I opened the process up to several app developers and Finally Free Productions stood out because they were very upfront with the scope of work necessary and the fact that it wouldn't be an easy fix. Most companies were promising me a quick turnaround and a very cheap price, but Finally Free Productions took the time to go through the process with me.

We've spent the last several months developing the prototype for the app and are now engaged in working on version one of the app.

The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am a co-founder and CEO of an online learning platform.
For what projects/services did your company hire Finally Free Productions?
We were looking for an interactive design for our new app. We are so happy with the final designs that FFP delivered. The entire process of working with the design team at FFP was seamless. We got to interact directly with the designers and the overall experience was amazing to work as a team towards a mutual goal that is to get an awesome functional design. The team was flexible with changes and readily available for any discussion.
The team also contributed to our discussions with their feedback. We are so happy to have found an extended team in FFP. The team is very professional with a quick turn around time. Jack Spataro has been a total pleasure to work with and so responsive. We would highly recommend this company. Overall an amazing experience and we look forward to start working on the development of our new product with FFP! Kudos to you, FFP, for being an amazing team that you are! :)
How did you select this vendor?
We searched online for the best UX/UI developers and shortlisted many. After interviewing all of them, we shortlisted FFP based on the previous work that they have done. And, We are so glad we choose them.
Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.
The team spent good amount of time to understand the project before jumping into it. Once they understood the requirement, they were very quick to deliver the expected design. They broke the main goal into workable modules and worked towards them delivering quality in time.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We worked with a Project Manager who was super responsive. We also worked with the Design lead.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We're pleased with the deliverables from their team. We started with the design and now looking forward to start working on the development on this project.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
The project manager, Jack Spataro, was easy to communicate with and provided us frequent updates. We had both in-person and meetings and phone calls, but most of the feedback was through email. Everything was delivered on time and we were given ample warning if a deadline wasn't going to be met.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They knew everything from in-depth research to perfect execution. They were also patient and willing to walk us through their process while we learnt.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
I don't see any major areas of improvement. A very small one is that the designer could have been involved right at the discovery stage. We can all be more involved in the development stage for quick turn arounds and lesser iterations.

Mobile App Development for Consumer Social Media Platform
"They’re a great company with great people who are focused on their consumers all the time."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I will be the CEO of the current business that I'm going to establish.
What challenge were you trying to address with Finally Free Productions?
With Finally Free Productions, I have been building an application for consumer social media.
What was the scope of their involvement?
First of all, there was a phase where we reviewed and searched through millions of apps to try to figure out if the idea that we're proposing, is being used by any other product and if the application is currently available. Finally Free Productions were very willing and upfront in helping me out, trying to figure out whether there was a similar application process, and we were lucky that there was nothing similar to what we're proposing at this time. Later on, I was told about different phases of the application, including the initial PDF formats of the application which have been formulated over different forms.
There was significant back and forth communication about three drafts that will be created and finalized — so far, there are four different screenshots and different web pages that the product will bring up or utilize during its run. Finally Free Productions have been very, very clear and they have completed everything that was asked for and they promised in a very timely manner.
Their communication is very strong, they are flexible, and they’re able to accommodate my questions and suggestions, including last-minute changes. I just felt that my idea would flourish, and they worked on it as if this was their own idea — they attempted to bring everything into real life.
The purpose of the app is social interaction and the key features are improving social interactions. There are questions that we have through the review of our personal interactions in social gatherings and in social media — and we’ve created this product based on those.
We will build this app on both iOS and Android platforms, but we'll build it first on the iOS platform. We had an option to build it for both, but we tried to shy away from a hybrid product that may not have similar functionality, as compared to a pure iOS or Android product.
We provided documentation and wireframes to get started with the project and Finally Free Productions are able to immensely help with that — they also did extensive research and discovery for the project initially. The app is currently in development and it will be finished soon. It’s going to be a good product and it will more than likely dominate the social media mix in our current assessment.
What is the team composition?
Nick (UI/UX Designer & Project Consultant) is our main point of contact, which is very helpful because he's immediately accessible for any questions. I have also spoken to their designer and two team members from their team. There have been additional team members that have been working on the project, but these two people are the designer and communication coordinator.
How did you come to work with Finally Free Productions?
I browsed on the internet for different app development companies and went through reviews for a few of them. I received codes from a couple of them and had given them my ideas. I favored Finally Free Productions’ timely communication and their immense interest in the product, so I chose to work with them.
How much have you invested with them?
So far, I’ve invested $4,000, and I'm promising to give up to $40,000 to finish the product. An additional build for Android will also cost an additional $40,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in April 2021, and this is still an ongoing partnership.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
First of all, their designers are great. They can help polish your own idea, and actually show you a better product than what you’d expect in terms of color schemes, app building, or technical aspects. The partnership is a mutual collaboration and they’re adding more to the app.
The second thing I'll say is that they set a timeline and stick to it. The three adobe PDF formats that we’ve done so far were done on schedule, and they were able to accommodate any last-minute changes and ideas that I brought to their attention.
How did Finally Free Productions perform from a project management standpoint?
Excellent. We mostly communicate via phone calls and review data one by one after we receive emails. In some cases, we communicate through virtual meetings using Google.
What did you find most impressive about them?
We’re impressed with their timely communication, and their fair and realistic assessment. We also like their accommodation in terms of what the consumer wants.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They have done everything that I ever asked them to do. I just wish they could reduce the cost somehow.
Any advice for potential customers?
It's an excellent company and I suggest you don't think too much before working with them. They're very motivated people and they’re very efficient in communication and coordination. They will brighten up your ideas and build the product in a manner that you will love — they’re a great company with great people who are focused on their consumers all the time.
I have a 2–3 hour time difference with them, but they're still available for us on Saturday evenings. Most of our conversations happen after work hours, and we can reach them any time — that speaks to the quality of work that they perform. Go ahead and sign up and you will not regret it.

Android & iOS App Development for Task-Delivery Startup
“Overall, their customer service is the best; the fact that I have access to them at any time proves that.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO of TaskMaster, the ultimate service app. Our business model is similar to food delivery services, except we come to complete tasks and services.
What challenge were you trying to address with Finally Free Productions?
I worked with Finally Free Productions to create our app.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Finally Free Productions has created our iOS and Android apps, and they’re also taking care of the apps’ updates. In terms of the app’s functionality, it sends push notifications to our workers to let them know about the tasks nearby. Then, they can either accept or deny doing tasks. If they accept the task, the app will guide them to the task’s location through GPS. These can also be scheduled, allowing workers to bid. If a customer wants someone to walk their dog, our workers can bid on it. A rating system is available for both the workers and the task supplier.
After completing the prototype, Finally free Productions is now helping me through a crowdfunding process to see what I can get from people who believe in my idea.
For this project, I initially gave them a general idea of what I wanted the app to look like, including ideas on its color scheme. Then, they gave me a first draft where I could comment about what I liked and didn’t like. After submitting the second and third drafts, they finally executed the development of the app’s prototype.
What is the team composition?
I mainly work with Nick (UI/UX Designer & Project Consultant), who handles the customer service. He is the middleman between me and the people who do the coding.
How did you come to work with Finally Free Productions?
I searched on Google for app creators and looked at the websites that it yielded. I checked all of them for what they could offer, but Finally Free Productions stood out to me because I received a personal call from Nick. He was the only person who called me out of the whole list. As a result, I decided to go with Finally Free Productions.
How much have you invested with them?
So far, I’ve invested around $7,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began the project at the end of March 2021, and it’s ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
While the process is ongoing, we’ve completed a highly successful prototype, which presents what can and cannot be done on the app.
How did Finally Free Productions perform from a project management standpoint?
Their project management is wonderful, and they’re very hands-on with me. I speak to Nick at least once a week to discuss everything that we have coming up with TaskMaster. They work with me as a group and I feel comfortable with them. They do a great job all around in terms of how they explain and break everything down. To communicate, we use emails, Google Meet, and Adobe tools.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Finally Free Productions’ hands-on approach to the project is impressive. I can call them even on holidays, such as when I called Nick on Memorial Day and he answered the phone to listen to my concerns.
Overall, their customer service is the best; the fact that I have access to them at any time proves that. We still have boundaries, but they make me feel comfortable enough to ask them anything.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, there aren’t any. We’ve had a problem with our contract per our lawyer, but they’ve fixed it instantly. Overall, I trust them like good neighbors.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Use Nick as your customer service representative. He’s a wonderful person and has been like that throughout the whole process. I can call him anytime and ask him anything about the app. On top of that, he makes wonderful suggestions.

Please describe your company and your position there.
SafeZone is a mobile app that allows students with substance use problems, mental and physical disabilities to find community support. We cater to populations from 13-28.
When launched this October, we will be a "SafeZone" for students to find help from persons in their age group, or with parental consent from adults. I am the sole founder and CEO of SafeZone Inc.
For what projects/services did your company hire Finally Free Productions?
Finally Free productions did so much for us! From helping us develop our concept to building the mobile app. Finally Free Productions is more than a web development company! They make you feel like family and really treat you like family.
What were your goals for this project?
The goal of SafeZone was to create an app where students ranging from 13-28 can have a space to connect with people who are battling or living with similar issues.
How did you select this vendor?
After speaking with numerous vendors for nearly a year I found Finally Free Productions. When speaking with the team it felt like I was speaking with my older brothers literally. They were not solely concerned with profiting. They helped me prevent numerous mistakes and even prevent overspending on my concept.
I selected them because they would call me occasionally to check in and continuously motivate me to chase my dream.
Describe the project in detail.
SafeZone Inc. Many of our youth are battling addictions and living with disabilities. There are very few outlets where our youth (students) can be vulnerable and receive community support.
SafeZone is an app that allows students ranging from 13-28+ to have an outlet to vent and find community support. There will be experts on the app who are not students who also will be giving support to users but cannot receive support.
We are very much built on the peer support concept. SafeZone will be in stores mid-October and the rest is to be seen then!
What was the team composition?
I am the sole founder and owner of SafeZone but I have an advisory board of mental health professionals.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The project is still in the development phase, therefore, progress nor success cannot yet be measured.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Extremely effective! Finally Free Productions worked with my team and even guided us at times.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
They have the most reasonable prices in the business but yet put in an extreme amount of effort.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Finally Free Productions is a pretty well ran company. I do feel they would benefit from creating an app where their customers can create a draft of their prototypes which will save both parties more time.

I, Thomas Baggett, and Cade Barger, are the founders at Party Kings Media LLC. The two of us created the company off of our vision we had for our app, Party Kings. The app connects people with nightlife events in a modern, innovative way.
For what projects/services did your company hire Finally Free Productions?
Party Kings Media LLC hired Finally Free Productions to bring our vision of the Party Kings app to life. They are building our app, as well as helping us on our journey within the start-up company arena.
What were your goals for this project?
Our goals for this project were to build our app, and to learn the journey of building a tech-based company.
How did you select this vendor?
Finally Free Productions is a fairly priced developer within the United States. We could tell that the team was very interested in our work as we kept in touch over several months. Finally Free is more than just a developer, they are trainers within the start-up world, and they guided us every step of the way.
Describe the project in detail.
Once we contacted Finally Free Productions, they wanted to ensure us our ideas and work were safe. We signed an NDA and started talking in terms of how development works. Through January to June, Finally Free Productions guided us on how to build our app with them, as well as telling us all of the ins and outs of the industry.
Once our team was able to make the first payment on development in June, Finally Free Productions began developing our app. We communicate with Finally Free many times each week, and we are extremely satisfied with the help, work, and guidance they have provided us with.
What was the team composition?
Initially, we were assigned project manager and spokesman, Horton, who communicated to us the entire time. He often brought in the Tech Lead to help answer our questions which he felt were best coming from him, Sage. With the two of them, we never had an unanswered question. We still work with the two daily.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
First, our team is extremely grateful for Finally Free Productions guiding us on our journey for several months. The company stuck with us through ups and downs from our own company, and we can truly say that the team at Finally Free Productions cares about our success.
We are extremely excited about our upcoming development of our app which began in June of 2020. We know with Finally Free Production’s great communication skills, that our app will be just as we imagined.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
The workflow was amazing given the fact that we communicated strictly over video call and phone call. Our company is based out of Texas, and yet the distance played no negative affect on the workflow and effectiveness in our progress.
Finally Free Productions was always very good at keeping in touch with us, even when we failed to do so at times. They are very professional and work on a very tight, and orderly schedule.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
We found it very impressive that Finally Free Productions has been able to keep amazing communication over the past several months (Feb 2020 - June 2020). Despite the pandemic, distance, and time constraints, Finally Free Productions has kept us, the customer, at top priority, and it really shows. This team is here for us, and is willing to fight for us. They truly care about our success within our journey.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Communication skills will always be difficult when there is a time and distance constraint. However, we are still please in the fact that Finally Free Production has bee able to maintain constant communication during the past few months.

Please describe your company and your position there.
Gamer Loot app is an E-sports skills challenge platform. We allow players to challenge friends and outside opponents for set loot amounts. While doing so we also provide each player the ability to stream their matches in order for them to build and grow their own communities. I'm a Co-Founder and Head of Business Development.
For what projects/services did your company hire Finally Free Productions?
The Gamer Loot team hired FFP to produce our wire-frame prototype initially. Once they delivered on this phase (early I might add) we decided to move forward with Phase Two which was starting the back end development of the app itself.
What were your goals for this project?
Our goals are to become the leading E-Sports Challenge and Streaming App.
How did you select this vendor?
Our team researched top app developers within the NYC area and found a total of 3 teams we we're impressed with. We ended up selecting FFP after our initial phone call that had us excited to meet them in person.
The 3 of us Founders felt super comfortable with Saj and his team. They themselves were gamers and could relate to our product immediately, not to mention they are an Award Winning App development team.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
FFP provided wire-frame development and interactive prototyping. They provided UX/UI strategy advice that was key in building the app itself.
What was the team composition?
Saj has been the overall source of information and strategy as the Project Lead. Horton has been our main point of contact for all items on our list. Aaliayah has also acted as developer and project lead.
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
FFP has most certainly steered us around issues in our original user flow map. With their experience in building applications and us being new to the space, months and many dollars have been saved on our part thanks to their input.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
We have been in full communication from meeting to delivery of Phase 1. The team at FFP has offered us an open line of communication for any ideas or questions we have, no matter when we have them. All meetings and initial conversations have been arranged through Horton. All progress and deliveries have come from Saj/Aaliayah.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
First off their humbleness, they are an award winning app development team and yet they did not overly brag about this accomplishment. Second they were down to earth and incredibly relatable. Thirdly they offered an incredible amount of expertise and knowledge about developing applications in the gaming world.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Not as of now.
The website was launched on time and users left positive feedback on it. The mining site is working perfectly and the client experienced no issues whatsoever. The client was most impressed by the vendor's knowledge, patience, organizational skills, creativity, and ability to put asks into action.
