What do you do at SIMpalm?

I started the company with a laser sharp focus on mobile app development. Currently we do full cycle mobile app and web development. In mobile space, we expertise in UI, app development and backend development. We can build mobile apps using native app development and hybrid app development approach.

We have worked for several startups, enterprises and government clients in USA.

Which would you say are the best apps SIMpalm has developed and why?

It is hard to pick the best one, we have done more than 150 mobile apps. Recently we worked on Taptin App and AudioBookNow app. Taptin App is a social application, which is used in Bars/Clubs as an ice breaker and connect with people. AudioBookNow is to download the music library and listen to music.

They both have been very popular and featured in several magazines and publications.

Which apps would you have loved to develop and why?

I wish I had worked on Starbucks Mobile App. We have expertise in payment and POS application and we could have done a great job building this app. We have built several mobile payment apps, PCI, merchants and POS space. Also, the Starbucks app is used by millions of users, It has a big impact on our daily lives.

Which are the 5 apps you use the most on a daily basis?

Google Maps, WhatsApp, Skype, Calendar App and my Bank App.

Which mobile device is the best in the market right now?

I would say that Samsung Galaxy is the best device in the market. I personally use it. It has vastness of Android and sleekness of iOS devices. I can do more on it than any other device.

What kind of device/platform will be the next big thing?

I think iOS and Android devices will be the only key players. Windows will disappear or loose. Blackberry is already changing to Android. I think responsive web/javascript will be the best platform to build mobile applications since technology has advanced and it serves several objectives.

Why is AppFutura useful to you?

Appfutura is growing as a marketplace for app developers. It is important as a listing site and also for finding projects. Now since Elance and oDesk merged to make Upwork, Appfutura has really good potential to grow in USA. I can see more projects and transactions happenning on Appfutura.
