Project Summary

Appinventiv developed a React Native iOS and Android social networking application with a MongoDB backend. The initial delivery suffered from miscommunication and a lack of architecture, which led the client to end the partnership; the vendor later acknowledged issues and the client reported the company assigned more experienced resources afterward.

Key Challenges

Build a mobile social networking application for iOS and Android based on internal requirements
Ensure proper architecture and database design before and during development
Maintain responsive communication and professional project management

Project Solution

Appinventiv built a social networking mobile application for iOS and Android using a React Native frontend. For the backend they used PHP and MongoDB. The engagement involved a project manager and one developer and began in August 2018; the client engaged the vendor via Upwork and paid a $2,000 deposit.

Project Outcome

Demo was non-functional during in-house tests and the team produced unstable code
Client ended the partnership a few months after starting and requested a refund but did not receive the code or refund
Vendor apologized and offered to change the development team but the client observed limited follow-through

Quality of Deliverables

“The initial project suffered from miscommunication over the knowledge transfer phase, and the team started coding without an architecture in place. Appinventiv has since rectified the situation, assigning more experienced senior resources and better conveying the dev process to manage expectations.”
