Mobile app project and we wanted to develop the app to give access to our users to financial services : transfers , payments etc

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We searched via the app and short listed 4 and following our discussions we chose ripen apps

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We had discovery meeting then meetings for the design of the app. Then every end of milestones we had meeting to review the work and discuss potential improvements. Communication was super smooth with the team.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

A great project manager was assigned to us (Ayaz) then we had several lead back and front developers Jitain and others but Anupam was the best lead who did the extra mile to make sure we meet our requirements.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

The app is not completed yet as we decided to add add-ons and the design needs to be improved , hopefully this will be done. One negative feedback is the cost of the add on.

smooth and easy communication with the team via different channel. Super available ! They work hard. Well done

The most impressive is the speed at which they can work and the fact that they work around the clock to complete their task including week ends

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

Yes. Keep the same lead for the whole project. The direction of the project was much better once we got Anupam in charge. Before him he add too many counterparts and often we had to explain things again from scratch.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the director.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire RipenApps, and what were your goals?

We contracted with this company for the development of an Edtech platform. Our goal was to create a Mobile App for providing online courses.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We came to know that they have made another Edtech App wiand hence wanted to work with them assuming that they have a prior work experience in developing and Edtech Mobile App.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Under the project they have to deliver Mobile Apps for both IOS and Android (with Landscape views for tablet/IPAD), a website and Admin Pannel.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Not knowing exactly. But around 3-4 were used initially in the design process. And in the development process also 4 people were used. One of them was a manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The outcome was AN INCOMPLETE APP. What we wanted to build was well communicated in advance. To make sure things don't messup we created wireframes ourselves and explained to them that this is what we want. They took time in making wireframes them selves and then when the development begun, they completely messed up. Every time they used to send us the build, it used to crash before opening. We send them videos of the app crashing and they used to send another build and same problem again.

Our project was signed to be completed in one year but even after 3 years, the app was not completed. We visited their office three times to solve the issues but they still couldn't. The best that manager could say was I don't have allocated team. Every time they used to send the app for us to test. Isn't it their responsibility to check the app.

We were so frustrated with this company that we asked them to give a full demo of the app, website and admin Pannel but guess what, they didnt do it. We requested to review the app and do QA before making it live, but they rejected. They were in hurry to launch the app in play store and App Store. The manager said that launching the app will take time so let's launch the app and we will keep on working with the app. We said yes but later on they were not responding.

We were so frustrated with them that we said send us the codes we will not bother you again. The app that we have now has not even integrated the payment gateway (after 3 years of their development, what a shame isn't it.) This company is less of energy and will waste your time, money, energy and passion. Please, please, please do not fall in this trap.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

What more to say. This company is not at all good at understanding your needs. They just copy and paste the same codes from their previous clients and keep on delaying.

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

I am not impressed by anything except their ability to ask money without doing a good work in todays time.

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

There are some serious problems within the company. I don't know why I selected to work with this company. This company should shut down.

We have already been posted on mulitple social media outlets and are available on the android and iOS platforms. We have already had some promosing sales figures and interest from the highest levels professionals on the ATP and WTA tour.

The company was very well structured, organized and very cost efficient so we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build or improve an app

Describe the project in detail.

Not many details can be shared here but the way they handled the project was really impressive.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We are launching on Play Store soon and currently, the applications and websites are running without any kind of crashes. The product has been built to scale.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was really very efficient, Rishabh our Product Manager was available at all times, even during odd hours like midnight, the team even worked on holidays to ensure faster implementation, as the product initially got delayed due to complex requirements.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The core competency of the company is what impressed me the most.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I'd want them to have lesser points of contact in the initial stages of a product as that may lead to miscommunication and unnecessary delay.

BACKGROUND

The company invents, develops, manufactures, and publishes sports-related software and content. Through its patented technologies, the company aims to launch a suite of apps that support, excite, and entertain the sports community worldwide.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire RipenApps?

In the first project, RipenApps developed the beta version (MVP) of the company's first mobile app.

What were your goals for this project?

Generally, the goals related to developing and testing the app to satisfy the list of design requirements and wireframes. The app required the development of a complex algorithm, requiring expertise in the areas of Swift coding and an in-depth understanding of the native recording functionality of Apple devices.

SOLUTION

How did you select RipenApps?

We received a list of prospective developers from our associates, and we performed online research for additional prospects. We issued RFPs to several prospects, and we interviewed several prospects. Through these efforts, we selected RipenApps.

Describe the project in detail.

We drafted, negotiated and signed an NDA as well as a software development and support agreement. RipenApps showed flexibility in the negotiation process. The agreement included an exhibit of our design requirements, algorithm flows charts and preliminary wire frames.  

RipenApps quickly provided draft wire frames and revised them per our multiple rounds of input.  From there, RipenApps provided draft screen shots and revised them per our multiple rounds of input. RipenApps then began coding and provided us with a test version. Afterwards we worked closely with the RipenApps team to test and debug the app. 

What was the team composition?

The RipenApps team for our project included marketing professionals, graphic designers, and computer programmers as well as two executive officers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The development of the novel algorithm was particularly challenging and required considerable R&D.  Through our collaboration and RipenApps' commitment, RipenApps accomplished the development.  We are now undergoing the final steps for launch.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The communication methods included Skype, email, WhatsApp, and Basecamp. We found a combination of WhatsApp and Basecamp to be most effective. Through RipenApps' Basecamp account, we were able to share and receive documents and feedback among all team members from both sides.

We implemented weekly design calls, which were followed by Basecamp messages and updates throughout the week.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

In a word, I would say integrity. When we encountered difficulties, such as the need for different/new features and unanticipated design challenges, RipenApps earnestly and honestly worked with us to find a resolution. As a true partner, RipenApps demonstrated its professionalism and devotion to fulfilling its commitments.

Are there any areas for improvement?

The move to Basecamp for group communication was a major help. I recommend that RipenApps implement Basecamp communication from the start.

Founder

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire RipenApps?

We intended to develop web app and mobile app that require video call.

What were your goals for this project?

The project was paid in February 2020 at to start the project.

SOLUTION

How did you select RipenApps?

We found RipenApps from clutch.com. We saw they have 5 star.

Describe the project in detail.

This company should develop mobile app, and web app for our need.

What was the team composition?

They assigned different peoples that keep changing and always asking the same question again and again; and it seem they do not have good team work and no proper documentation. Several of the team do not want to have video call or can be contacted and we are starting to suspect there maybe something wrong with the company.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

RipenApps seem struggle to understand basic knowledge of business analysis. They are good in accepting project and delaying project. Every update they gave is very raw, premature, unfinished and the pending job become pilling up until we realized that this company has internal problem.

We are hoping no one will get the same problem as ours in the future with RipenApps. And were also hoping this company could really proof what they claim with the star in Clutch.

Our least suggestion to do is you should not ever think to give project to this company when they are asking payment by not using trusted coworking platform; if you are really want to deal with this company . The best we can suggest, you can find much better one without ever think to deal with them.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They do not have effective workflow framework as expected. They did not treat or respect our document we had submitted and they keep forgetting thing. We suspect this is a way to eliminate our request one by one until we also forget what we have requested. Not the good team we have expected from the money and time we have spend.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They are good to spending our precious time, patience, and money without decent return. Please do not ever think to deal with them. They might still decent in designing wireframes, but our project has in that stage for very long time.

They have release an app but the app is very rough that we as a client need to test by ourselves just to find that the app was buggy and cannot do simple thing as normal login.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We hope this company could learn how to develop serious application. I hope they really run this company for real.
