of St Andrews. The system automated the matching process between tutors' availability, topic expertise, and students, which was previously manually done by an admin. Bad Dinosaur was selected based on personal recommendation, their experience, and willingness to collaborate. The system has various features such as bulk upload of course module codes, flagging maximum appointments, and extensive reporting features. The client appreciated Bad Dinosaur's close collaboration to meet feature requests and solve bugs.

For trundl Limited, Bad Dinosaur developed a mobile app that turns everyday walks into charity donations. The app was developed in two phases; the first phase was to build a minimum viable product (MVP) to prove the concept, and the second phase was to create a B2B offering on the app and develop new features for personalizing the user experience. Bad Dinosaur was chosen for their great culture fit, good value for cost, and aligned company values. The client was satisfied with the app, which was made available in both Apple and Android versions.
