A mobile app is no more a fad, but a necessity, which has interwoven in our daily necessity fabric, and witnessing the growing need for mobile apps, businesses across the globe are marking its presence and giving us many more reasons to fall in love with the mobile apps, but this ever growing need is also creating a stress around the neck of mobile app development field, and the options to get better than before mobile apps are increasing as a consequence. The marketing environment for these mobile app development companies leaves no stone unturned, for the clients to get confused and get bewildered enough to pick the wrong mobile app developer for their dream concept.
Since the business owners are generally from the non-tech
background, which adds fuel to the fire, and they just seem lost and completely
going with the flow rather than knowing the actual reason behind any particular
technology pick, many blogs and articles have grabbed the decent space on the
internet, which clearly shares the idea for what you need to avoid in the mobile
app development process, but I am going to address a something very different
topic, which may help you get the information, which you may have always
yearned for, that what you should know before hiring a developer. So here we
start …
Understand The App
Platform Requirement
This is the utmost aspect you need to learn at the initial
stage and that is the app platform. Many app developers boast that they can
develop for any device and operating system, but don't trust them since it is
nothing but a hoax call, which would serve no purpose. The naïve clan of app
developers gives you the numerous options, starting from hybrid,
cross-platform, react native etc. etc. , but you need to be very précised with
your approach and you need to understand your business requirement and targeted
users, accordingly you have to choose the right mobile app platform for your
mobile app, the best suggested is Native, since it offers lots of design
options, optimal utilization of hardware and operating system, wonderful App
Performance Speed, gives more control on the size, resolution and even
orientation on every device, increases the odds of fixing the nastiest of bugs,
since Native apps are natural extensions of the platform that smell, look and
feel like the default apps, so getting a mobile app in Native would help you in
numerous ways.
Does Your
Developer Understand Your Project
A mobile app is an easy journey, only if it is initiated
with the right mobile app developers, who understand your project and its
requirements. It is not an easier task, but requires a huge deal of efforts,
since it is not always possible that your development team understands what are
you portraying and what you try to keep in your mobile app. The best practice
to accomplish this is by getting a paraphrased version of your app concept's
understanding from your proposed app developer, if you would find any sort of
glitch in this, then you may get it rectified and give them the right
direction. With this strategy, it gets clearer with your app developer and
would get easier for them to add more creativity to it, and bring your exact
thoughts to reality.
Ask For Their Work
Exposure
You need to well-aware with the number and types of mobile
apps, your proposed app developer has developed so far, and it is not wrong to
ask for their work exposure and the work experience because it would help you
to know that whether their said skills and experience, compliment their words as
well. You may find a large group of self-proclaimed best app development
companies in the market, who boast of their work just to get the work, so you
need to be highly inquisitive and curious to know more about their work and app
portfolio, so you would end up hiring an actual top mobile app development
company.
Check Their
Reviews And Feedback
The saddest fact of the mobile app development industry is
that not everyone is as loyal and true to their work, which usually they boast
off, during the initial stage to get the work. Many unfortunate events suggest
that some mobile app development company or freelance mobile app developer
disappeared after the work was awarded to them, on the other hand, some are
highly irresponsible that linger on the work, instead of getting the work
delivered, they prefer to sleep on it, turn a deaf ear to the client's cries. I
suggest you proceed with only a reliable mobile app development company in india, which
has the decent client base and presence in the market. There are various ways
to get to know about the company, like from the listing websites: Clutch,
AppFutura and many more.
These factors, I have compiled from my experience and the
discussion I indulged in recent times with some of the top mobile development
companies in San Francisco, which influenced me to share my thoughts through
this blog. Although, these points are not many, but indeed are worthy to help
you learning number of important aspects you need to know before hiring a
mobile app developer, but there are certain questions as well, which you need
to ask before hiring a Top mobile app developer, and certainly am going to address
those questions in my next blog.
