"They provide very quick and accurate responses to every question. They seek solutions to all kinds of real industry problems. First of all, I would like to thank Rajeev for his effort and collaboration from our initial meeting to the platform development stage. We were in search of a white label OTT platform for our brand. In this research, Flicknexs, whom we encountered, provided us with everything we needed to know right from the beginning of the process. Everything went smoothly for us in all stages. Collaboration and platform methods are very consistent"

"We've been working with Flicknexs, and I've got to say, they're really good. Their platform has heaps of features (150 or so, they reckon), and it's awesome for streaming – works a treat on any gadget you've got. Big shoutout to Rajeev from their end. Top bloke. He's given us some solid advice and even sorted us out with a coder to help in the first month. Champion effort. Early days yet, but I reckon we're on to a winner with Flicknexs. If you're looking to stream your stuff and want the real deal, give 'em a bell. Top-notch."

"Phase 1 of our release has been seamless. From initial enquiry with Rajeev through to hand-holding all the way from Manoj and his support team. In less than two months we have developed and published on Android , Ios and Amazon Fire , with Android TV publishing imminent. We are now moving onto Phase 2, adding Samsung, Roku and LG into the mix. We already run a successful OTT platform on another service; and Flicknexs has so far proved to be a good alternative"
