Created my horse buying and selling app

Rahul and the Appscrip team have gone above and beyond my expectations. I have never built an app, and I'm still the weakest link in the tech part of my business. I stumbled upon Appscrip by Googling "how to make an app" and Rahul won me over with his enthusiasm for my project and the ideas he brought to the project from the very beginning. The team is patient with me and above all always figures out a way to add the features I want to my project, they've never told me they can't do something.
This road has been hard, time consuming and uncertain at times but I couldn't have picked a better partner to be on my journey with than the Appscrip team. I am about a year and half into my project with them and already have a beautiful iOS and Android version and they continue to help me innovate to make it better. I know I wouldn't be where I am in my business if it hadn't be for choosing Appscrip.

What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
Their ability to help me innovate. Because my background is marketing and sales, not tech, they have the have the tools to make my dreams a reality. They put things into the app I didn't even know I needed. It's a powerful feeling knowing that if I dream it, they can make it a reality.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
We have certainly had our ups and downs, just like any business or partnership, but if I talk with them about my concerns, they address them and make it right. In the beginning it was communication, we addressed it and now it is wonderful. Even the time zone differences aren't really a problem. I know what time I can reach them and I'm sure to plan my day around it. I'm willing to make the concession in that way because at this point, and how wonderful they have been to me and my project, I wouldn't want to work with any other company.

At first I was very skeptical because of nightmares I have heard about dealing with companies overseas, and not being able to trust them. Especially in India. After discussing my project with Rahul Sharma CEO of Appscrip, I decided to take a chance on their products. I am very glad I did. I found them to be very trustworthy, above board and very personable. I now have a product that is well built and I am very confident about it. The Appscrip team was very easy to work with and always available to solve any problems or questions I had. I really appreciated Shivangi head of the design team at Appscrip who went out of her way to make sure I was completely satisfied with my custom design. Even after my product was finished and delivered, the team at Appscip have gone out of their way to answer questions and solve problems that I have created. I look forward to a long term relationship with the Appscrip team.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
Customer service, great support and very personable. Well built product.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
I had a very good experience.

Hired 2 app development companies that failed me and then found App Script . . .

I wanted to launch a food delivery app in my area. After asking all of my friends I found that I couldn't find any personal recommendations that didn't cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. So I hired an "app company" (that's what they called themselves). They were priced the lowest so I went with them. They showed me a working app and said they would customize it for me. After months and after I had paid them, they couldn't deliver a working app to the app store. It was very frustrating.
So I decided to hire another "app company". They showed me another working app that was found in the app store and said they could rebrand this app to fit my needs. Again after months, and after paying this company, nothing was delivered. So I left to look for another app company.
I had reached out to App Script in the past but didn't go with them because the other two companies were cheaper. It's true - you pay for what you get. I should've just gone with App Script from the start. I would've saved a lot of money and time.
Do yourself a favor and hire App Script.

Hello,
I did not expect that appscrip will force me to write this review. I always tried to maintain a good relationship with appscrip to complete my project. but unfortunately, they haven't completed my project yet due to their poor project management and Lots of bugs in the system.
CEO of Appscrip Rahul Sharma and his team agreed to complete my project in 45 days and now its been almost 6 months and my project is not Live. Sadly they requested another 2 months to complete the project.
When I research about the Appscrip I found lots of negative reviews and few good reviews on google. I trusted those good reviews and offered my project to them. Maybe you can check on google using these keywords such as APPSCRIP REVIEWS, APPSCRIP SCAM. Now I feel like I made a big mistake in my Entrepreneurial life and regretting to tie-up with Appscrip. I would like to share my experience on below topics as short as possible.
Early-Stage Communication
It all stated well with appscrip's sales team. I was extremely happy with the way sales team handle our requests and proceed the project further. They were almost on time on all the meetings and most of the time they were flexible with our schedules. This kind of behaviour gave us huge trust on their company. But unfortunately, it didn't last for long!!! After we pay the initial payment (50%) things started to go wrong directions. We noticed their responses are not on time, especially when they missed the deadline lots of excuses such as CEO is on holiday, developers are sick and family emergency. When a developer on holiday or out of work we need to wait until he returns to work. There are no replacement resources in their company.
False Commitments
Appscrip has been provided me lots of false commitments on the project completion dates. Initially they committed to complete the project in 45 days and now they are requesting 8 months to complete the project. (25/10/2020 - June 2021)
5 false deadline
10/12/2020
16/12/2020
25/01/2021
24/02/2021
June 2021
After all these false deadlines I was extremely fed-up with their false commitments and I requested the refund. However, they said their team has spent lots of time into this project and requested another 2 weeks to complete the project. I thought let's give them a final chance to complete the project but today 01/04/2021 and our project is not ready yet.
Poor project management and no professionalism
Appscrip doesn't provide any project updates until you contact them, there are many times I need to do multiple follow ups in Skype, email, and WhatsApp for same the issue. Sometimes If they don't have any answer, they don't bother to respond to you. I have lost lots of my personal appointments regarding their bad project management.
Lots of bugs, bugs, bugs.... and bugs.
Me and my team was extremely exhausted with their application bugs. I don't understand their developers are well experienced or have enough time to work in our project. The reason behind is they took nearly 4 months to fix the bugs and still keep fixing?
No transparent in the third-party Costs
I initially agree to buy their delivery system, but apscrip said they are going to upgrade to a new delivery system, and they demonstrated to me. I agreed to go with the new system after confirming all the functions. Before I sign the contract, they mentioned, for the decent performance sever cost will be around $150-$200, But I found my second bill bill was around $1055. I was really shocked, and I contact them, and they said for the new system estimated sever cost will be around $350-$400. Also, they mentioned for a better performance server cost can be increased up to $1700. My product is not live, but still, I am paying for the sever cost for nothing. Please find my recent AWS bills below.
December: $237.61
January: $1055.37
February: $337.80
March: $355.7
Mongo Db: $307
Total: $2356.92
Verdict
Based on my experience I strongly NOT RECOMMEND APPSCRIP to anyone who is passionate about to start a new business or entrepreneurial life. Most of us chose clone scripts to reach to the market quick as possible at lower initial cost. If you choose Appscrip for your project, definitely you will fail on those two factors.
Lots of companies suggested to me NOT to choose clone script due to above factors. Also, they requested around 3-4 months to build the app from the scratch in flutter technology. I trusted Appscrip and I refused other companies, but at the end I learnt a good lesson from appscrip.
If your budget and time is limited, then I would strongly recommended go with flutter technology and make sure to find the good company and don't forget to read all the NEGATIVE comments and check the company’s response.
Thank you for your time and Good luck with your new project.

What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
Working with Rahul and the team has been a real blessing. Because of those guys attention to detail and flexibility I saw an idea I had come to life and was able to generate amazing returns on my investment. I’ve since had them develop 4 more apps for my company and it gets better each time. App scrip is who I go to for all my app needs.

Executive Interview
Rahul Sharma
CEO & Co-Founder, Appscrip
Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the company?
Appscrip evolved from years of experience making mobility solutions and being a tech solution provider for startups as 3Embed. We soon realized that there was no specialized provider who can act as a technology partner for startups that are working on on-demand, social, discovery, messaging and shopping platforms and that brought about the whole idea that is APPSCRIP today. We have identified the common denominator to help the end platform owners save time and money and allow them to focus on their core product. They can draw comfort from the fact that the underlying technology is already driving successful platforms around the world.
My company is Appscrip; I am the CEO & Co-founder of the company.
My company is Appscrip; I am the CEO & Co-founder of the company.
What was the idea behind starting this organization?
I have always been tinkering around with new ideas since my engineering days. I believed there was a lot of scope for quality software development services across the globe and strived to be the owner of a globally reputed brand that delivers such. Appscript was an answer to the question I asked myself in my early 20’s “How do I deliver quality technology solutions at low cost, requiring low technology/resource overheads from a development standpoint?”
What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
Building a trust factor with clients and managing a team to deliver solutions across the globe is always a challenge in this industry. Which is why I prefer to keep an in-house team(110+ members currently)
How is your business model beneficial from a value addition perspective to the clients compared to other companies' models?
Unlike your standard custom app or web development services, our business model revolves around creating robust business-ready technology solutions covering various industries and business niches that can be quickly tailored and deployed based on the client’s requirements.
This has definitely caught the attention of various enterprises and startups across the globe as:-
1) They get to test out a business-ready solution immediately as compared to having a development team make it from scratch and having to wait months to test out a working product.
2) These business-ready solutions need only minor customizations to be tailored to the client’s requirement. Hence, the clients are charged less for development and have their products deployed in the market much faster.

2) These business-ready solutions need only minor customizations to be tailored to the client’s requirement. Hence, the clients are charged less for development and have their products deployed in the market much faster.
What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?
Our products cover a variety of industries and business niches such as transportation, shipping & logistics, courier services, food & hyperlocal deliveries, healthcare, chat & social media, dating & matchmaking, property & real estate, e-commerce, service booking, childcare, etc, to name a few. Around 25% of our customers are repetitive.
Mention the objectives or the parameters critical in determining the time frame of developing a mobile app.
Critical factors/questions would include:-
- Does it align with our existing platforms or does it need to be custom built? Percentage of custom development?
- Complexity in terms of the tech ecosystem required. For example, consider developing an app for ride-hailing services requires various interlinked components such as a dispatcher, customer app, driver app, admin etc Vs building an app for social media use.
- No of members required from the in-house team and existing pipeline status.

- No of members required from the in-house team and existing pipeline status.
How much effort in terms of time goes into developing the front end and back end of a mobile app?
Again this would depend on the nature of the app or business model. Let’s take the example of an Uber-like taxi app vs an Instagram-like social media app.
An Uber-like app requires seamless interlinking of components from the customer to the driver, dispatcher, and admin. The ‘look’ of this app is secondary as compared to making a robust and scalable ecosystem for the business to run on. Hence, more effort(60%) goes into the backend.
An Instagram-like app is successful only if users find the UI seamless, engaging and insightful. Hence, more effort would go into the front end in this case.

What are the key parameters to be considered before selecting the right platform for a mobile application?
Key factors according to me would include:
- Budget
- Time
- Offline usage
- UI/UX needed (as certain animations are not available cross-platform)
- Whether the technology to be used is maintainable. Imagine having an app built on react native only to realize you don’t own any react native developers to maintain it in the long run.

- Offline usage
- UI/UX needed (as certain animations are not available cross-platform)
- Whether the technology to be used is maintainable. Imagine having an app built on react native only to realize you don’t own any react native developers to maintain it in the long run.
Which platform do you suggest your clients to begin with when they approach you with an idea (Android or iOS) and why?
In our case, we usually build both for the clients. However, if budgets are tight, I would provide recommendations based on experience. For example, The usage of Android as compared to iOS is stronger in India and the reverse in the USA. Although, there are more factors to consider as well such as industry, type of market, target audience, etc.
Android or iOS, Native or Hybrid — which platform is best to use to build your app? What are your recommendations?
Go native or react native if you can afford it. Otherwise, pick based on your business model, location and target audience.
What are the key factors that you consider before deciding the cost of a mobile application?
Similar to the time factor, the cost factor would depend on:
- App ecosystem complexity
- Resources required
- App ecosystem complexity
- Resources required
What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions, etc.)
Pay per milestone. Although we do take a nominal commitment, in the beginning, our deliverables at each stage comes with a working app. Thereby, maintaining the clients' trust at each stage.
Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?
We don’t go below $2000. However, for price-sensitive markets in Africa & Latin America, we offer unique pricing options such as white labelling, not providing the source code, app leasing, etc, to help entrepreneurs test out their ideas in their respective markets and focus more on the business without having to commit a large investment on technology development.
What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2018?
$2000 - $200,000 USD is the price range of the projects we catered in 2018.
Which business model do you suggest to your clients enabling them to generate revenue from mobile applications? Why?
This would depend on the nature of the application. For example, if it was a social media-based app, then you could work with in-app purchases, rewarded videos or ads, etc. If the app was providing a service, then you could work on a commission basis based on each successful transaction or booking.
