Zestbrains was supposed to deliver a fully functional mobile app for both iOS and Android, but never did, as they took the money and didn't complete the project.

The only measurable outcome they manage to give us was a design in Figma and a test app, which was not fully functional.

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

Absolutely rubbish. The main PM for the project, Himanshu, never managed the whole process. We had to always chase him to get answer. He never delivered anything. if not when threatened of being sued. After him, we got another PM,who was more responsive, for about 2 weeks, then he disappeared as well. Zestbrains has zero project management skills internally. 
They claim to be a software development company but they have nothing of it. Also to note, that they didn't respond to emails for months, nor Skype or Slack messages. The project was supposed to be delivered in 30 days, it's been now 16 months and we know we lost the money.
