The mobile applications market is showing dynamic growth – this trend is relevant both for us and for foreign countries. A significant segment is occupied by games, however, business devices are not lagging behind and show positive dynamics. In the next two or three years, it will be possible to say with confidence that each company will be represented on the Internet not only by a website, but will also acquire its own mobile application – all for the sake of traffic and profit. If you do not want to miss the moment and be among the first in the business race, then plan the development of the app. And go for it!
What you need?
Already today, when contacting an application developer company, you are faced with a variety of opportunities. A team of professionals will offer you not only to develop a custom app with a set of unique functions, but also to choose a methodology for managing the creation.
The traditional cascade approach is replaced by the energy-intensive and cost-effective SCRUM. When choosing a developer, focus on expertise, portfolio and work experience in your specifics, the presence of project managers and a QA team with a technopark (application testing takes most of the development time), as well as legally formalized agreements – the latter will guarantee your safety.
After a short excursion into the team, let’s talk about the classification of applications:
Native – written in programming languages targeting only a specific Android or iOS platform. This allows them to be quickly installed and easy to operate, fully interact with the technical capabilities of the gadget and not depend on the Internet connection. Building a native app comes at a high cost and is therefore considered a forward-looking strategic step;
Cross-platform – an application that is created for several mobile platforms at once. Cross-platform development tools do not use HTML5, but third-party programming languages, the code of which is compiled into a native application for each platform. Cross-platform development is suitable for non-custom projects, and can be efficient and less resource intensive.
