You can choose to either develop a mobile app that can be downloaded from the app store using native or cross-platform technology, or you can instead opt to develop a web app that runs through the browser with app-like navigation.
To develop a mobile app with native technology means to build it using the default and recommended systems provided by Apple and Google; Swift for Apple and Kotlin for Android. Native apps generally offer the best performance as they can make full use of the phone’s hardware, as well offering reliable integration of third party SDKs.
As the skillsets required to develop for each platform are different, you need to work with an app development company that has expertise in both iOS and Android development; ultimately resulting in a future-proof app with flawless performance.
In the case of cross-platform/hybrid mobile app development, the same technological framework is used to develop the app for several platforms, with the idea being that this saves time by cutting out the complication and effort of developing an app separately for different platforms.
Key cross-platform technologies are Xamarin, React Native (by Meta) and Flutter (by Google).
We recommend and use Flutter technology. Google launched Flutter in 2018 and there was a very strong uptake and it has now become the most popular cross-platform, which offers great performance for small and medium complexity apps with a more competitive budget.
For more complex app, where there are complicated functional modules foreseen for the future, the native technology is still the better choice.
A web app is a web-based solution that users can simply open in the browser of their phone rather than having to download it from an app store. With similar navigation to an app, a web app feels much more like a mobile app than a mobile optimised website. In certain cases a web app can be a good compromise, but it will always fall short of an installed mobile app in terms of speed, peformance, and functionality.
A web app can’t be used offline, it doesn’t allow for push notifcations, and it won’t allow you to make use of phone functions such as Face ID, Bluetooth, and advanced camera operation.
In case there is not an existing back-end system in place, we also need to develop the back-end, which will provide and serve the data that is displayed in the apps. There are two key technologies recommend:
The choice of the technology will depend on your exact requirements
When to use:
For more complex app projects that are intended to be used for longer time horizons where the app’s features provide a key added value for users over simply using a website
When to use:
For simple mobile apps where you want to test the market and you need mobile app specific features
When to use:
If you have a set of simple functions that the user wants to access in a clean and modern UX without the need for more advanced hardware related functions
Depending on the complexity of the app, developing a new mobile application takes between 3-6 months. Our app development agency based in Geneva and Zurich uses agile development (2-week sprints with defined development tasks) or the waterfall development method, consisting of 5 key steps:
To develop a professional app you need a team of A-players who are at the top of their field in development expertise and love what they do.
Our app development company is made up of Switzerland-based account managers supported by our Budapest development hub comprised of senior software engineers and designers.
The short answer is that developing an app consists of about 300-1,000 hours of work, multiplied by app developers’ hourly fee.
Mobile app development doesn’t have to be expensive; our app development company combines the skill of our Switzerland-based account managers with the expertise of our Budapest development hub to offer you outstanding quality at a reasonable price.
The key factors that define complexity (and thus hours of work):
A good app takes a long time to develop as it involves several phases consisting of concept development, wireframe/user interface, design, coding, testing, and uploading to the App Store and Google Play store.
