Native Mobile App Development
We have been building native mobile apps for nearly as long as there have been smartphones to load them onto. More importantly, we have seen how much the mobile landscape has changed over the last decade and can help guide you through the business decisions and product requirements involved in your build.
A native mobile app is designed specifically for a smartphone and then developed in a language or framework specific for the mobile operating systems, packaged up, and deployed to the appropriate app store for users to download onto their devices. This is much different than a responsive web app, which is rendered in the device's mobile browser and is not downloaded from the app store.
The early days of the app store held a much different set of opportunities than today. Back then, at the least, native mobile apps could give companies some marketing mindshare as they commandeered that valuable real estate on the user's home screen. Native mobile apps allowed brands and developers creative ways to make ongoing impressions through interactions on the device their customers always had with them. Today, there are over 2.2 million apps in The Apple App Store and over 3.4 million in Google Play.
The days of novelty are long gone. To get that real estate on your potential customer's device means creating something of exceptional value. We begin by evaluating your business rationale for native mobile app development and will provide you with absolute honest feedback, even if that means recommending that you do not build it. This has often been the case after client discovery as we assess the product for requirements such as a very controlled mobile experience, camera functionality, kinetic feedback, geolocation, and real-time push notifications.
After deciding that it is indeed go-time for your native mobile app development, our methodical phased approach and project management will ensure that expectations are met for timelines and budgets. Starting with requirements planning and interaction design, we shall then move into the visual design elements and review it all in a clickable prototype before engineering ever begins.
Once development starts, we shall make a final assessment on which language or framework best suits your native mobile app. Whether you are looking at iOS, Android or both, we can dive in with React Native, Objective-C, Swift, Python, JS, Ruby, and more.
