How to choose mobile app development company?

You’re faced with choosing a mobile app development company – it’s worth choosing wisely, as you’ll potentially be entering into a partnership for many weeks. The process of designing and developing an app is a long one, and it’s worth entrusting it to a company that will do it right. The final product should be an app that meets your requirements, which you will put at a premium in your business, pass on to your customers and make money with it.

• Budget for the project
• Expected completion date of the project
• Prepared project brief

With such information, the company that can potentially make the application for you will propose a solution that fits within the designated budget.

Does the company you are considering as a potential contractor already have similar projects in its portfolio? If so, that’s a very good sign and a very good chance for successful cooperation. Experience in projects makes the application development process easier, as the company then acts on its experience.

Importantly – pay attention to the scope of service as the company offers. The issue here is whether the contractor offers a scope of service from planning, UI and UX design through Development to publishing in the store and subsequent support in maintaining the project.

You send an email to the company and wait 2 days for a response? – That’s a bit long. A mobile app development company needs to be in constant contact with you. Pay attention to the time in which the software development company sends you feedback.

The way you communicate is also important. It should be tailored to you. If you prefer phone contact then this is the way the company should work with you. If you prefer only to send emails – the application contractor should adapt to you.

Before choosing an app development company, check reviews about working with it. In the IT industry, most companies are rated on the portal. Clutch.co. Never suggest only the reviews visible on the website. Check Google for other people’s bad experiences.

By choosing a company that does not have any project in its portfolio, you are taking a big risk. It’s a good idea for you to get acquainted with a particular contractor’s completed projects before you start working together. If the app development company has experience with projects similar to yours this is a very big plus. This will allow you to better understand the topic and the final created quality product.

An important point – figure out how often you will be informed about the progress of the project. It is important that you know/know regularly about what is happening in the project. Importantly, the company, MUST keep itself informed about successes as well as possible failures in the project. This can be in the form of regular meetings, short progress presentations (called demos) or even access to a task board (e.g. JIRA, Trello, Asana, etc.).

Your prospective application contractor should advise you on how to plan the work. When starting a new project, the company should most often plan the work so as to make the first working version as soon as possible. It is worth considering doing an MVP of the application first.

When deciding on a contractor for your application, take into account all the features described in this text. The final decision is very important, because the success of your future project depends on it.

It’s also a good idea to have a company assist you with things like maintaining the project, developing it, and suggesting how best to monetize and promote it.
