Regardless of the industry, companies always strive to offer customers the best possible experiences. Since more and more people are using smartphones to make everyday life easier, it is advisable to provide an app for your employees and customers. Thus, users can benefit directly from a company's offer.
To ensure high quality mobile app development in Baltimore, a top mobile app development agency such as Hyperlink InfoSystem should be contacted. The development cost of the app depends on the scope, operating system, additional licenses required and other factors such as the target market or updates.
The costs of having an app developed are so high because the programmers need many hours of work for the various functions. Not every standard function has to be developed separately, because frameworks are available. These contain the source code for various tasks. This means that basic routines can be used easily, quickly and reliably. Several frameworks can be used depending on the operating system.
Native App or Web App
When it comes to developing a mobile app for Android or iOS, programmers have a choice. You can develop a separate app for both systems or you can use the advantages of a web-based app. Both variants offer different advantages and disadvantages. The program that creates the app is also important.
Web Apps
A web app is a specially programmed website. This can be called up on any device with a browser and adapts to the environment. Programmers and companies only have to develop an app once, but it still works on almost every device. This means that app development costs can be massively reduced. At the same time, more users who can use the app and its functions are reached. A further cost reduction arises from the non-inclusion of the app in Play Store and App Store. However, sales and marketing cost extra.
In order to develop web apps, programmers need knowledge of HTML5 and other web technologies. However, HTML5 has the advantage of offline storage. This means that an app that has already been loaded can also be used without an internet connection. Web apps are also found with a Google search and can be used directly without additional installation. A shortcut on the home screen as a bookmark replaces the conventional app icon.
While web apps can be published quickly, there are some drawbacks. Certain hardware functions cannot be used and access to sensors is restricted. In addition, push notifications can only be implemented to a limited extent. Web apps reach their limits with larger calculations, high storage space requirements or the display of 3D.
Native Apps
Native apps are programmed for exactly one operating system. It only works on a few devices and must be adapted for every other OS. The cost of a native app is a bit higher, especially if Android and iOS are to be supported.
The advantage of native apps lies in their performance. Complex tasks and high-performance processes are processed quickly. In addition, all sensors and hardware elements can be integrated into the app. Native apps are more suitable when a lot of data is stored and processed, as there is no memory limit. If the app convinces many users, the reviews in the app stores can generate new users.
