Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

MadAppGang is a legitimate, verified software development agency with a strong reputation on platforms like Clutch (5.0 rating). However, the project submission itself is of low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), confusing metrics ('all time marketcap' likely mistaken for revenue), and vague audience definitions. While the underlying business is stable and technically competent (using Go, Kubernetes, Swift), the submission fails to accurately reflect its scale or reach. The score reflects the solid real-world foundation of the agency, penalized significantly for the poor quality and inaccuracies of the data provided.

Description
MadAppGang is a team of tech experts specializing in mobile technologies. We develop applications for iOS, Android, WatchOS, MacOS, tvOS, Android Wear, wearables, and provide IoT system integration services. Our experience with mobile apps, artificial intelligence and embedded systems provides a uniquely powerful resource for our clients. We work with established businesses and startups who are seeking to innovate and improve customer experience. Over the past few years we've built solutions for fintech, healthcare, fitness, transportation, and communication industries. We speak the language of both software and hardware (and we can still talk to real people). We're well-versed in security, real time systems, and machine learning. But what's even more important, we can explain a compression algorithm to a child. We replace time-worn tools and methods with new technologies and innovative processes. We choose technologies and tools that make our development process fast, help us create better apps, and can be easily supported after the product is launched. Our core tech stack includes Swift, Kotlin, Golang and React – something that was invented less than a decade ago. We love mobile because it's powerful, useful and it's in everybody's pocket. Though the real reason is – we have fun building stuff for mobile. We've been at this for almost five years. And we're still excited to move tasks to a current sprint's board.
