          Your questions, answered

          The following solutions in mobile app development services include but are not limited to:
           1. Custom iOS and Android app development
           2. Native and cross-platform solutions
           3. Second platform app development
           4. UI/UX design
           5. Consulting and prototyping
           6. Automated QA and testing
           7. Power management, notification, and geofencing
           8. Embedded Android & AOSP customizations

          There are three main types of mobile applications based on their technology:

          • Native Apps: Built specifically for a platform (iOS or Android), native apps are developed using languages like Swift, Kotlin, or Java. They offer superior performance, full access to device hardware (camera, GPS, sensors), and a smoother user experience.
          • Web Apps: These are responsive websites optimized for mobile browsers, working across all devices and operating systems. They’re built with technologies like HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS and are easy to maintain since updates are made directly on the server.
          • Hybrid Apps: Combining native and web app elements, hybrid apps are developed using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript but packaged within a native shell. This allows them to be distributed through app stores like the Apple App Store or Google Play, offering a cross-platform solution.

          Cross-platform development allows you to build a single app that runs seamlessly across multiple platforms, including iOS and Android. Using popular frameworks like React Native and Flutter, we ensure your app is not only cost-effective but also performs optimally on both platforms. With cross-platform development, your app can reach a broader audience while reducing time-to-market and development costs.

          All development: iOS App, Android App, and the backend should happen in parallel. For a smaller app, this work can be achieved in 2 months; a mid-sized app can take around 3-3.5 months, while a big-sized app might take around 5-6 months.

          Maintenance and support ensure that your app remains functional, secure, and up-to-date after launch. This includes bug fixes, performance enhancements, updates for new OS versions, and feature expansions based on user feedback. We offer ongoing support to ensure your app stays relevant and continues to perform optimally over time.

          Spiral Scout stands out due to our commitment to delivering secure, scalable, and highly functional apps tailored to your business goals. Our expert team works closely with you throughout the entire process, from product discovery to post-launch support. We offer end-to-end mobile app development services that ensure your app not only meets but exceeds expectations.
