Be warned of doing business with this guy. Before telling you why I rated him so low, I'll tell you how you should do business with him should you still choose to. First, I'm a marketing consultant and I used Art a couple years ago to build an APP for one of my clients and it turned out fine. No real issues. But this most recent time, it ended up similar to Roxanne's (who also left a 1 star rating) experience. So, if you choose to do business with him, this is how you should do it. Actually this is how I would usually do business with vendors but because I had a positive experience with him the first time, and we became "friends," I let my guard down. First, have a signed contract with deliverables and timelines. Second, DO NOT pay him his entire fee before he finishes the project. Otherwise you have zero leverage for him to complete the project as desired. Pay him a portion up front to get started (no more than half). Then pay the last portion when he delivers to your satisfaction. Sometimes I'll pay a third up front, the second third after completion of the first portion of the project as agreed upon and then the last third upon completion. So, what happened to me this time was that back in April 2019, I engaged Art to build an APP for one of my clients. Paid him half up front and he created a mock up to show my client. Everything seemed fine. In the first of May I sent him the edits that my client and I had and he said he needed the rest of the money to publish on iTunes and Google Play. I wasn't comfortable with that but he said he needed the extra money for the fees that iTunes and Google Play had. So we agreed upon a lesser amount that was only about $300 short of his entire fee. Looking back, I should not have paid him even that much. One month, two months and three months went by and many excuses of why the APP was not published. He said it was one technical issue after another. I told him, I'm tired of waiting and so is my client. So, I suggested we discontinue and asked for a refund. He refused of course. The beginning of July the APP was finally publised on iTunes and Google Play but it still needed to put in my clients content. At this point it was just a mock up and was not useful. Days and weeks went by with no changes. He continued to say, "I'll get it done tonight" "I'll get it done this weekend. (all conversations are on text) Then he said he was having legal issues with his ex-wife. Well, August was approaching and I'm finally fed up, so I tell him if things aren't fixed by the end of the week, then the deal is done and I want a full refund. No response. So between the first of April and first of August, no finished product delivered. 5 months! Way too long for this simple APP which was going to be primarily made up of webpage feeds from the website. The website was built for the same client in 3 months. By another vendor (Standout Marketing) who I've used for most of my clients who has been highly reliable and does great work! He does great graphics, websites, and video work. So after receiving no response from my last demand, I go on his Facebook page and I see that he left for the Phillipines with a friend to go see his new girlfriend. (he didn't seemed too stressed about his ex-wife) I asked for a full refund with no response. Now considering my options. Of course as the other reviewer, Roxy, says, he doesn't have a listed, real address. It's just a mailbox. But I know I can get his home address pretty easy. It's just a matter of how bad I want to pursue this. The sad thing is I thought we were friends but he has not made any attempt to make this right. I would normally walk away from something like this and chalk it up to a lesson learned but seeing that he did a similar thing to someone else, made me think I should warn people of how to do business with him if they still choose to. So go in with eyes wide open when dealing with Art. read more

This guy Art Rios is a big scam artist. He will set up your domain something you can do on your own. Then he claims he is paying apple for your app and demands $700. After paid he disappears. My domain was set up on automatic renewal under his credit card. We have not spoke since he ran off. Go daddy renewed and we saw our site was cancelled. He called go daddy and got our website removed over $15, after stealing $700 from us a year ago. Now that I have all of his info I am taking him to small claims court for both of my businesses he scammed. We are sure that we are not the only ones who were scammed by this guy. Do not trust him. He will take your money and run and hide! read more

I will continue to warn people about this shady business. Do not trust him! Those yelp reviews he had from 2 years ago he told them to do that for a discount as you can see they all pretty much said the same thing. I just got an email from someone else he scammed and lied too. Art Rios will sit you down claim he can do an app and website something you can easily do yourself for under $100 and charge you $700 for and not get it completed then ignore your calls until you give up trying to find him. He doesn't have an office which should be the first warning. He always wants to meet in public or at your restaurant or house. It may seem convenient but it's only so you won't know where to find him when he runs off with your money. If you have been scammed by Art leave a yelp review because in time people will search and see not to do business with him. read more

I have been manufacturing women's sportswear for over 8 years in Huntington Park selling my items at Swap meets, Street fairs, Gyms and at my store Albina's Signature Sportswear. I knew nothing about online, social media or branding until LA Live Apps came into the picture. There's a lot I didn't know and still don't but they guys take care of it for me and the number don't lie. I can see how many new clients we reach every day, week or month and have a new distributors signing up weekly. Everybody has smart phones and my clients take me with them reordering on the go from my app. read more
