The app leverages ChatGPT technology to generate content real estate agents can use on different outputs.  **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CEO & Founder, Real Estate 3.0, LLC. - Industry: Real estate - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jun 20, 2024 **Feedback Summary**: Black Widow Tech has built an app that functions according to the client's requirements. The team handles bugs efficiently and has demonstrated impressive professionalism. Black Widow Tech meets the project's deadlines and budget, communicating via weekly Zoom meetings, email, and phone. ""Black Widow Tech is always looking out for new technologies and development challenges in the industry."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there.I'm the founder and CEO of Real Estate 3.0, LLC. We're a startup working on a mobile app for real estate agents. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Black Widow Tech?I needed support to create an AI mobile app for real estate agents. I previously had a couple of attempts to build the app from scratch working with a different company. I also attempted to buy a product abandoned by a different company and repurpose it. I tried different avenues of development over the last three years, and none of them got off the ground.  **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?Black Widow Tech started by developing a piece of the project to validate our relationship, which went well, and then proceeded to the complete development of the solution. The team has taken my requirements of creating a mobile app that enables ChatGPT to assist real estate agents in creating content on the fly. For instance, an agent trying to sell a client's house can use the app to generate content for listing descriptions, social media posts, or brochures with a few inputs. The app has eight outputs users can create leveraging ChatGPT. Black Widow Tech has completed a cross-platform app for iOS and Android and is finalizing the process of publishing it in application stores. The app has been approved and tested and meets all the standards. The team is working on some tweaks Apple has requested. What is the team composition?I interact directly with two teammates from Black Widow Tech, including Tahir (CEO). I also work with an offshore engineer with a team of developers responsible for the app's coding, testing, QA, and app store launch. How did you come to work with Black Widow Tech?I found Black Widow Tech through an online search. After the failed attempts to build the app, I did a more comprehensive search online. I came across numerous references online and identified several of their websites. I reached out to Black Widow Tech and began conversations to understand their capabilities, and then I met with Tahir in person. I liked what I saw and heard about Black Widow Tech when I met Tahir and that he was located in the Dallas area. I trusted him as an individual and checked some references. How much have you invested with them?We've spent roughly $50,000 on this project.What is the status of this engagement?We began working with Black Widow Tech in August 2023, and our engagement is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?I measure the product's success by its responsiveness and performance. I also consider the app's ability to navigate different nuances in implementing ChatGPT and align with dependent technologies. Black Widow Tech has ensured the app has a payment model and can interact with Google and Apple. The full scope of services is a key point, and the product functions properly and has a good UX. The app responds as expected, and the content works the way I want it to. Black Widow Tech handles bugs exceptionally well. There haven't been any surprises, and the team often discovers issues before me. Black Widow Tech is proactive in letting me know about issues, and almost every time, the team works on a solution before they contact me, which is very impressive and appreciated. Whenever I've discovered an issue, Black Widow Tech responds quickly and takes responsibility. The team approaches our relationship as a partnership and ensures the product works as I want it to and not necessarily as I put it on paper and give them specs for. I'm pleased with the customer experience and the product.How did Black Widow Tech perform from a project management standpoint?We measure the project's success primarily based on budget and time. Black Widow Tech is hitting the deliverables which is extremely important for me. Another important aspect is their flexibility and ability to change direction and respond to my input and direction — these are the top criteria I use to measure success in our relationship. Black Widow Tech delivers work on time and on budget and handles change responsibly and on time. We have regular weekly status meetings on Zoom and are in contact via email 2–3 times a week. The team is very accommodating to our time zone differences. We work well together and are respectful of our time zone difference. We take advantage of the time zone difference with the development team to communicate issues. I communicate with Tahir during the day, and he can forward issues to the team. I can see the results by the next morning that I can test.I also communicate with Tahir through phone calls, and he responds quickly since he's in my area. He even has answered his phone on Sundays. We don't use a project management tool; instead, we use spreadsheets and status reports to keep track of the project. Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?I have over 30 years of experience in large-scale development efforts and IT outsourcing. I've worked with offshore resources and in various dynamics and working relationships. Tahir and his lead engineer serve their roles exceptionally well. The offshore engineer is extremely professional since working with offshore resources can be challenging. He documents all work and ensures clarity and understanding between us. He offers good follow-up and is very enjoyable to work with, having a high level of confidence. On the other hand, Tahir is equally competent and started the business side of our relationship very well. He has the ability to interact and intervene whenever there are conflicts or challenges we've had to work through, either in conflicting priorities or resources. Tahir can navigate every challenge that has come up really well. What did you find most impressive about them?Black Widow Tech's professionalism and approach to the relationship stand out the most. The team has strong technical competency, and there hasn't been anything they can't do that I've thrown their way. Black Widow Tech is honest if they don't have expertise in the requirements I want to try. The team is transparent about their capabilities, and if they're gonna miss a deadline, they're proactive in telling me. Black Widow Tech has instilled a tremendous amount of trust, and I can't speak highly enough about that. I'm impressed with how Black Widow Tech is always looking out for new technologies and development challenges in the industry. Are there any areas they could improve?Black Widow Tech has performed at a high level, and if I were to take it to a higher level, it would be in their ability to pack up their services in a more sophisticated manner and put forward a more structured package capability. I'm considering my experiences with large-scale development projects. If Black Widow Tech wants to start moving into that higher level of enterprise capability, I'd say they can improve the sophistication in which they present their capabilities.Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?I recommend that potential clients be clear about what they're looking for. Early on, I discovered that Black Widow Tech was good at bringing ideas, but before that, we talked a lot about my being open to their proposals. I made it clear to the team that I was looking for a team that could look out for my best interest and not just execute what I told them. I can only ask for things I have context for, and if I have previous experiences with specific practices and ask a vendor to do it that way, that is only based on my knowledge and experience and not on the experts' experience. I leaned heavily on the team to ensure they were counseling me in a proactive and productive fashion. Black Widow Tech was comfortable working with me in any way I wanted to. I asked the team to be proactive and involved in the process, and they've raised to the occasion. My recommendation for prospects wanting to work with Black Widow Tech is to get clarity about how they want to work with the team because they can work under different approaches.  --- #### Mobile App Dev & Design for Speech & Language Therapy Co **The Project** - Services: AI Development, Mobile App Development, UX/UI Design - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Nov. 2025 - Mar. 2026 **Project Summary**: Black Widow Tech developed a mobile app for a speech and language therapy company. The team created the design and built the iOS and Android platforms to host the client's in-house activities. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, Doda Learning Ltd - Industry: Education - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Apr 8, 2026 **Feedback Summary**: Black Widow Tech successfully delivered the app and enriched the client's in-app activities.

Please include a summary of key deliverables.We initially wanted to get a barebones ios and android app put together with design work so that we could plug our inhouse buily learning/therapeutic activities into it. Our inhouse technical knowledge is on cloud infrastrucure and shader research and didn't want to deal with the mobile development. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?I mean they developed the barebones app as requested and then went WAYYY beyond the scope of work agreed and really brought it to life. We had some extremely productive sessions and the main engineer assigned to us, Fernando, went above and beyond delivering things we hadn't even considered, all our in app activities were enriched so much thanks ot his input.Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?Communication was always fine, a couple of checkpoints were probably a little (and I mean a very little) behind schedule BUT when delivered had exceeded expectations massively so it's hard to begrudge that. Nothing was late to the point of it being a problem.What was your primary form of communication with Black Widow Tech?Virtual MeetingEmail or Messaging AppWhat did you find most impressive or unique about this company?We get on well I think personally as well as professionally but the very best part for us has been Fernando the engineer. He takes all our jumbled feedback, stuff where I couldn't even tell you what I was talking about an hour after saying it, and managed to cut through the mess and delivered the vision exceptionally every time. He's a Superstar (note the captial S).Are there any areas for improvement or something Black Widow Tech could have done differently?Frankly they exceeded expectations in all areas so no. Maybe they could relocate to Dublin to better align timezones ;). --- #### Mobile App Design & Dev for Entertainment Production Co **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development, UX/UI Design - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: May 2024 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Black Widow Tech has designed and developed a mobile app for a competition entertainment production company. The app is for iOS and Android and features real-time voting and a video repository. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, CEO & Co-Owner, Felted Global - Industry: Arts, entertainment & music - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Sep 15, 2025 **Feedback Summary**: The client is 100% satisfied with Black Widow Tech. The team has delivered remarkable work and has been ahead of budget and time, showcasing transparency and malleability. They communicate via email, phone calls, and Zoom. The client praises their flexibility and collaborative approach. ""The quality of their work has been nothing short of perfection."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there.I’m the founder, CEO, and part-owner of Felted Global, a competition entertainment production company. We haven’t launched yet, but we’re in the initial phases of closing our B round. We’re seeking $15 million, which we should close by March 2026. Once we close that round, we’ll have 28 employees. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Black Widow Tech?We needed help launching our company, which included web hosting, web design, and other tasks. We also needed a mobile app. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?Black Widow Tech has been helping us with mobile app design and development. Since we've started the process of building the app, we’ve had multiple Zoom calls with Tahir. One of my employees has been working with Black Widow Tech on the app’s architectural workflow and the necessary steps to start building the app. We’ve had Friday Zoom meetings to see the different iterations of the app and how it’s moving forward. I’ve been chiming in with my two cents as we’ve developed the app’s vision.The app will be for iOS and Android. It started off as a simple product, but it has become more robust. It’s being featured in our quest for funding. We’ve gotten approval from Apple and filed all the papers with Android. The app is now parked along with our website. The company has been completely built, and the value proposition has been articulated from my side. We’re now actively seeking sponsorship dollars. Additionally, Black Widow Tech has introduced AI technology into the project. I want to be able to host 1,000 videos and have a repository where someone can type in a particular person’s name and pull up those exact videos. The app will have real-time voting capabilities and immediate acknowledgment of votes being counted. We want full transparency for our members because they get to vote on contestants for a reality show.What is the team composition?We’ve worked with a chief architect and a team of four.How did you come to work with Black Widow Tech?We have a dear friend who owns a technology company. When we discussed our needs, we told him we needed a mobile app. He highly recommended Black Widow Tech. Since this person is a lifelong friend and business acquaintance of my two partners, we didn't go outside of his recommendation. I contacted Tahir and met with him. I laid out my vision of the architectural structure from a high-level overview of my needs, and he came back with an amazing insight into what he could do for us and provided me with the scope of work we would need. I was concerned with reaching down, pulling the brakes, and considering a new direction because, when you're launching a new company with two verticals that have been done before, there's always the complexity of things evolving. In Black Widow Tech, I found that they were just as malleable as we were, as far as the creative side. How much have you invested with them?The scope of work was a little less than $90,000. As the project has evolved, the investment has grown to slightly below $220,000.What is the status of this engagement?We started working together in May 2024, and the engagement is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?I don’t have KPIs, but the quality of Black Widow Tech’s work is remarkable. Everything I’ve asked for and every part of my and my partners' vision of combining the entertainment and poker industry is there. We’re building a show that will be sold to Amazon, Netflix, or Paramount Plus. The project will have a shelf life of 8–15 years. I’m 100% satisfied with its current state.How did Black Widow Tech perform from a project management standpoint?They’ve been ahead of budget and ahead of time. Everything has been extremely transparent. I have direct access to Tahir 24/7. We also use emails, phone calls, and Zoom calls.What did you find most impressive about them?Black Widow Tech has been extremely malleable. The quality of their work has been nothing short of perfection. They’ve introduced AI into the project, which will dramatically change and enhance the app.Are there any areas they could improve?There's nothing they need to improve; they’ve delivered exactly what I’ve needed.Do you have any advice for potential customers?Meet with Tahir as quickly as possible. He was kind enough to come meet me in Austin, and he saw my vision of the company. In doing so, it completely changed the direction of the project because I got a collaborative partner. If I can figure out how to get everyone in the room on the same page about my vision, then that can grow exponentially. Tahir has brought so many things to the table that I didn't even know we were capable of. --- #### Custom Software & AI Development for Managed IT Services Co **The Project** - Services: AI Consulting, AI Development, Custom Software Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Nov. 2023 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Black Widow Tech supports a managed IT services company in the development of a custom AI product.

The team has helped us select the AI products that would help us achieve our goals and architect the product. Black Widow Tech writes the product's code, including the frontend. The product is in beta testing and should be in version one by next month. Black Widow Tech uses Whisper and several other AI products to meet our needs.Our product's purpose is the transcription and digitization of calls. Black Widow Tech has set up a feature that transcribes calls, and after the call is dictated, the recording is tied to the transcription. Users can click on a particular word to go to that point of the recording and vice versa. What is the team composition?We work with Black Widow Tech's head of development and an AI specialist. I'm unsure how many teammates work on our project besides them. How did you come to work with Black Widow Tech?We found Black Widow Tech through a third-party vendor.How much have you invested with them?We’ve spent over $75,000 so far. We plan to pay around $100,000–$150,000 when the project is completed.What is the status of this engagement?We started working with Black Widow Tech in November 2023, and the engagement is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?Black Widow Tech's work quality exceeds our minimum needs.

The team delivers work on budget and communicates via Slack through a dedicated channel we've set up. Black Widow Tech uses Lucidchart, Flow for documentation, and GitHub for code repository.Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?I want to give a shout-out to our developer, who has done a wonderful job being flexible with our new product. We've changed direction several times, and they've adapted to what we need and delivered on time.What did you find most impressive about them?Black Widow Tech has done several things we didn't think about, and we're impressed with their work.Are there any areas they could improve?I can't think of anything for the team to improve right off the top of my head.Do you have any advice for potential customers?I recommend being a good client and coming in with clear and concise requirements because it'll help the project go better. --- #### Android & iOS App Development for Real Estate Company **The Project** - Services: AI Development, Mobile App Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Aug. 2023 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Black Widow Tech has developed an iOS and Android mobile application for a real estate company.

The app responds as expected, and the content works the way I want it to. Black Widow Tech handles bugs exceptionally well. There haven't been any surprises, and the team often discovers issues before me. Black Widow Tech is proactive in letting me know about issues, and almost every time, the team works on a solution before they contact me, which is very impressive and appreciated. Whenever I've discovered an issue, Black Widow Tech responds quickly and takes responsibility. The team approaches our relationship as a partnership and ensures the product works as I want it to and not necessarily as I put it on paper and give them specs for. I'm pleased with the customer experience and the product.How did Black Widow Tech perform from a project management standpoint?We measure the project's success primarily based on budget and time. Black Widow Tech is hitting the deliverables which is extremely important for me. Another important aspect is their flexibility and ability to change direction and respond to my input and direction — these are the top criteria I use to measure success in our relationship. Black Widow Tech delivers work on time and on budget and handles change responsibly and on time. We have regular weekly status meetings on Zoom and are in contact via email 2–3 times a week. The team is very accommodating to our time zone differences. We work well together and are respectful of our time zone difference. We take advantage of the time zone difference with the development team to communicate issues. I communicate with Tahir during the day, and he can forward issues to the team. I can see the results by the next morning that I can test.I also communicate with Tahir through phone calls, and he responds quickly since he's in my area. He even has answered his phone on Sundays. We don't use a project management tool; instead, we use spreadsheets and status reports to keep track of the project. Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?I have over 30 years of experience in large-scale development efforts and IT outsourcing. I've worked with offshore resources and in various dynamics and working relationships. Tahir and his lead engineer serve their roles exceptionally well. The offshore engineer is extremely professional since working with offshore resources can be challenging. He documents all work and ensures clarity and understanding between us. He offers good follow-up and is very enjoyable to work with, having a high level of confidence. On the other hand, Tahir is equally competent and started the business side of our relationship very well. He has the ability to interact and intervene whenever there are conflicts or challenges we've had to work through, either in conflicting priorities or resources. Tahir can navigate every challenge that has come up really well. What did you find most impressive about them?Black Widow Tech's professionalism and approach to the relationship stand out the most. The team has strong technical competency, and there hasn't been anything they can't do that I've thrown their way. Black Widow Tech is honest if they don't have expertise in the requirements I want to try. The team is transparent about their capabilities, and if they're gonna miss a deadline, they're proactive in telling me. Black Widow Tech has instilled a tremendous amount of trust, and I can't speak highly enough about that. I'm impressed with how Black Widow Tech is always looking out for new technologies and development challenges in the industry. Are there any areas they could improve?Black Widow Tech has performed at a high level, and if I were to take it to a higher level, it would be in their ability to pack up their services in a more sophisticated manner and put forward a more structured package capability. I'm considering my experiences with large-scale development projects. If Black Widow Tech wants to start moving into that higher level of enterprise capability, I'd say they can improve the sophistication in which they present their capabilities.Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?I recommend that potential clients be clear about what they're looking for. Early on, I discovered that Black Widow Tech was good at bringing ideas, but before that, we talked a lot about my being open to their proposals. I made it clear to the team that I was looking for a team that could look out for my best interest and not just execute what I told them. I can only ask for things I have context for, and if I have previous experiences with specific practices and ask a vendor to do it that way, that is only based on my knowledge and experience and not on the experts' experience. I leaned heavily on the team to ensure they were counseling me in a proactive and productive fashion. Black Widow Tech was comfortable working with me in any way I wanted to. I asked the team to be proactive and involved in the process, and they've raised to the occasion. My recommendation for prospects wanting to work with Black Widow Tech is to get clarity about how they want to work with the team because they can work under different approaches.  --- #### Mobile App Design & Development for Educational Organization **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development, UX/UI Design - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: July 2023 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Black Widow Tech has developed an iOS and Android application for an educational organization.

My organization is called E nd E Group. We’re a small LLC consisting of my wife and me, and we work on technological products and services as well as provide financial consulting.  **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Black Widow Tech? We’ve hired Black Widow Tech to create a mobile app that we can publish to the app stores. Specifically, we need a devotional app. This is originally conceived for my mom, who does a lot of writing. We want to give her a platform where she can reach a large audience on top of our family and friends. Our goal is to attract many users to the app around the country and the world. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Black Widow Tech has worked on both the front- and backend of our app, which consists of a platform with a frontend that works on both iOS and Android devices. It has a custom backend system that my mom can use to upload new writings and schedule them. Using the mobile app, end users can read her devotionals per day and get push notifications about a new devotional’s arrival on a specific day.  At present, Black Widow Tech provides maintenance services for the app, assisting me in fixing bugs and issues. Apart from that, we have a bunch of projects I want to work on and release. In one of my next projects, I plan to seek their design assistance. The team is my current go-to resource for the existing and future apps I want to develop.  What is the team composition? I mainly worked with Tahir (CEO & Co-Founder), but I’ve also interacted with Ahmar (UX Designer). Our main point of contact with regard to testing, requirements, and feedback is a project manager.  How did you come to work with Black Widow Tech? I started the project by myself — I’m a software engineer by trade — and decided to develop the app. When we were trying to release it, I decided I wanted to hire a group. I started doing some online research until I ran into Clutch, which allowed me to narrow down my search focus.  I selected candidates based on my budget and the components I wanted to develop. In this case, we were looking to build a custom backend and a mobile-friendly frontend. Ultimately, I used Clutch to determine that Black Widow Tech was the right company for the project.  How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent about $13,000.  What is the status of this engagement? The partnership started in October 2022, and the initial release of the app was in December 2022. The product is already in the app stores, but we have an ongoing maintenance agreement with Black Widow Tech.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  The Black Widow Tech team is absolutely pleasant to work with; they answer questions, inquiries, and issues promptly. They suggest solutions, and they’re extremely good at that. This is the core metric that makes me want to continue working with them indefinitely into the future.  How did Black Widow Tech perform from a project management standpoint? The team is punctual, and that’s important to me. Any time I want to reach out to them and ask a question, Tahir and Ahmar are always available. We never run behind schedule. Even though we’ve had bugs throughout the project, I’ve expected issues to arise. For the most part, we use WhatsApp as our main communication tool. It works perfectly for us. Regarding project management, we’ve used Google Spreadsheets and signed the engagement using DocuSign. We’ve used various other tools, too, such as Figma for design and email for document exchanges.  What did you find most impressive about them? Black Widow Tech’s buy-in is impressive. Ever since I talked to their CEO, we’ve had great dialogues and discussions surrounding our interest in mobile apps as a business and the technology behind developing them. We immediately connect on that front, and I like their enthusiasm for mobile apps as technology and business. We’ve felt the same vibe with the other members of their team, too. Moreover, the team is highly transparent about the cost. This has helped us plan what features to release first and which ones to set aside for the next release. On top of that, since we need localization services, they’ve given us an incentive for our budget and added the language feature to the product at a later stage.  Are there any areas they could improve? No, there aren’t any. They’re a solid organization.  --- #### Mobile App Development for Fitness & Networking Company **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Feb. 2022 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Black Widow Tech provides mobile app development services for a fitness and networking company.

We work with Tahir (CEO & Product Manager), who serves as the project manager. One person helps with the design, while another person works on coding.  How did you come to work with Black Widow Tech? Our team had an extensive process of searching for a vendor because the project required a lot of trust and was expensive. Black Widow seemed legitimate, and they were close to us in terms of location — I didn’t want to pay a team that was too far away. On top of that, they’d developed and finished other apps. We interviewed them, and they came out on top — the team earned our trust.  How much have you invested with them? Overall, we’re going to pay them about $35,000 for this project.  What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve had peace of mind. Our team is still waiting on the paid version of the app to establish our full judgment of the process, but everything has been going well so far. We’ve been happy with the Black Widow team.  How did Black Widow Tech perform from a project management standpoint? We’re happy with their project management style. We communicate with them pretty much 24/7, and they get back to us immediately. Our projects — such as the app’s prototype or the app going live in the market — come out no later than two weeks.  What did you find most impressive about them? Their communication is impressive. They give me a direct line with their team, so I get instant replies. Overall, they’re professional.  Are there any areas they could improve? No, there aren’t any.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? Be precise in all the details of what you want to accomplish with Black Widow and provide them with a good blueprint.

We searched for developers in the Houston area and got a list of 40 app developers in Texas. We reached out and interviewed many of them, but we felt most comfortable with Black Widow Tech.

I hired Black Widow Tech to develop an app for me.  **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? I had a high-concept idea for a mobile application, and Black Widow Tech came in to develop it. The app's goal was to encourage an informed conversation about safe spaces.  The app facilitates collaboration between users to create safe spaces. There is a map interface that includes commercial and public spaces. When setting up profiles, users have to select their identifiers, including gender and sexuality. As users make decisions, the app triggers questions that dive deeper into each user’s response.  What is the team composition? I worked with five teammates, including a project manager, the CEO, and an in-house designer.  How did you come to work with Black Widow Tech? I conducted research into mobile app developers.

We didn’t meet our deadlines, which was tough, but the communication about the delays was good. The delays were mostly due to their limited capacity.  What did you find most impressive about them? Black Widow Tech’s team had a lot of integrity.  My trust in them was well-placed — they understood and executed what I wanted. Their quality and communication were good. It felt like we were all on the same team.  Are there any areas they could improve? I’m a unique client and, therefore, not technically savvy. So, I wish there had been a way to orient myself in the space. I’m not quite sure if that’s an improvement, but it would be a value-add for their company.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? I’d advise customers to take advantage of Black Widow Tech’s willingness to collaborate. It’s essential for customers to hold themselves accountable to following meeting schedules.  --- #### Web & Mobile App Dev for Dating Platform **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development, Web Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: June 2021 - June 2022 **Project Summary**: A dating platform hired Black Widow Tech to develop an iOS and Android mobile app and a backend web portal.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used. I knew exactly what I wanted to do so when we started working together our meetings were very detailed on finding the best way to make things work, while also ensuring the ability to scale the solution as quickly as needed.

Black Widow Tech knew how to build excellent apps no matter the difficulty. They put their heart into what they are building and don’t treat you like you are “just another check” for them. I interviewed a lot of companies before I invested a large amount of money to build my application, they were the only company that treated me like a friend and family member and truly believe that we sink and swim together. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? There is always room for improvement in software development, but they have been excellent. I would love to see them implement a project management software with their clients so that we can track builds and updates as they are being completed. --- #### App Development for Social Network Platform **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Oct. 2021 - June 2022 **Project Summary**: Black Widow Tech has conducted full stack development for a social network platform. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, Edumama, LLC - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Jun 15, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: Balck Widow Tech has successfully developed a functional app. The team has followed the agreed timelines and conducted regular meetings to discuss ideas and address the needs and requirements of the internal team.

We needed help building an app that would be the centerpiece of our business. We didn’t have the expertise to develop the solution ourselves, so we looked for providers that could support us. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We’ve first inquired about Black Widow Tech’s services and had an in-depth discussion about what our company is trying to do. Their team has come back with raw proposals, and we’ve gone through an iteration process to refine what the app will look like. We’ve gone through another set of iteration, design cycle, and prototyping to spec out the app’s functionalities and features. Afterward, Black Widow Tech developed the solution from scratch. The app is for data storage, and it allows non-tech savvy users to use a phone camera, scan for information, and do searches on the internet. It has a simple UI and capabilities for external communication and optical recognition. The tool can scan and recognize certain codes; it’s available for Android and iOS. After completing the app, I’ve shown it to various test users to identify issues. Throughout the process, we’ve refined our expectations and continuously looked for problems that can arise.  The end product hasn’t been what we’ve initially pictured, yet we’ve received a functional product from Black Widow Tech. We’ve developed the app’s second version a couple of months later.  What is the team composition? I’ve worked with Tahir (CEO & Project Manager), who serves as our main point of contact.

I saw great feedback, so I decided to work with them.  How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent around $20,000–$30,000.  What is the status of this engagement? We’ve been working together since September 2020, and our partnership is ongoing.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  Black Widow Tech has delivered the app quickly, and it functions as intended and is reliable.  We haven’t yet deployed the app and are only in the focused-user phase, so I can’t say how the app will function with a larger userbase. That said, Black Widow Tech’s output, cost, and execution have made the project successful. I’m pleased with their work. How did Black Widow Tech perform from a project management standpoint? Black Widow Tech’s project management has been excellent. They are communicative, responsive, and have fast turnaround times.

We needed Black Widow Tech to build a mobile application for our company and UX. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Black Widow Tech created a mobile app for us, which is available on iOS and Android. They designed the platform using Sigma Software. When we first reached them, we already had a pretty good idea of what we wanted. Upon our initial conversation, we spoke about our desired outcome. From there, we started planning out what the project would look like and the cost structure. Once we agreed upon the contract cost and schedules, we started the app design, which took several months. From there, the construction started. Black Widow Tech team was able to enhance and modernize what we were envisioning through a collaborative effort that turned into the final product, which we’re now in the final completion stages of launching in the app stores.  What is the team composition? I’ve worked with the founder and CEO as well as the web and graphic designer. How did you come to work with Black Widow Tech? We found them through Clutch. Initially, from our company standpoint, we identified that we needed a mobile app built for our company. We looked overseas to see if it’d be more affordable or if there was a better solution, but none of those solutions we found worked out. Then, we looked through Clutch for mobile app developers in Houston because that’s where we live. From this final search, Black Widow Tech was one of the three options we found.  We interviewed them and chose them for various reasons. For example, we appreciated their flexibility and synergies between our two companies, and they were willing to fit our budget. Moreover, the Clutch reviews on Black Widow Tech from other companies who’d worked with them played a part in our decision. How much have you invested with them? I’d estimate we’ve spent $26,000. What is the status of this engagement? Our first conversation with them was in September 2020, and we started the project development in October 2020. We’re working on completing this phase of the project in March 2021 and launching the apps to the App Store, but our work will continue with Black Widow Tech in the near future. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? From the initial conversation, when we drafted the contract and settled the timelines and expectations, we monitored if they were meeting the development timelines and what was being delivered in testing. We also paid close attention to the openness in communication. Black Widow lived up to and met all of our expectations. They delivered on everything that we've asked for. How did Black Widow Tech perform from a project management standpoint? In addition to SetForMarriage, our team also works in project management for another company, so we have a lot of experience managing and facilitating big projects. In that sense, it helps to speed the process along to know the cycle of a project like this. With Black Widow, we primarily communicated through email and over the phone, and all of our personal experience and Black Widow’s married up nicely, which has created a great relationship.  What did you find most impressive about them? Black Widow stands out for its openness, ease of communication, and frequency in terms of the project’s status. In addition to that, the way they’ve been available to address any changes or adjustments we’ve had in the middle of the project or scope. They’ve been very easy and fluid to work with.  Are there any areas they could improve? I don’t know if what we went through could’ve been done any differently. They’ve delivered on everything we asked them to. They’ve put together project timelines, met those timelines, and communicated with us regularly. I don’t know if I’d change anything or do anything differently than what we’ve done in the past 6–7 months.  Any advice for potential customers? Have a plan of what you want them to build and have realistic timeline expectations.  --- #### Mobile App Development for Business Directory Platform **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: July 2020 - Jan. 2021 **Project Summary**: Black Widow Tech was hired by a business directory platform to develop a mobile app. The first phase of the project focused primarily on UI/UX with the app being developed for the iOS and Android platforms. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 4.0 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 4.5 **The Reviewer** CEO, Ebony Dollar - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Feb 1, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: Internal stakeholders were satisfied with the initial phase of the project.

We also sell merchandise to help fund what we do because theoretically, we’re a nonprofit organization. The products we sell are designed to target minority communities. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Black Widow Tech? We needed developers to help us put our vision into a mobile app. Reaching out to Black Widow Tech allowed us to work with people who are able to articulate what we’re trying to do, and help us design a process to fulfill a need with a mobile app. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? From front to end, we laid out exactly what we wanted to accomplish with the UI/UX. We discussed what it was going to be like from a user, business owner, and administrative perspective. We built the preliminary wireframes to connect the blocks so that we had a bottom line to work with.  Afterwards, we looked at the process and tweaked it to look and feel the way we envisioned it. Once that was done, we started testing the app so we can roll over into the final phase of knocking out small bits and pieces we wanted to edit out. This is done before we could produce the final product to the Apple Store and Google Play Store. What is the team composition? We worked with Tahir (CEO) How did you come to work with Black Widow Tech? I found them in Clutch through a Google search. I was able to look at the reviews from other developers, and Black Widow Tech was one of the three companies that I reached out to. I engaged with Tahir and worked through the process of developing a mobile app. Since I also have a background in it, I wanted somebody to give me a little insight into how they process the development.  I did some research on Google and found a couple of his YouTube videos, doing my due diligence with some background work on them — just to see what they’ve done in the past. We had a couple of one-on-one meetings and then ultimately decided to go with Black Widow Tech. Being in close proximity to where I’m located also helped in the decision. How much have you invested with them? It was around $6,500. What is the status of this engagement? Phase one of the project started in July 2020–January 2021. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The opinion I share with my team is that it’s been a great start. The investment wasn’t overly-aggressive because we wanted to do things in a methodical way — not just throw money and have no idea what the return was going to be. We’re going into this project in phases and collectively, we feel like we’re headed in the right direction. It’s not the end of it, but we’re liking where we’re at, and we’re glad we chose Black Widow Tech for this. How did Black Widow Tech perform from a project management standpoint? The overall communication has been pretty fair. There were a couple of times when the process slowed down due to the pandemic. We experienced some miscommunications but it was really nothing unusual. What did you find most impressive about them? They were extremely flexible from a cost and scoping perspective. As a result, it allowed me to be more flexible with some of the communication missteps. I wanted to meet their flexibility with the same type of energy they had given me. Are there any areas they could improve? The only thing they need to do is stay on top of their communications. Do you have any advice for potential customers? My advice would be to make sure they lay out their vision, communicate with Black Widow Tech, and get an idea of what the scope is going to look like. You should also make sure to document everything in partnership with Black Widow Tech — they’re great partners to work with. Lay everything out on the table so that they know exactly what they’re going to deliver, and so that there are no surprises on both ends. As long as your communications are open, you should have a desirable experience with Black Widow Tech. --- #### Marketing & UX for Meeting Facilitator App **The Project** - Services: Advertising, UX/UI Design - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Nov. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Black Widow Tech is providing UX design and creating templates for a new app. They came up with the full design, color, and made it user friendly.

What did you find most impressive about them? I’m impressed with their professionalism.

"“Black Widow has been very responsive.”   " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We’re a security company that provides physical security for clients. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Black Widow Tech? We’re trying to streamline our operations by making an app that serves as a one-stop-shop for guards to check-in and out, report incidents, take photos, and log their hours. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Black Widow is helping us develop our mobile app. We’d seen something comparable, so we already had an idea of what we wanted the app to look like. We communicated that to Black Widow. What is the team composition? We worked with two people. I came on in the middle of the project, so I don’t know their positions. How did you come to work with Black Widow Tech? My partner knew Tahir (CEO & Product Manager) and reached out. He found them online and chose them because of their reviews.  How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent a little over $8,000 so far. What is the status of this engagement? It’s been about a six-month process, and it’s ongoing.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  We’re still in the test phase. We haven’t launched because we’re waiting on certain credentials. For instance, our Apple Developer enrollment just went through.  We’ve seen a demo, but we haven’t actually implemented the app into our entire program, so we can’t provide feedback in terms of operations or functionality. How did Black Widow Tech perform from a project management standpoint? Black Widow has been very responsive. What did you find most impressive about them? Black Widow’s attentiveness, responsiveness, and ability to work around our schedule stand out. Are there any areas they could improve? The only criticism I have for Black Widow is that there were certain aspects of the process that required video direction. Once we overcame that obstacle, we were able to advance the process. They corrected the issue, but it might have delayed the process slightly. I’m not a techie, and I found that there was an oversimplification of things that were actually more involved, and I needed assistance with them. Once I explained it to them, they were good at making sure that any follow-ups were facilitated.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? Firstly, I would advise that whoever is using the service should have a strong idea as to what they want. Secondly, once the concept is presented, just follow the steps. Depending on the level of technical competency, make sure that Black Widow is walking the person requiring the services through the process. --- ## Portfolio & Awards ### Assymbly Assymbly is a phenomenal project that integrates a mobile app, web app, and admin web app, all hosted on AWS.
