Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Should I build a native app or cross-platform app?

For most businesses, we recommend cross-platform development using React Native. It allows us to build for both iOS and Android simultaneously using a single codebase, delivering near-native performance while reducing long-term maintenance overhead.

2. How do I know if my business needs a mobile app vs. a mobile-friendly website?

If you need offline functionality, push notifications, device hardware access (camera, GPS, biometrics), or a persistent on-device presence, a mobile app is the right choice. For simpler needs like product browsing or contact forms, a responsive website often suffices. We help you evaluate during our discovery process.

3. How long does mobile app development take?

A focused MVP can launch in 8-12 weeks. More complex applications with custom backend integrations, multiple user roles, and advanced features require 16-20 weeks from strategy to app store launch.

4. Do you handle submitting the app to the Apple App Store and Google Play?

Yes. We handle the entire submission process for both stores, ensuring your app meets all Apple and Google guidelines, privacy requirements, and quality standards for approval.

5. Who owns the app and its source code?

You do. Once the project is completed and paid for, we transfer full ownership of the source code, assets, and intellectual property to your company.

6. Will the app work offline?

Yes, we can build offline functionality. By implementing intelligent caching and local databases, your app can allow users to view content or save data without internet access, syncing automatically when connectivity is restored.

7. What happens after the app launches?

We provide 1-year of free maintenance, which covers bug fixes and compatibility updates for new OS versions. After the first year, we offer ongoing maintenance packages to keep your app running smoothly.

8. Can my app connect to my existing website or database?

Absolutely. We specialize in building secure APIs to connect your new mobile application seamlessly with your existing databases, CRM, or web application infrastructure.

9. Do you offer ongoing feature updates after launch?

Yes. Our post-launch support includes the option to add new features, improve existing functionality, and adapt your app to evolving user needs and market conditions.

10. What kind of analytics can be built into the app?

We integrate analytics platforms that track user engagement, retention, feature usage, funnel conversion, and crash reports — giving you the data you need to make informed product decisions.
