> I've seen dev agencies try to conclude engagements with a "successfully working app" but havent delivered any source code, or when source code is delivered it cannot actually be compiled into the successfully working app.

The recliner I bought 2 years ago has an iOS app that basically works, but has many flaws. It's clear the company does not have the source code. The developer, in the app store, has a name with Chinese characters and the company is based in the US. It was right after the pandemic, that I bought it, and complained to their support. I was still in the window of returning it for a full refund, so they told me "we'll get right on that" and fix the problem I reports. Almost 2 years later and not a single update to the app.

EDIT: company is Human Touch, chair is the Gravis ZG.

EDIT2: sorry, it was the Copyright message that was in Chinese. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gravis-chair/id1435036207

I had one of their recliners. The leather got pretty bad. Now I have the Altwork station though I no longer work 27/7.
