Publication statement
This RecordRight page sets out the evidence relating to the Astar Dance mobile application project, the later refund dispute, and public statements made about Sofia Grace Advertising / SGA Apps.
The record includes material that supports my position and material that is unfavourable to me.
I acknowledge that functionality issues remained during the amendment and testing period.
I also acknowledge that the agreed refund remains due.
My dispute is with the public characterisation that payment was taken without a product being produced, and with public descriptions of me or my businesses as a scam or con artist.
The evidence shows an app project beginning in September 2025, detailed app content supplied in November 2025, Apple approval for distribution on 20 November 2025, and a Google Play listing.
It also shows later requested changes, further testing issues, a refund dispute, and subsequent public allegations.
Public post / review evidence
Public comments, reviews, posts, search results or allegations that the page is responding to.
Public material retained in this record includes Trustpilot wording and Facebook posts/comments referring to Sofia Grace Advertising, SGA Apps, RecordRight and Showcase Your Business.
The public wording includes allegations such as no working app being provided, scam/con-artist descriptions, and statements encouraging others to avoid the business.
These are recorded as allegations or public comments, not as findings of fact.
Facebook material also includes a comment saying that a friend had been considering proceeding with me but that the information would stop that now.
A Star Dance and Fitness responded that this was great news and that it had stopped somebody else losing money.
Additional loss-of-business evidence added on 8 September 2026:
- A Messenger business chat with Blue Water Home and Garden Refresh dated 6 September at 20:12 records a prospective customer asking for the business name and phone number.
- After being sent the Showcase Your Business website link, the customer replied that the business was all over Facebook as a scam artist and said they would not be doing business with or using the service.
- When asked "From who?", the customer replied that this came from people who had taken the business to court trying to get money back, and repeated that they would not use the business.
- This is included as evidence that the public allegations were apparently affecting a purchasing decision.
It is not presented as proof that the allegations were true, and no specific monetary loss is claimed without separate proof of the transaction value.
Delivered work evidence
Proof of work, invoices, receipts, store listings, contracts, payment records or delivered materials.
29 September 2025:
- Project onboarding correspondence welcomed Georgina to the app project and provided project-status access.
- Georgina supplied the Astar Dance logo and confirmed the app colours as purple, black, grey and white.
5 November 2025:
- Georgina supplied detailed app information including timetable, terms and conditions, welcome pack, photographs, seating plan and uniform information.
- The correspondence also included pricing and requested private groups, chat, information areas and video functionality.
14 November 2025:
- Georgina supplied payment/API information for implementation.
- The credentials are redacted from the public copy because they are security-sensitive.
19-20 November 2025:
- Apple evidence identifies Astar Dance version 1.0 submitted on 19 November 2025.
- On 20 November 2025, App Store Connect stated that review was complete and the app was eligible for distribution.
- A separate Apple message states that Astar Dance had been approved for distribution.
24 November 2025:
- Google Play captures show Astar Dance under SGA Apps with an Install button, app screenshots and download/update information.
- This is evidence that an Android listing was publicly available.
- Store approval/listing is not presented as proof that every requested feature worked perfectly.
27 November 2025:
- Georgina sent an email headed "CHANGES".
- The requested amendments included recurring payments, trials, invitation-to-enrol functionality, currency changes, admin controls, chat, uniform purchasing, ticket booking, noticeboards/newsletters, student areas, parent information and child information.
- This is significant because it records substantial requested amendments/additions after the app had reached the app-store stage.
Continued engagement after the original issue
28 November to 5 December 2025:
- Messages record that changes had affected functionality and that I was working to fix and test the app.
- Georgina said on 29 November that she would postpone introducing it to customers until it was fully working with the discussed features.
- On 5 December, after a week without an update, I said I had been unwell and would carry out final testing.
6 December 2025:
- Georgina requested a full refund under the website refund policy.
- In a follow-up, she stated that the product shown to her was not ready, working or what she paid for and expected.
- I replied that the app had been built and was live on the stores, but that amendments and testing remained.
December 2025 to January 2026:
- Messages record that I agreed to the refund and referred to the processing period.
- They also show that payment did not arrive within the period Georgina expected.
- I acknowledge that the refund was delayed and do not present that delay as satisfactory.
Public posting and repayment pressure
Messages relevant to public posting, review activity, repayment discussions and reputational impact.
Later messages show Georgina stating that she would go public with reviews and evidence and that she would not let the matter go until paid in full.
I asked for a public post describing me as a con artist and showing personal details to be removed.
My own messages used the word "blackmail".
I do not present that word here as a legal finding.
It is included only to explain the pressure I personally experienced during the repayment dispute.
Further messages included statements that Georgina had returned to Trustpilot and would add a new review if required.
She alleged that I had failed to provide a service or product and had failed to refund the money under the refund policy.
I also confirmed in writing that the outstanding refund would be returned by the end of September.
This is included for transparency, because my position is not that no money is owed.
My position is that the refund issue is separate from the public allegation that no app or product was produced, or that the project was a scam.
Public posting and review activity still continued or remained in place despite that written confirmation.
This is why the record includes the later public statements and the evidence of apparent reputational impact.
The Blue Water Messenger screenshots are included in this section because they show an apparent commercial consequence of the public allegations: a prospective customer declined to proceed after seeing the Facebook material.
Key communications and quoted wording
Key quoted wording relied on in this record. This is not the full private transcript.
This section sets out the key quoted wording relied on in this record.
It is not a full private transcript.
The original screenshots, emails and documents are retained privately as supporting evidence.
Apple / App Store evidence, 20 November 2025:
- App Store Connect stated: "Review of your submission has been completed.
It is now eligible for distribution."
- A separate Apple message stated: "We're pleased to let you know that your app, Astar Dance, has been approved for distribution."
Google Play evidence, 24 November 2025:
- The Google Play listing showed Astar Dance under SGA Apps, with an Install button, app screenshots and download/update information.
Customer readiness and refund wording, 6 December 2025:
- Georgina stated that the product shown to her was not ready, working or what she paid for and expected.
- Georgina later alleged that I had failed to provide a service, failed to produce a product, and failed to refund the money under the 30 day refund policy.
My recorded position during the repayment dispute:
- I confirmed that I was not denying that money was owed.
- I stated that my point was that I had been portrayed as a scam artist even though the customer had received the product.
- I also confirmed in writing that the outstanding refund would be returned by the end of September.
Public posting / review wording:
- Georgina stated that, if she was still waiting at the end of September, she would keep sharing, adding reviews and finding any new business I had set up.
- The public posts and review activity are included because they are relevant to the reputational impact of the dispute.
Facebook commercial-impact wording:
- A Facebook commenter said that a friend had been considering proceeding with me but that the information would stop that now.
- The A Star Dance and Fitness account replied that this was great news and that it had stopped somebody else losing money.
Blue Water Home and Garden Refresh, 6 September:
- A prospective customer asked for my business name and phone number.
- After I sent the Showcase Your Business website link, the customer said they had seen Facebook claims describing the business as a scam artist and said they would not do business with or use the service.
- When I asked who the claims came from, the customer said they came from people who had taken me to court trying to get money back, and repeated that they would not use the business.
- This is included as evidence of apparent reputational impact, not as proof that the underlying allegations were true.
Claims and response
- Claim: no working app or no product was provided.
- Response: I accept there were functionality and readiness issues, but dispute that no app or product was produced.
The Apple approval, Google Play listing, supplied app content and later changes email are retained as context.
- Claim: the transaction was a scam or that I am a con artist.
- Response: I dispute allegations of dishonesty.
This page does not ask readers to accept my position without evidence; it shows the underlying chronology alongside my acknowledgement of the refund and functionality issues.
- Claim: the refund was not made within the expected period.
- Response: I acknowledge the refund delay and do not characterise that delay as satisfactory.
- Claim: public posting was justified because money remained outstanding.
- Response: The outstanding refund is acknowledged.
The issue for this record is whether serious public allegations of dishonesty were fair and complete when app-store evidence and post-publication change requests existed.

Purpose of publication
The purpose of publication is to place the chronology and supporting evidence in the public record so that the dispute is not represented only by labels such as scam or con artist.
This page is not a court judgment or legal opinion.
It is a factual right-of-reply record.
Store approval is evidence that an app reached the relevant distribution stage; it is not presented as proof that every contractual feature worked perfectly.
