It is not worth continuing to work with Fictive Studios. Initially, Samuel Victor, the Mobile App Strategist, assured me that the company would complete my project within the 130-day contract timeline. For a month before signing up, his communication was excellent. However, once I made the majority of the payments, he became unresponsive and unhelpful. Mark Lewis, the Senior Project Manager, communicated from July 7th until November, with the last contact on March 19th. The app was paid off in February for $33,200, but as of July 2nd, over a year later, it remains unfinished. The payment breakdown is as follows: - Project Signing: $1,500 - Project Initiation: $7,140 - Wireframes (10%): $2,880 - UI/UX Finalization (10%): $4,280 - Development Phase 1 (20%): $7,260 - Development Phase 2 (30%): $10,140 - Total Cost: $33,200 Once they received my money, communication and progress stopped from Mark and Samuel, and they shifted focus to other projects. This left me, and many other customers, with unfinished projects and wasted time. I have experienced emotional distress, almost had to file bankruptcy, business losses, and a financial impact of over $75,000 in six months. Including missed business opportunities, my total loss is $108,000 between what I paid for the app and potential earnings if the app was out. My website made $50,000 in 15 weeks. The app still has numerous misspellings and improper sentences. There is no collaborative effort from the team to complete the project correctly, with attention to detail. I have spent over 140 hours creating PDF documents, including three separate documents, and providing screenshots and specific instructions. Despite this, they continue to disregard my directions. I strongly advise against working with Fictive Studios. Granted, they have made a few changes but nowhere near close to finishing. I haven’t even started testing the app yet. Not to mention, they haven’t created the admin panel for the app. They’ve breached the contract. Stay away. They don’t mind taking payments and not fulfilling their contract as expected and if you wait too long you can’t get your funds back from the banks after roughly 30-60 days. "Also, pay attention to the one-star reviews. They’ll respond and say they have no record of your name. Many companies do this to make it seem like the customer is mistaken, which is why I uploaded pictures and proof of the receipt, part of the contract, and text messages as well." I don’t mind coming back and changing my review if they decide to fix the issues I’m experiencing. However, as of now, I haven’t received what I paid for, and I’m still losing valuable time. I may be out of business now if I don’t get this app out in time because of this situation. Currently I’m back to update this and it’s 14 months & counting and still stuck on beta phase. I recieved a hour long call yesterday at 1:46 pm from Mustafa stating that the developers haven’t built the app right and will need to start over or if we move forward we could face major issues if we release.

Think long and hard before using Fictive Studios. They misrepresented to me what their developers could accomplish. Their contracts are designed so that you pay 80% of the project up front before learning what it truly is that they can do. You later find yourself without a functioning app and expenses already paid out for intangibles. Save yourself and find real developers.
