Mobile App Development
Define an iOS and Android app around the work people need to do on their phones, including connectivity, device features and release requirements.
Planning your project
Mobile app or responsive web app?
A responsive web app may be enough when users mainly complete online forms or view information. An installed app can be useful for device integration, offline tasks and an app-store presence. Compare the required experience, supported devices and maintenance effort before choosing an approach.
What goes into an app estimate?
Screens are only part of the scope. Account roles, backend services, offline synchronisation, push notifications, payments and device testing all affect the work. Separate the first release from later features, and budget for store accounts, hosting and support after launch. Store approval timing is controlled by Apple and Google.
Offline data and integrations
Decide which tasks must work without connectivity and what happens when two people edit the same record. Define the API contract with your CRM or operational system, limit sensitive data stored on the device, and test recovery from interrupted uploads on real devices.
