Celect Studios is not as advertised at all. Stay clear or lose all your money and work diligently to get your money back. Project is 8 months past deadline and no end in site. On our 3rd Developer. The the Developers tell you fake names. American names. But I got an invite from IOS platform for them to upload the “Competed Build” that NEVER HAPPENED but his name was Muhammad. Not Frank. I knew it was a lie after the first developer. But we were already paid in full. They always want more money and never produce results. They want you to sue. They will never honor their contracts. We lost over 30k and counting and they will NEVER EVER RESPOND. Legal is non existent. Once they get you the “Alpha Build” and solidify the last payment the company disappears. No more calls. No updates. No ZOOM CALLS. No Google Meets. Just missed deadlines and some text messages promising completion but NEVER anything in writing after you have made your payments. Finally, when you ask for what you’ve paid for “i.e Source Code”, they only send it AFTER you sign a contract to give up every single liability and deny all refunds. They are a SCAM. 1 star is 5 stars too much. They are going to rob you without a gun.DONT ever send a DOLLAR for hosting and maintenance. DONT do it.

A Nightmare Experience – Avoid at All Costs I had high hopes when I started working with Celect Studios, but my experience turned out to be nothing short of a nightmare. What was initially promised to be a 4-month project has now dragged on for two years, and we have absolutely nothing to show for it. From the very beginning, it was clear that this company has no regard for industry best practices in programming and the structural development of mobile applications. If you’re looking for a professional, reliable partner for mobile app development, this is not the company for you. Their work lacks quality, and the final product is far from functional or complete. Throughout the process, I went through four different project managers, none of whom had any idea what they were doing. Each time a new one was assigned, we had to start from scratch, and the confusion only grew. They all seemed to be passing the blame around while accomplishing nothing. But the worst part? The contracts. We had two broken contracts during this ordeal, and getting any response from their so-called legal department was like playing a cat and mouse game. The “legal department” wasn’t a department at all—it was just a wall of silence and evasion. When our “project manager” suggested we contact legal for a refund due to the contract breaches, our request was flat-out denied. They missed every single deadline, broke every promise, yet had no trouble taking our payments when it was time to move to the “next phase” of the project. At this point, I’ve even filed a complaint with the Texas Attorney General because I truly feel scammed. However, I’m not sure that will amount to much considering how this company has handled everything else. In short, I strongly advise against doing any kind of business with Celect Studios. They are all about getting you in the door and taking your money, and when you try to hold them accountable, they just ignore you or waste more of your time. There are far more professional and reliable companies out there who actually care about delivering quality results and customer satisfaction. Even a one-star review is way too generous at this point.

12 month update, contracted completion date 5-2024. Building my first app with Celect Studios was a learning curve, but it ended up being a rewarding experience. There were some delays and challenges early on, and I worked with three project managers during the process. Thankfully, the most recent project manager, has been fantastic, responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Our app just went live on the Apple App Store and exceeded my expectations in terms of design and functionality. The pricing seemed low compared to large near shore companies, and while there were some bumps along the way, the final product made it all worth it. Currently, they’re working on the Google Play version, and I’m excited to see it finished. Celect Studios does have the ability to deliver a great app.
