Technology is here to make things easier!
Why Mobile App Development?
- Sales Growth
Millions of people buy online, which makes the internet a great potential source of income for your business.
- Expanded Audience
As people, we shifted our attention to mobile, as we use phones nowadays on a daily basis. Your audience is probably looking at their phones even now.
- Business Optimization
Track and organize your business to the smallest details. By optimizing and automating your flow, you can uncover and improve many great sales opportunities.
- Improved Customer Loyalty
You have your clients on your fingertips, which opens up many possibilities to engage them more, and keep them close to your brand.
- Another Marketing Channel
Reaching new customers online is a bit different from doing it the traditional way. It is more accurate, cheaper, and easier to measure, which makes it ultimately more efficient.
- Competitive Advantage
Leave your competition behind by uncovering new areas of sales, building new audiences, and delighting your customers with a truly outstanding online experience.
What are the Modern Mobile Development Solutions?
Each and every technology is working hard to deliver more with less effort.
Here are the top of the modern mobile technologies on the market, that enables you to build an efficient business.
Cross-platform Apps
Cross-platform apps are the ones built-in web languages (like JavaScript) that can be later pulled (f.e. through React Native) as native apps able to work on any operating system and device.
The pros of cross-platform apps:
- Cross-platform apps work everywhere - you don’t have to develop two apps (one Android, and one iOS). Instead, you can use one developer (for example React Native) that will build an app ready to be working on both, Android and iOS, and more than that, on every device.
- Cross-platform apps are better price-wise - first, you don’t have to hire two different developers for iOS, and Android apps. You have them working on one codebase. More than that, the popularity of web languages is constantly growing, which means it is easier to get a cross-platform developer, it’s easier to fix the code quickly, and you have many “ready-to-go” solutions that you can use in your own projects.
- Cross-platform have a better time to market - building a native app is extremely time-consuming (at least in comparison to cross-platform apps), and by the time you make your native app work, you could be already visible in the market with your MVP and getting the first users, or at least real-life feedback from them.
- Cross-platform reach more people - With cross-platform development, you are able to reach all operating systems users with one app only!

Progressive Web Apps
Progressive Web App is a kind of combination between native app and web app. It’s an app that works in the browser, yet behaves like a truly native app. This truly outstanding nature makes your life a lot easier, as PWA do not require any installation, nor additional effort in order to be used.
The pros of Progressive Web Apps:
- Works on any device - all you need to run it is a browser - no matter which is that. PWAs also work for any kind of screen size, and device.
- Easy to build and maintain - people having web and mobile app built separately had to spend twice as much on development, and they still have to pay twice as much for the maintenance. PWA is different. “Once built - works everywhere” we say. You need only one codebase that will work on any device, any operating system, anywhere.
- Do not require any installation - all you need to run an app is a browser.
- Work offline as well - using a web app that is available online only can be frustrating when it becomes crowded. PWA can be downloaded and can easily work offline, so you don’t have to worry about the speed and a general user experience.
- App experience - although it is not a “Technically” app, it behaves like one, and in many cases, people cannot even tell the difference.
- Easily accessible and visible - they are getting well indexed by search engines.
- Always up to date - PWAs are getting updated automatically while refreshed. No manual, or any other updates needed.

What is the Mobile App Delivery Workflow?
Paraphrasing famous de Saint-Exupery words:
“An app without a plan is just a wish”.
And there is no better place to try it, than the world of software development. This is why we have carefully crafted each and every step of the delivery process, to make the most out of your idea, and make our cooperation smooth and clear. We love to make ideas happen, and this is why we use this somehow ruthless and restless to-do list that will keep us away from wishes, and get to the actual things done.
We are entitled for great accuracy. And this is the big chunk of our secret.
Step 1 Discover & Define
We are techies, but we are business people as well. Technology is our native language, but after many years of experiences gathered on the web and mobile field, we speak business fluently. But most of all we have learned that the idea without being investigated based on the market need, will not make it far from the start. The discovery phase is the moment when we help you find the “gold mine” of your mobile app idea.
Market/Competitive research
Sad numbers are 42 percent of small business failures are reported due to no market need. In other words, you just need a solid preparation in order to raise your chances of success dramatically. And market and competitive research is the first step.
Validating business/monetization models
Since you already know your value, your audience, and your place on the market, it’s time to decide on how are you going to get paid. There are many ways to sell your mobile app, and they are all dependent on your business goals, plans, and your audience habits.
Deciding the technology stack
When the plan is there, it’s time to choose a heart for your mobile app.
Generally, there are a number of different technological options you could go for when it comes to app development:
- Platform-specific native-apps - These apps are coded for either iOS or Android.
- Cross-platform native apps - Mentioned already before, apps use Shared Development Kits, but can still run natively.
- Hybrid apps - a hybrid app is compatible with both iOS and Android. With this approach, you don’t need to write different codebases for each platform.
Building scalability roadmap
Tell us about your most ambitious plans, and we will help you find the road. Making an app is rarely the end of the project. What should be next? How are you going to grow your business from that point? What’s your biggest dream? Let’s make it happen!
Step 2 Mobile App UX & UI Design
Mapping/Creating user journeys
User experience can make or break your business performance.
This is why you should be guiding your users, so they will never feel any confusion.
Mapping the right users journeys will help you:
- Deliver your value in the best way possible
- Increase the users experience
- Guide users to the point you want them to be
- Sell more
Wireframing & prototyping
We will create an interactive prototype that looks and works exactly like your app should.
This is the first step to watch your idea working in the real world.
It is always full of excitement and many new insights.
Creating graphical/branding elements
It’s time to bring some colors and switch sketches into real pages.
We will keep your pages in one design tone, as it is crucial for your brand recognition.
Cool design and some dynamic interface can also be one of your value propositions that will make your app many fans.
Setting usability tests/metrics
Our UX experts love to test to uncover improvements and opportunities in designs.
In this phase we are already working closer with your potential users and clients.
Usability testing is also a great technique to learn more about the habits of your favorite audience.
Step 3 Development Sprints
Mapping/Creating user journeys
Meet a team of developers that will be dedicated and assigned only to your application.
Together with you, we will then set up development sprints that will cover a following development phases:
- Building the framework/core logic
- Powerful & flexible backend
- Setting up the databases
- Ensuring enterprise-grade security
Step 4 Release & Support
Your app is ready to go on an adventure in the real world!
But first, we will go over guidelines made by Android and Apple to make sure your app is well listed, seen by users, and ready to be promoted.
Curious on how your app may look?
What we care the most in your app?
- User Experience
We want your app to attract and convert users to clients by providing them with an outstanding user experience.
- Client engagement

Mobile Development FAQ
Tough questions never had easy answers, but we will give it a try.
Just be aware that every app is different, and what you find in those answers may not reflect your situation.
This is why we always encourage speaking face to face, to approach your app with a tailor made solution.
How much does it cost to build an app?
The price is always a fragile subject, but it shouldn’t be.
It is dependent on many factors, but mostly on the level of complexity.
Prices may vary from £20K+ for a medium complex app, and around £80K+ for a complex one.
How long does it take to build an app?
Here’s another common question that has its answer in complexity.
Considering two levels, a medium level complex app can take you around 3+months, whether more complex ones can take more than years.
Just be aware that some extremely ambitious projects can take you years before they will be finally accepted by the users.
What skills are needed for mobile app developers?
We believe in two kinds of knowledge.
One you acquire by learning - books, courses, workshops, etc.
And the one you can only acquire by the constant practice - mastery, interaction, self-confidence, etc.
It’s obvious that developers should be great technology-wise, and have great programming knowledge.
Yet we recommend seeking also skills that make them great companions and friends, as this is more important and crucial in clear and smooth cooperation.
How to choose a mobile app development company?
It depends on what kind of commitment level you expect from this cooperation.
If you have everything you need, except the code, find experts in the technology you want to use.
If you search for a real partner, you should choose someone who is able to take over your duties while you are dealing with other important stuff.
Also, you need to feel good while working together.
The critical moments are always hard to get through, so it’s smart to make it as painless as possible.

Why React Native is a great choice to build a mobile business?
- Development speed (cost) – what developers love about React is that they’re able to reuse and recycle components developed before by them and wide React Native ecosystem. They can also share their codebase and make them work faster.
- Works everywhere – Once you learn React Native, you can build apps for iOS, Android, and Windows.
- User Experience – as long as you are not using extremely complicated designs and interactions, or you are not making a heavy game, you are still able to build high-performance apps with an absolutely great user experience.
- Faster time to market – you can arrive on the market much faster to test your MVP, get feedback and adapt changes accordingly without a need for a big investment.
- Help on demand – React Native community is massive. Many problems that you may face during development, may already be fixed somewhere out there.
- Maintenance cost – you only deal with one codebase, and it’s way much easier to hire a React Native developer that to hire any other mobile developer on the market.
- React Native mobile apps are visible – it’s easy to get your apps listed in AppStore and Play Store.
And there are many more development advantages, if you want to learn them all.
React Native Development FAQ
As we mentioned in the similar section above, mobile development comes with many questions that doesn’t have the finite answers.
All of them have one thing in common. All of them starts from “it depends”.
How much does it cost to develop a React Native App?
The cost of creating a React Native app is dependent on the complexity of the application.
However, this time you save the costs on the following things you acquire:- one codebase for both iOS and Android,
- one codebase for all devices (desktop, mobile, tablet, etc.)
Also, in general, React Native developers are cheaper and more accessible than native app developers.
How long does it take to build a React Native App?
Again, complexity is the main factor here.
The previous point is highly connected to this one, as the time needed to develop an app is shrunken thanks to:- one codebase for both Android and iOS,
- one codebase for all devices,
- reusability of the code can dramatically save your development time;
More than that - a great amount of dedicated contributors will help you fix tons of problems way faster than any other mobile development environment.

Is it possible to migrate from a native app to React Native?
Here the answer is also not so easy, and again, “it depends”.
There are still some native functionalities that are not supported by React Native, and not everything is as possible as on native platforms.
Especially when it comes to animations. If your app is focused on untypical animations and graphical needs you may have problems getting a 1:1 result in React Native.
Yet, for most cases that doesn't require such complexity, it is possible, and even recommended.
