Yes. In today’s environment, being agile is one of the most important things. Being agile doesn’t mean a lack of processes, but rather the opposite. Having good efficient processes and a strong working methodology helps us to be agile and at the same time organized and predictable.

Yes, we also do maintenance. We see that as continuous work after the first version is published. Releasing the first version of a software product is just the beginning. Our belief is that the real work begins after launch. So we strongly encourage you to plan your budget so you can have a dedicated team working on your project after launch (this could be in reduced capacity). This option gives you confidence that the team monitors how the project behaves in the real world and acts quickly based on the data from the field. Also, to create a successful product, you should iterate it based on the usage analytics – your users know best what they need.

Native apps, as the name suggests, are used to build apps for a specific platform – iOS or Android – and so the programming language used would differ based on the platform. For native Android app development, developers program with languages such as Java or Kotlin. For native iOS app development, we have a choice of Swift or Objective-C. As the native apps are written for a specific platform, they are more responsive, faster, and perform better in terms of animations. Native apps are also preferred over cross-platform apps when data protection and security is crucial. Cross-platform apps, also known as hybrid apps, are coded once and run on multiple platforms. We can use different technologies to develop hybrid apps like React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, and Ionic to code the mobile app, using a browser supported technologies such as Html, CSS, JavaScript. Hybrid apps have their own advantages like a single code base, overall lower development cost, easy maintenance, and faster delivery.

Some of the most common errors in Android development that others do but we don’t: Memory leaks by passing context to async tasks Performing background work on the main thread, blocking the main thread Developing UI without taking into account different screen dimensions and densities Using view hierarchy that is too deep

While the answer isn’t simple, but it isn’t as convoluted as many developers make it seem. Many app developers will either build you a subpar app for a lower fee — you get what you pay for — or get you in the door at a low price only to invoice you 5x the original estimate down the road. What you rarely see is a realistic depiction of what an app costs and how that’s calculated. When you initiate a conversation with Digiits and explain your ideas and goals, we walk you through what’s needed to execute and the exact costs to build a premium mobile app for iPhones.

It all depends on what stage of your product roadmap you are on. Are you looking to build an MVP (minimum viable product) to show to potential investors or have a clear vision and product market fit already? All our engagements start with a crystal clear timeline based on agile development methodologies. Our clients get to see the work in progress builds every step of the way so you have full visibility of our engineering process. On average, time to build a premium quality app ranges between 3 to 6 months depending on your feature set and roadmap.
