Our customers contact us when they are hiring an App Development Company<\/strong><\/a>, and we come across many basic to complex questions from them regarding this whole App Development Outsourcing business. So, we felt the need to consolidating all such questions in one article and share with everyone.<\/p>\n

Starting from simple hygiene questions to critical ones and sometimes even the regular ones, we have many such questions being asked and answered every day.<\/p>\n

So we thought to consolidate and compile some of the most important questions (asked by real people) and their answers in this post, hoping it helps anyone looking for app development services or\u00a0Mobile App Development Companies<\/a>. Here we go:-<\/p>\n

Q. I\u2019ve a mobile app idea, how do I get it developed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Great, so you now have to share your idea with mobile app development companies and for that you may describe the mobile app as a third-person as much as you can, so that we gauge the scope of the work and give the client an estimation (commercial quote + timelines). If you have wireframes or mockups then it shall be more helpful, else we can develop those for you if you give inputs.<\/p>\n

Q. What if you steal my mobile app idea, how do I ensure confidentiality?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We won\u2019t, we can\u2019t do this since we\u2019re a pure play service provider company and wouldn\u2019t want to compete with our potential customers, ever! Also, if we just sign an\u00a0NDA\u00a0(non disclosure agreement) you shall be safe in writing as well.<\/p>\n

Q. How to obtain an accurate quote? Can I give you hand sketched screen flows I created, kind of click the sketches and share with you? What is the easiest way?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, absolutely. Would be more kind of you if you also care to describe some things via text. The more you try to make me understand your project idea, more shall I be able to offer you best advice and quote.<\/p>\n

So the best input is \u201cwireframes or screen drawings + description and a Q&A session\u201d, second best is \u201cDescription and Q&A session\u201d and least is \u201ceither description or Q&A\u201d, and below least is sharing a \u201creference app\u201d (I call it below least because you can only see the front end of a reference app and not the backend and therefore any cost idea is based on assumptions that can swing your estimation by more than 50 % at times).<\/p>\n

And, If you are technical, then you know what we need.<\/p>\n

Q. Native or hybrid (cross platform using xamarin, or phonegap, or ionic etc)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Long story short: Go for hybrid only if<\/p>\n
