Development practices

When developing mobile applications it is of paramount importance to specifically target the expected user segment and based on that develop the application for mobile use. Before the actual development we present the client with the full connectivity chart of the future working mobile interface. This chart contains all the possible interactions that can occur when the user is working with the application. The choice of the technology to use in order to create the working application will depend on the segment that the owner of the application chooses to target and the functionalities that the application needs to have.

Native applications require more maintenance, are more difficult to develop and in case of Apple they have to go through approval process – however they are much more powerful and can benefit from  all functions that the mobile device can have such as access to the GPS, Phonebook, SIM card etc. On the other side web based interfaces can be very powerful database and content delivery applications and can even integrate some location based services – they do not require installation but are fully dependant on the internet access.
