Frequently Asked Questions

Starting your app development journey is simple! Begin by scheduling a free consultation through our website or by calling 1-833-APP-IDEA. During this initial meeting, we'll discuss your app idea, target audience, and goals. Our team will then provide guidance on the feasibility, potential features, and next steps. You don't need any technical knowledge – just bring your idea and enthusiasm, and we'll handle the rest of the process.

No, you don't need to know how to code to create an app with us. We handle all the technical aspects of app development. You just need to bring your idea, and we'll guide you through the entire process from conceptualization to launch. Our team of experienced developers, designers, and project managers will work closely with you to bring your vision to life.

To make our first meeting as productive as possible, it helps to have: 1) A clear description of your app idea and its core purpose, 2) Information about your target audience, 3) Any specific features you'd like to include, 4) Examples of similar apps you like (or aspects of apps you'd like to emulate), and 5) Your timeline and budget expectations. Don't worry if you don't have all of this figured out—we're here to help refine your concept!

Yes, we understand the value of your intellectual property. We're happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before discussing your idea in detail. This legally binds us to keep your concept confidential. Additionally, once development is complete, you'll own 100% of the source code and all intellectual property rights to your app.

The cost to build an app varies widely depending on complexity, features, platforms, and design requirements. Simple apps might start around $5,000, while complex apps with custom features can range from $25,000 to $100,000+. We provide customized quotes based on your specific needs and offer flexible payment options. We also offer milestone-based payment plans to help manage costs throughout the development process. Contact us for a free consultation and estimate.

App development timelines typically range from 3-9 months depending on complexity. Simple apps may take 2-4 months, medium complexity apps 4-6 months, and complex apps 6-12+ months. Our process includes planning, design, development, testing, and deployment phases, with regular updates throughout. We'll provide you with a detailed timeline during our initial consultation based on your specific requirements.

Yes, we offer flexible payment plans to make app development more accessible. Typically, our payment structure follows the major milestones of development: an initial deposit to begin, payments at the completion of design phases, development phases, and final payment upon launch. This approach allows you to break the total investment into manageable segments that align with project progress. We can customize these plans based on your specific financial situation and project scope.

We pride ourselves on transparency, so you'll receive a comprehensive quote outlining all costs upfront. However, it's important to be aware of ongoing costs that may be separate from development: 1) App store fees (Apple and Google charge annual developer fees), 2) Server/hosting costs for apps requiring backend services, 3) Third-party service integrations (payment processors, mapping services, etc.), 4) Maintenance and updates after launch, and 5) Marketing and promotional costs. We'll discuss all these aspects during our planning phase so there are no surprises.

We develop apps for all major platforms including iOS (iPhone/iPad), Android, and web applications. We can build native apps for each platform or cross-platform solutions depending on your needs and budget. Our expertise spans mobile apps, web apps, progressive web apps (PWAs), and backend services. During our consultation, we'll help determine which platforms make the most sense for your specific app idea and target audience.

Our app development process includes six key phases: 1) Discovery and planning - Understanding your requirements and creating a project roadmap, 2) Design and wireframing - Creating mockups and user flows for your approval, 3) Development - Writing the code that powers your app, 4) Testing and quality assurance - Ensuring your app works flawlessly, 5) Deployment - Launching your app to the appropriate app stores, and 6) Post-launch support and maintenance. We involve you at every stage with regular updates and feedback sessions to ensure the final product meets your expectations.

Your involvement is crucial at specific checkpoints, though we handle all the technical heavy lifting. Typically, clients are most involved during: 1) The initial planning and feature definition, 2) Reviewing and approving designs and wireframes, 3) Weekly or bi-weekly progress updates, 4) Testing preliminary versions of the app, and 5) Final approval before launch. Most clients dedicate 2-4 hours per week during active development phases. We tailor this schedule to your availability while ensuring you always have visibility into the project's progress.

Absolutely! Most successful apps continuously evolve based on user feedback and changing market needs. We can implement feature updates, optimizations, and expansions after your initial launch. Many clients start with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that includes core functionality, then add enhanced features in subsequent updates. This approach allows you to get to market faster, begin collecting user feedback, and invest in additional features strategically. We offer maintenance packages specifically designed for ongoing development and feature additions.

After launch, we provide ongoing support and maintenance to keep your app running smoothly. We offer various support packages including bug fixes, performance optimization, feature updates, and scaling solutions. We also help with analytics implementation, user feedback collection, and marketing strategies to grow your user base. Many clients continue working with us on version 2.0 and beyond as their app evolves and expands with success.

Yes, you will own the app and its source code after the project is completed and final payment is made. We transfer all intellectual property rights to you, including the design, source code, and any assets created during development. This gives you complete control over your app's future. We can help you secure proper licensing and ensure all ownership documentation is properly filed.

We handle the entire app store submission process for both Apple App Store and Google Play Store. This includes preparing all necessary assets, writing store descriptions, setting up developer accounts (if needed), submitting the app for review, and addressing any feedback from the review process. Our experienced team knows how to navigate the requirements to minimize delays. We'll guide you through creating developer accounts in your name to ensure you maintain ownership of your app listings.

Yes, we offer marketing support services to help your app succeed after launch. Our marketing assistance includes: 1) App Store Optimization (ASO) to improve discoverability, 2) Setting up app analytics to track user behavior, 3) Creating promotional graphics and videos for marketing, 4) Guidance on paid advertising strategies, and 5) Social media launch planning. For more comprehensive marketing needs, we can connect you with our network of specialized marketing partners who focus exclusively on app promotion and user acquisition campaigns.
