In this fast-moving world, mobile apps trend has grown significantly over the past couple of years. Every new online business is looking to reach out to new customers and existing customers with the help of mobile apps. Be it booking a hotel online, ordering food online, reserving flight tickets online and many more, mobile apps have reduced headache to a certain extent for customers.
Since there is high growth in mobile apps, the number of app development companies has also risen. As per the Statista report as of 1st quarter 2019, we have around 2.1 million apps available in the Google Play Store and whereas 1.8 million apps in the Apple app store. But it’s not like that all these apps are famous worldwide. For developing any successful mobile app, there are a lot of factors which are involved. So in this post, I will be going to discuss the factors to look out before choosing iOS App Development Company.
#1 Well Expertise
You can easily search for agencies over the globe with affordable rates or fixed price model but what you must need to consider is how much expertise that agency is having. You can always look out for their app portfolio & based on that you can judge the quality of the app created in the past. You can even download the apps and check its usability as it will give you more clarity on app developer expertise.
#2 Process
To develop any successful mobile app, every app developer has to follow a series of steps. If steps are not followed, automatically it will lead to a big failure. Below are the steps which are followed by expert app development companies
a.) Designing & developing UI.
b.) Implementing coding
c.) Proper testing
d.) Obtain certification
e.) Deploying
#3 Effective design skills
Most of the successful mobile apps have attractive design layout. So it becomes crucial that app developer should possess expert design skills so that he/she can create appealing UI. You can check app developer skills by asking him/her first for mockup design. If designer raises up to your expectations, it means that he/she possess excellent design skills.
#4 Cost and Timeframe
Cost and timeframe play an important role in choosing an iPhone app development company. You can always ask for the budget estimation and time required to complete the project in prior. If it fits within your constraints, then you look out for that particular company.
#5 Flexibility
Flexibility determines the key quality of any iOS and Android app development company. It will be tough to cop with the agencies who don’t offer flexibility in terms of communication. You can again here ask in prior how you will be going to receive updates on your project, will it be on a daily/weekly/monthly basis, who will be the main point of contact and many more.
#6 Expertise with Coding Skills
Developing a high revenue generating mobile require neat & clean coding. If the app developer is not having proper command over the coding, he will not be able to create an app. You can always check in prior by asking app developer with a piece of code or else can ask a few interview questions.
#7 Look for Reviews & Testimonials
I would not cover this factor on high priority as sometimes you can see some fakes reviews or testimonials. But still, it is one of the factors which you can consider. Best way to judge the difference between fake review is to ask the company to get your interaction with that particular client if possible.
Conclusion
Maybe there are some more factors which I have might missed in this post but to me, I feel the above factors are the most important which one can consider if he/she is thinking to create a mobile app.
