Naked Development

We paid $117,000 to Naked Development for a consumer app and marketing funnel. They missed every deadline, never staffed the contracted team, and delivered a codebase that would not build on iOS or Android. We had to hire a second firm just to assess the damage before remediation could begin. The marketing video was unusable by the time the app finally launched, as cultural references had gone stale during the delay. When we raised breach concerns, founder John Driscoll responded with legal intimidation rather than accountability. We issued a formal written Notice of Breach itemizing five specific failures. His response was a three sentence email. We are software engineers who have led teams of over 100. These were not minor issues. They were basic, objective engineering failures. We are aware of more than a dozen other former clients who experienced similar issues.

My experience with Naked Development was extremely disappointing and had a significant financial impact on my business. I hired them in 2022 to build a new version of my mobile app, paying over $200,000 upfront based on their assurances, timeline, and polished reputation. Despite nearly a year of delays and constant “almost done” updates, no functional product was delivered. Multiple independent developers—and later a neutral third-party auditor—confirmed the code was non-functional, unstable, and would require a complete rebuild. After failed attempts to resolve this privately, I filed a lawsuit (Superhuman Inc. vs. Naked Development), which is now a matter of public record. This situation has cost my company more than $500,000 in total impact and almost a year of lost momentum. I would strongly encourage founders to require milestone-based payments and independent technical reviews before engaging any agency.

I really recommend them to anyone, fantastic team, a job well-done from them, kudos to you guys and keep the good job, i will as well refer to others
