🚨‼️ BEWARE OF TRANGO TECH - 14 MONTHS AND NO APP COMPLETED! 🚨‼️
Based on my experience my advice is - BEWARE OF TRANGO TECH. I signed a contract with Trango Tech in October 2024 to build an app for me. The app was contractually supposed to be completed in 90–100 business days, but realistically should have been finished by July 2025. It’s now December 2025, and it has been 14 very frustrating months, and my app still isn’t finished (despite 40! TestFlight versions). Yesterday (11th December 2025), they informed me they are canceling our contract (by reasoning that is not valid under our contract) and will not be completing my app (despite my repeated requests to complete my app) due to project complexity, duration (items that should have been done in a day or week weren’t done for months with many delays and countless missed deadlines, and the work, in my experience, contained many errors and inconsistencies, which I repeatedly reported), and repeated review cycles (as a client, I had to review countless errors repeatedly, which should have been quality-checked by them). The reality is they failed to complete my app, the work was not performed to the required standard, and there were countless delays and repeated missed deadlines over many months. They have severely damaged my business and caused me to lose income and now I have no viable app, despite also spending a significant amount on legitimate business costs such as trademarking and legal fees. I have repeatedly asked to engage in discussions for reasonable compensation for my losses. I did not receive a reply to my formal letters of demand for months. Trango Tech also have/had misleading and deceptive material on their website including apparent fake reviews (one of their review photos is a stock photo on Freepix), an office in Melbourne, companies they haven’t worked with (Bunnings, K Mart, Big W, Suncorp Bank, Qantas etc), and many offices across the USA that appear misleading or unverified (staff members verbally told me they were physically located in San Jose and Chicago). It appears they are largely based in Pakistan, despite claims of numerous offices across the USA and Melbourne, and the use of USA phone numbers. They are refusing to provide me with a refund which I am legally entitled to under our contract. They also stated they will withhold my code/ I.P. if I engage in legal proceedings which is not in accordance with our contract and unlawful. They are withholding my IP unlawfully and keep repeatedly asking me to sign a project closure/settlement document which is not required or needed to provide my Intellectual Property. I have repeatedly stated I will not sign this and asked them not ask me again but they keep repeatedly asking me to sign this closure/settlement document. They also keep repeating justifications for not providing my refund that are both invalid and irrelevant under our contract. The staff members I have dealt with are Obaid Chawla (who claimed to be based in Salt Lake City when we signed our contract), Shaharyar (Sha) Rehman, Danish Paul (who admitted to using a USA phone number even though he was in Pakistan - and claimed this was because he travelled between Pakistan and USA and that this is common in the industry), Andrew Smith, Kamran Anjum, and Elliot Mason (both Andrew and Elliot claimed to live in Chicago and work at Sangam on St 215 floor 3, Chicago). I also phoned the phone number Trango Tech list on Trustpilot in December 2025 and the person I spoke to stated he was in Trango Tech’s San Jose office along with 30 other Trango Tech employees. Based on my experience, my advice is do not engage with Trango Tech!! If you have had a similar experience, consider reporting it to the relevant authorities such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Better Business Bureau (BBB) (noting Trango Tech currently have an “F” rating by the BBB), consumer authorities in your state etc. Also based on my personal experience with Trango Tech and noticing several other 1-star reviews, I find the pattern of 5-star reviews of Trango Tech on Trustpilot and other review platforms to be highly suspicious! There are currently 9 seperate 1 star reviews of Trango Tech on Trustpilot all reporting Trango Tech did not deliver, produced low quality and incomplete work, engaged in unethical business tactics, and/or are highly suspicious or worse.
