Project Summary

Hobbido Inc., an online marketplace for freelancers, hired Mobulous to build native iOS and Android apps, a WordPress static website, an API/back-end, and an admin panel. The client reports the vendor missed timelines and delivered buggy, poorly coordinated work with roughly 40% functionality. The engagement began in January 2021 and stalled, prompting the client to stop further work after significant payments.

Key Challenges

Develop Mobile apps for iOS/Android
Develop a Static website with WordPress
Develop API and Backend
Develop an Admin Panel
Vendor failed to meet timelines and deliver quality, coordinated code

Project Deliverables

Android mobile app

Project Solution

Mobulous was contracted to develop separate native iOS and Android mobile apps, create a static WordPress website, implement backend APIs, and build an admin panel. The vendor presented an initial proposal and started development in Jan. 2021; however, the apps were developed as separate codebases with poor coordination, the website used templates/graphics, the API and admin panel were not mobile-friendly, and standard documentation was not provided.

Project Outcome

Project stalled for more than one year and a half versus an original 4-month plan
Delivered buggy code with approximately 40% functionality
Client halted the project after paying nearly 85% of the contract
Poor communication and unresponsive management
