What's better: cross-platform or native development?

It depends on your target audience, but we generally recommend native development if: Performance is important to you. Kotlin and Java are better at leveraging the platform's capabilities compared to cross-platform solutions like Flutter. For instance, they require fewer intermediate libraries Low-level features are needed. If you require access to hardware components such as a compass or gyroscope, native code will handle this better Innovation matters. Innovations tend to appear first in native environments like Kotlin before making their way to cross-platform solutions, often with delays. For instance, Flutter's support for VR is still quite basic If you plan to eventually port your software to other operating systems, such as iOS, then cross-platform languages like Flutter and React Native might be more suitable. Developing two native apps for Android and iOS is also an option

Another studio does it faster and cheaper, why?

Usually, the complete development cycle takes 2-3 months when we're creating an application from scratch. With a large number of additional features, the timeframe can extend to six months 2-3 weeks is the time that is needed to develop a minimum viable product. It's good for testing or checking whether the audience is ready Many studios use ready-made no-code builders that don't require programming skills. However, they lack debugging systems, and bug fixes take much more time. There are numerous limitations that make the application less flexible. And when it comes to performance and native programming, the no-code paradigm is not suitable at all

I have an application from other developers. Can you finalize it?

Certainly, if you have the code at hand that needs to be updated, features added, or bugs fixed, we can help. We will sign a non-disclosure agreement

Is there support after release?

Absolutely, we offer application support services: updates, adjustments, modernization, etc. This is discussed separately during the creation of the TOR or after the release

How we work

1. Planning

We analyze ideas and draw up a strategy for the project development. We study the industry, audience, and competitors' cases. At this stage, we create the terms of reference (TOR) and conduct user interviews

2. Design and Prototype Creation

We visualize the strategies and insights gathered during the planning phase. Our designers develop scenarios, prepare an application prototype, and present it to you for approval

3. Development

Based on the TOR and prototype, we write the code. We recommend native Android development. Cross-platform programming is also possible if you plan to adapt the app for iOS

4. Testing

We test the software for bugs to ensure they don't make it into the release. After each testing iteration, the developer implements necessary revisions

5. Release

Once the app is ready, we send it into production. At this stage, the software has been checked for bugs and thoroughly tested

6. Launch and Support

We assist with software support and publication: deployment, upgrades, updates, code refinement, and adding new features

App Support

After testing is complete, the application is ready for release on Google Play. It has been repeatedly tested under real load. However, to ensure that customers continue to use the app over the long term, it needs to be regularly updated and enhanced.

With us, you can order post-release app support. The same developers who worked on building the app will be responsible for this, as they are familiar with the software architecture and its capabilities.

We provide comprehensive app support, including:

Product analysis
Identification of innovations and enhancements
Evaluation of functionality and task realization strategy
Component updates
Implementation of new features

Additionally, we can offer support for apps developed by third parties if you have open-source code
