A History of Manipulative and Deceptive Business Practices
I am a software engineer in Los Angeles, California. App Innovators of Tallahassee Florida outsourced a project to my team in 2015-2016. Once the project was completed, Dustin Rivest, the owner of App Innovators, told me in an email I would receive payment within 90 days. Three months passed and I had not received payment.
I began leaving messages with App Innovators but was ignored for four more months.
After 7 months, I began filing a civil suit againsts Dustin Rivest and App Innovators. When D. Rivest was informed a lawsuit was being filed against him, his assistant reached out to me and said they would pay me ONLY IF I sent a notorized letter agreeing not to share my experience working with them via online reviews. I believe they quickly realized this was ILLEGAL and my check was overnighted to me the following day.
Doing business with App Innovators was the worst decision I have made for my business to date. Save yourself the legal trouble and find a reputable website/app service. Orlando and Miami are better options in Florida. California, New York, and Washington state tend to have the best app developers in the US for the best prices. In my opinion, having done business with App Innovators, this is just a group of small town scammers.
