To develop from concept stage a fully functional App that was modified and enhanced several times during creation. Delivered on set timelines but with flexibility to enhance during production.

In all forms of communication there was extreme professionalism. We have met face to face with the whole team as well as online calls and of course email. The team actually became and still are an important part of our project and they treat it as if it's there own. This personal connection makes a huge difference on delivering a world class product.

Well we are still working together because they deliver what the say and when they say it. They've done an excellent job overall.

Their team delivered all items on time and consistently responded quickly and helpfully to our needs throughout the project.

What impressed me most about the company was their strong project management, clear communication, and ability to deliver high-quality outputs on time while consistently adapting to our needs.

Overall, the experience was very good, but one area for improvement would be to provide even more proactive updates or early visibility on potential technical issues, so challenges can be anticipated and resolved even faster.

Although I manage most of the technical aspects at the company, mobile development isn't my specialty, so I reached out to Jhom from JLabs to assist with creating a prototype and developing the mobile app.

We began with a prototype, and JLabs took charge of the app’s development. Guided by our founder’s vision, we provided the team with the basic requirements and desired features. About two months later, the development team began actively building the app, incorporating upgrades and adjustments to the features we had initially outlined.The primary goal was to create an app that would be user-friendly, especially for older users, with clear and intuitive navigation.Functionally, the app shares some similarities with FamilySearch. Users can browse their contact list to invite family and friends into the app. From there, they can create their own family tree and visualize familial connections—including those involving blended families. The app allows users to customize which relationships are displayed through a toggle feature.Additional features include the ability to create family groups, a built-in calendar and notes section, and integration with the device's gallery, allowing users to view and organize family-related media easily.

My primary point of contact was Jhom, the CEO of JLabs. I also collaborated closely with their CTO and the lead developer on our project, John.

I discovered JLabs online while exploring development partners. I had been in contact with another company, but they lacked the flexibility we needed. When I reached out to JLabs, they were responsive and able to meet our specific requirements.

We’ve invested approximately $22,000 in the prototype and the initial version of the app.

The app is currently available on both iOS and Android, though it remains unlisted as we continue refining it and adding new features. We're currently inviting select users to test the app and provide feedback to help guide future improvements before launching it to a wider audience.

I liked how fast they were in terms of addressing the bugs and issues that needed attention. They would tell me in advance if they had a holiday, since there are many in the Philippines, or when one of their developers was leaving their company. We paused for them to find another resource to help with this project, and I was very much open to that.

JLabs met deadlines and stayed on budget. They communicated well and told me in advance if they would be off. We used Figma to see the designs and Google Sheets to document all the bugs and errors we encountered. We also used Google Meet and Slack to communicate. We reached out to JLabs' point of contact when we needed something. I had other members of my team check deliverables and, once I had feedback, I communicated it to JLabs.

We built a good rapport with John, JLabs' owner. I used a lot of jargon when communicating our requirements, and he helped me put what I wanted them to do into words and helped his teammates complete those tasks. I appreciated that they understood the terms I used. The engagement was smooth.

So far, I don’t have any major criticisms. Occasionally, minor bugs or errors would come up during our testing, but the team was always professional and prompt in addressing them. Their responsiveness and attention to detail have been appreciated throughout the process.

Be clear about your expectations from the very first meeting. Communicate your needs openly and honestly, and try to keep your expectations realistic. JLabs is very accommodating, approachable, and willing to adjust to your requests—but it's important to express what you need rather than assume they'll know. Open and ongoing communication is key to a successful partnership.

Delivery was usually on schedule. There were some small delays that were outside their control. They were fast to rectify the situation, and they were very accommodating to our needs.

JLabs willingness to exceed expectations, to put in the extra work required to make the product exactly what we asked for. Great leadership and team dynamic. A lot of goodwill in our working partnership.

Extensive user testing takes time but would definitely assist the process.

We engaged JLabs to work on the Super Pawfile. This Pawfile is essential for Pet Owners to be able to digitize their pet records. JLabs not only developed the module but also provided significant and brilliant inputs resulting to an amazing Pawfile module that Pet Owners can utilize. JLabs is also super knowledgeable with E-commerce, which is very important because Mommyki has a built in Marketplace for all pet needs.

The reliability of the Pawfile. The interface which is very attractive to Pet Owners.

Yes, everything was done timely. There are some missed deadlines but that is only because of the unforeseen issues arising from the work of the previous developers. But once the development is done, it is better and effective.

They were very open to discussions. They provide great insights that leads to "aha" moments. Super knowledgeable about their craft!

None, everything is in order. Matter of fact, we are already talking about phase 2 development.
