Posted on December 22, 2022 by OSPL
If you sit on google with an objective to search on mobile app development, you’ll quickly come to know that the market is close to saturated, to say the least. There are several hundreds, if not thousands, of mobile app developers out there in the market for you to choose from.
But having said that, how many of those development companies do actually properly qualify to build the app you are looking? When you get the answer, the number might surprise you. You might find it significantly less than you thought. As the reality of the situation suggests that just because someone knows how to code mobile apps, doesn’t necessarily mean that they are the best mobile developers to build the right app for you. It requires the proper functional know how of your business vertical. There are even plenty of freelancers who know the basics of coding and can put together a functional app, but to make a working app you need a mobile development company that has some knowledge of or fair amount of understanding of how your business process flows.
So how to identify which developers are the best for your mobile app, whom you can depend upon? It can be fairly challenging if you don’t know what actually you may need to look for.
Key Things

Look for a developer or development company that can develop hybrid mobile apps as it will provide you convenience and will significantly reduce the cost and time associated with building separate apps for native operating systems.
- Developers' Availability - How Much Time They Can Provide For
You:
It has observed that a lots of ocassion, cost plays a pivotal role for someone to decide or finalise an app developer. But like most things you buy, that may not work as cheaper isn’t always better. So in order to cut cost or save money, a common way for small / businesses is by looking for a freelance developers. That may look to be a cheaper option but can anytime turn out to be a costlier affair, as freelancers work mostly after their work hours or during weekends resulting to a much delayed delivery.
- Knowledge Of Required Technology Stack:
When you’re looking around for a mobile app developer, make sure you don't hesitate to ask questions related to the technology stack. Some developers just give you a basic detail and a price in their bid for the development costs, but they do not mention the details of technology they will use for the back-end infrastructure of your app. There are certain things that will be required for your app to work once it’s live. For example, deployment details such as, if you want to backup information about your app users, you’ll need a database server. you wanted user analytics? You may need an analytics server, an authentication server if you want users to log in to your app, and a push notification server. The list goes on and on.
- Security:
Security must be a top priority for anyone building a mobile app. You must ensure that the required security issues are addressed
- Post-Delivery Or Launch Support & Warranty:
Your app has been successfully developed and launched also. It’s live now and available for download. People are already using it. That’s great! But the work doesn't finish here. You need to check if the developer just walks away and leave you on your own?
Your app will need updates and will necessesarily need the support from the developers or the development company. So find a developer who takes care of post launch service support. Generally a warranty for a period of of 1-6 months sould be sought from the development company as part of the scope of work only. You will need to negotiate on that.
For after the "Free Warranty Period", you may go for a Maintenance or Support Contract with the developers or development company or a chargeable basis, either hourly or based on the resources required.
