FAQ
What's a native app?
A native app is a mobile application developed for a specific device platform, either iOS or Android, with separate code written for each one, ensuring optimal performance and integration with the device's hardware.
What's a cross-platform app?
A cross-platform app is developed using a single codebase, allowing it to operate natively on both Android and iOS platforms. This approach speeds up development and reduces costs.
What's a hybrid app?
A hybrid app is developed with a single codebase, allowing it to run on both Android and iOS through a native shell. It may use plugins for limited hardware function access, but with slower performance compared to native apps.
Who builds mobile apps?
Mobile apps are built by a team of specialists: designers create the app's look and user experience; frontend developers handle the interface and functionality; backend developers manage the server-side operations; and testers ensure the app works correctly.
How to make a custom mobile app?
To create a custom mobile app, consult developers. Together, you will discuss and finalize the app's concept and agree on a plan. Afterwards, you will control its realization by testing the ready features and giving feedback to the developers.
What makes a bad mobile app?
A business deems an app bad if it fails to attract users, has low engagement, receives negative feedback, misses revenue goals, offers poor ROI, or harms the brand's reputation through poor performance or security issues.
What is the highest risk of application development?
From a business perspective, the highest risk in mobile application development is failing to meet user needs, leading to low adoption and revenue loss. Other risks include budget overruns, missed deadlines, and wrong technical decisions.
Do people prefer mobile apps or websites?
People's preferences vary depending on context, convenience, and functionality needs. Mobile apps often offer better user experiences, personalized content, and offline access. Websites are more versatile and easily accessible without installation.
Is a website or an app better for business?
Websites are universally accessible and easier to update, suitable for broad reach and content sharing. Apps are ideal for regular interaction and tailored services, offering personalized experiences and enhancing customer loyalty and engagement.
