Web Design Review from Yiannis Kaznessis
Our website was established and redesigned by Brightlab, and it receives a lot of traffic. Our interaction with Brightlab team was exceptional. They were dependable, communicative, and responsive. They were really easy to work with and quickly grasped what I was striving for. Additionally, there weren't many mistakes to fix after development. Incredibly capable and productive team!

AI Development Review from Citlali Gold
I wanted to say a big Thank You to Markovate. They have shown proficiency, dedication and commitment, that is far exceeded our expectations. We are incredibly grateful to find them and look forward to continuing to work together in future.

Blockchain Review from noble morgan
Markovate are passionate about building products for startups helping to shape ideas into reality. They have been more than a developer, a true partner to us, even supporting with fundraising. Equally, they built with minimal reliance, considering easy adoption by our developers when selecting a tech stack.

The App Founders Reviews & Testimonials
Walter White's Review Sourced from Google
Initially, The App Founders showcased a pro-found grasp of blockchain technology and its practical applications. They adeptly elucidated intricate concepts in a manner that resonated with my non-technical background, facilitating smoother communication and active involvement in developmental discussions.
Dustin Wheeler's Review Sourced from Google
it was such a pleasure working with App Founders and just how easy and professional they were. I quickly realized how the industry is full of thirsty, needy bots and scammers I’m trying to get your attention, but tons of unsolicited phone calls and texts. Dealing with these guys was a breath of fresh and definitely showed up in value above all the rest.
Munna Alam's Review Sourced from Google
Got to say, The App Founders really impressed me! They totally nailed the design for my mobile game. Can't wait to team up with them again to make and promote the game. Definitely recommending them to anyone looking for top-notch game development services!

Flexsin Reviews & Testimonials
1 2's Review Sourced from Google
We hired flexsin technologies to build software for us in July 2022. They agreed to sign NDAs and all relevant paperwork. They prepared the NDA as they preferred it and sent it to us for review and signature. We reviewed the NDA and changed the Jurisdiction to UK and sent it back to them for a signature which they delayed in signing up to date. After they reviewed everything, they gave us an estimation of USD 17,000. They sent us a contract with upper price cap stating that any extra activities and costs incurred above the agreed upper price cap will be their responsibility and we as the client will have to pay nothing extra. They estimated the project will take 12-14 weeks. They started the project and assured us the NDA and Contract is getting sorted and they will send it over as soon as. Long story short flexsin Technology never honoured the contract and the price cap as the price started increasing past the price cap. It is now been 8 months since they started the project and they have not signed the NDA nor the Contract as agreed. We noticed they misspelt the names on the NDA and Contract. We asked them to rectify the spelling mistakes and they have refused asking us to Change the NDA that they wrote themselves to meet their interests. They are asking us to include on the NDA that UPwork will resolve disputes in relation to incorrect spellings on the paperwork and the NDA as if they are planning to make more mistakes. Up work is just a platform that brings developers and clients together, UPwork does not resolve spelling mistakes and unsigned paperwork. UPwork is NOT developing our software for us, we did NOT share the software information with UPwork, we shared information with Flexsins Technologies and above all Up work did NOT misspell or fail to sign the NDA or Contract, that was Flexsins Technologies mistakes to fix and NOT UPwork mistakes to fix. They are now asking to write another contract for more money probably with another price cap just to lure. They have agreed to send the assets back to us immediately. Updates of this review to follow on here, twitter, LinkedIn, IG, TikTok, and any other platform.
Liam Durbin's Review Sourced from Google
I have had a great experience with Flexsin. My small business is a bit of a niche (horse racing) but the team at Flexsin worked very hard to understand the nuances. Very impressive breadth of skills on the team. The support work they do for my small business on a monthly retainer has been good, as has their project work on a mobile app.
Dave Reynolds's Review Sourced from Google
I've been with Flexsin for 3 years now, and it's a great place to work. Talented technical staff and good management. After years of providing IT staffing solutions for US based companies with local personnel, I'm now able to save our clients a LOT of money by using the resources of our talented team of resources at our offshore development center instead.
