Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

I reached dout to Apptunix to develop a mobile application for iOS and Android. They were supposed to design, build, and help launch the app. Some keep deliverables were

• Wireframe/ flow
• design/ prototype 
• development 
• admin panel 
• 3rd party integration into payment and other platforms
• post-launch support
• 3-5 months project plan

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

This was the worst experience possible. For starters they did not follow the promised project plan. I never received wireframes in the beginning of the project and they kept pressuring me to move on to the next milestone when things were not finished for the current one and said it was cruicial in order to meet our timeline goal and keep the project moving. One of the reasons I chose them was for their expertise in building a mobile app but it turned out they didn't have much. 
I had to draw sketches of a lot of the designs and explain some technical flow things to them as well. When I pushed back and ask for them to finished a milestone before moving on to the next they refused and ended the project until I paid more. I had to get my legal team involved and ultimately ended up cutting my losses, walking away with no design, no app, and huge loss in funds. 
I would not recommend this company to anyone, I had a bad feeling from day one with how they were rushing me to sign the contract and even gave me a discount to do so. The only work they did was on figma, and so basic codes with poor design integrations. Huge loss and mistake on my part. I hope this review helps save someone time and money. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

No they didn't deliver items on time or respond to my needs. 

What was your primary form of communication with Apptunix?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Nothing. At first I thought the price but I quickly learned that was a mistake. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Apptunix could have done differently?

Yes, work from a wireframe and try to truly understand the project instead of assuming things.

App requirements: 1) Monthly, weekly or daily, at either a random time or at a time of the user’s choosing, the user will receive a randomly chosen message on the app and optionally by email. • The list of messages from which the app will draw has to be manageable by an admin. 

• The app will need to keep track of which messages and on which day the user received them A major function of the app will be the ability of the user to see and search for past messages 
• A user of the app should never get a message a second time unless they have already received every available message. 

1. Make the display customizable by allowing the user to choose from a wide variety of colors and fonts.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The app, Daily Lightamins, has been available in the Google Play Store since January. It has a well-designed app icon that stands out on one's phone. The app is easy to use, looks great and meets the original requirements. I receive app messages daily as well as warnings when my subscription is about to expire. With one tap I can bring up a screen that allows me to easily share a message I received with others. The admin section is easy to use and was an expected surprise to the work they were doing.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

There were delays although some of them may have been caused by me having to acquire the wide variety of items necessary for the app. When it came to requirements changes and bug fixes, Apptunix was easy to work with and usually responded in a very timely manner. We communicated mostly through Slack and Google Meet.

What was your primary form of communication with Apptunix?

Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The friendliness of the management. My manager has been easy to work with, patient and responsive.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Apptunix could have done differently?

Yes, I wish we had communicated more frequently using Google Meet as opposed to Slack because then you can have genuine discussions instead of messaging sentences back and forth. I would have liked to meet weekly with the team to facilitate better communication as I feel like it would have helped to minimize design and bug issues.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the general manager of a beauty services startup.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Apptunix?

We needed someone to help us develop a mobile app that we can launch in the marketplace.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Apptunix is helping us design and develop an Android and iOS app that our customers can use to peruse our services and manage their appointments. They also integrated an admin panel for back-office management.

At the beginning of the project, they provided a prototype that represents the journey of the app. We then reviewed their prototype to ensure that they implemented our requirements and after giving them our feedback and final approval, they proceeded to the development of the app.

The main tools they utilized are Native and AngularJS, but we’re looking to increase the scope of features once the business is operational. We’re currently beta testing the app as we look to launch it soon.

What is the team composition?

We mostly interact with the project manager, two iOS and Android developers, and two backend developers.

How did you come to work with Apptunix?

We came across Apptunix while researching online.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent around $40,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing partnership started in November 2021. We have a six-month maintenance contract with them which we will look to renew to an annual contract once it’s done.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We have an overall good experience working with Apptunix as they’re able to deliver all our requirements to make a successful app. The project has progressed greatly since the initial phase, and they’ve been very proactive and responsive in offering and receiving feedback.

How did Apptunix perform from a project management standpoint?

The team is highly communicative and receptive when it comes to being timely with their deliveries and resolving issues. Moreover, they’ve provided me with suggestions we can incorporate to expand the app and bring it to a broader level.

Furthermore, they’re very genuine when it comes to defining and justifying the cost of features we need to implement in the app.

We mainly interact through Skype and Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re impressed with the quality of features they’ve developed into the app. They all seem to be functioning smoothly so customers can easily navigate through the platform.

Are there any areas they could improve?

This is my first experience working with any development organization, but the work that Apptunix has done in this project has been very good and I’m very satisfied.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

As long as you have a good understanding of your needs, Apptunix will definitely deliver your requirements in no time.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder of an e-commerce startup.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Apptunix?

I hired them to build two applications for me.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Through a series of meetings over Zoom, we gave them exactly what we wanted to do. One of the applications was just a plain, Vanilla JS-based e-commerce mobile application. We just had to give them the idea of what we wanted to do and what we wanted to use it for, so they could customize it to our needs. Also, the application was built for iOS and Android.

What is the team composition?

This part was a bit challenging because of the pandemic, especially in India they were affected very badly. There was a little bit of shuffling of members, and we didn’t have one consistent team to work with. However, as soon as things went back to normal, we had one team to work with and everything went smoothly. Overall, I probably worked with up to 10 people.

How did you come to work with Apptunix?

I found them online. I currently reside in Dubai, and I wanted a company that was based in the UAE, making it easy to settle accounts and reach anyone in case we need support.

Also, Apptunix was actually one of three companies that we were considering. I was contacted by their sales representative in 2020 — he was a very nice guy and was personable and became the main reason why we went with them.

How much have you invested in them?

We’ve probably spent close to $30,000 USD.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in June 2020, and our engagement is still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The key metric would basically be the fact that our app is now available on both the Play and App Store. I had a few demos with them, which looked fantastic, but it wasn’t until I actually saw the final app that I knew that this was all worth it. I can finally tell customers that they can download our app.

How did Apptunix perform from a project management standpoint?

The latest team has been performing really well. We communicate via Slack mostly, but we also used WhatsApp. Also, they’re always available when we need them to give us support or assurance.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What distinguishes them from other providers is their hands-on approach. For instance, when their owner found out about our frustrations in communication and the pacing of some tasks, he immediately got involved and moved things along — I really appreciated that, and it has made me want to continue doing business with them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I understand that small businesses go through a lot of tough times, but they should never stop improving. In this project, they need to do a better job of making sure that the client never feels like they’re lost or left out and knows who the project manager is.

Furthermore, they should make sure that whoever they assign as the project manager is empowered to make decisions and can execute, preventing any unnecessary back and forth. 

Lastly, they need to be extremely detailed with their deliverables and have payments attached to clear and specific milestones. For some projects, we had already paid 70–80% but only got around 30% of what was expected. These little things make a huge difference because the last thing a client wants to feel is that the goal post has been moved.
