Do quality mobile apps have to be expensive?
After hearing this question repeatedly from startups, we were determined to tackle expensive apps by developing tools and a development system that would dramatically reduce the cost of web and mobile app development.
The solution came from Xamarin’s native cross-platform technologies that provided the ability to develop mobile solutions for iOS and Android phones by sharing native code across platforms. By combining this shared code solution with a unique, time-saving SDK tool developed for StrongLoop of San Mateo, application development was simplified, resulting in a significant reduction in development time and costs while maintaining a high standard. of application quality.
An example of this app development can be found with the New York startup, InstaPet.
InstaPet was looking for a method to implement web and mobile app services for emergency and transport veterinarians. Initially operating throughout Manhattan, the company required its services to be available when its customers placed an order on any type of mobile device or internet web application. The response to a customer request was based on the proximity of InstaPet’s service provider network. Service providers needed to be available and respond to a customer request promptly.
By creating customer-friendly front-end functional UI/UX screens of InstaPet’s service options and by developing a sophisticated back-end that helps with service automation and management support functions, InstaPet has significantly improved the process. of your emergency responses and other services. Using Xamerin, the SDK, and an in-house group of dedicated developers, InstaPet’s app development was achieved at a fraction of industry costs.

So do quality mobile apps have to be expensive?
The answer depends on the resources used. Using Xamerin’s code share across iOS and Android platforms takes coding to new levels of efficiency. This new coding efficiency combined with the specialized SDK results in a solution for achieving high-quality mobile applications at reduced costs.
The key to finding complete end-to-end app development services at a price point that makes sense for startups is to spend some time researching web and mobile app developers. The tools people use and how long it takes them to produce a product is what gives the product value. And the same is true for mobile app development. Finding a quality mobile app developer at an affordable price depends on the people and the tools they use.
