What clients have you worked for?

We do not segregate our clients based on their financial evaluation, for us all client’s are equal and we provide high-quality service even to the smallest projects. But, for the sake of your question, we have worked for all types of clients from small startups to the big firms and we enjoy them all.

If you had to choose one category, what kind of app do you think is your mobile app development company’s specialty?

It’s extremely difficult to choose one since we have covered almost all kinds of domains. But Social media & E-commerce based apps are our strong forte.

What is the average budget of the mobile apps you develop?

We have developed mobile apps in as low as USD 5000 to as high as USD 1,00,000. Because of this huge variance, it is extremely difficult to define one average Budget.

Do you develop all mobile apps in-house or do you outsource some parts of the process?

Our USP is our work quality and on-time delivery. So, no matter how complex a Project is, we NEVER outsource even a single Project module. We work 24/7 to deliver world-class work without any latency.

Which would you say are the best mobile apps that your company has developed and why?

Very difficult to figure two out, as every Project that we had done has brought to us something new and unique. But for the sake of the questions two projects will always be close to us 1)Stay Seated App – This is special to us because it’s the first app Project for which we had to develop a web app also. 2) StudyLock: because it is first one of its kind Project, gives parental control over excessive usage by implementing education into kid's device use

Do you prefer to build mobile apps with native, hybrid or web languages?

For us, our client’s choices stand foremost. We prefer a technology that the client is comfortable in. However, if the client needs our insights, we suggest as per the app & client’s requirements and the audience that the app would cater too. For example, if a client has a limited Budget and want an app for both, OS & Android platforms, we would suggest a Hybrid app and so on.

Let’s focus on iOS and Android mobile app development. Which are the Pros and Cons of each platform?

Pros and Cons are many and vary with the app type and the requirements. To keep it precise, Pros for iOS are - it has a loyal user base and the iOS users are most likely to opt for in-app purchases hence making it an important platform for the clients. Whereas, the cons are - limited user base and strict Apple policies. Pros for Android are – it has covered the major market share in comparison to its counterparts and hence, it offers more visibility to any app. The biggest cons are - fluctuating user loyalty and decreased the ratio of any user to opt for in-app purchases when compared to the iOS user base.

Which one will evolve more within the next 5 years?

We would say both. Every year in Google i/O and  WDC, we have seen announcements and additions of new technologies in both, the iOS & Android. Cutting edge competition that exists between Google & Apple has actually and largely evolved both the technologies and with time it will only get better.

Which device do you feel more comfortable developing an app for?

We develop and give support to all the Android devices with OS 4.0 and above and in iOS 7.0 to latest.

Why is AppFutura useful to you?

Appfutura is a good platform for us in two ways, as it provides the required visibility and it helps us to get in touch with the potential future prospects via Bidding.
