Depth of Experience

An enterprise cross-platform app development company focused on sophisticated and challenging solutions must have a depth that extends beyond what runs on the device itself. There are many technologies outside of C# and Visual Studio that are always needed, such as Rails, React, Node.js, and other server side API development languages and tools. Cross-platform app development is more than just an app, it is a product solution that often includes services running on AWS, Azure, and supporting API and server side components. We are experts at building these end to end solutions.

Design Focus

Design is a core competency at Tack Mobile. Design is far more than how an application looks, it provides the foundation for software development. A good user experience does not happen by accident. From discovery to wireframes to high fidelity design, we make only high quality, well designed software.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is more than a convenience to have a full service agency – completing complex projects requires more than cross-platform app development expertise. We’ve developed some strong opinions on the right way to build software over the years, and have compiled a list of common questions below.

How much does a cross-platform app cost?

Cross-platform applications vary dramatically in complexity. A typical application we build ranges from $100,000 for a small and simple (but polished) application to over $1,000,000 for a more complex platform including web services and other integrations, such as IoT or home automation and augmented reality.

Is UI Design that important?

User interface design, and user experience design, are critical and fundamental to building quality software. In the same way you would not have a carpenter design and build your house and not involve an architect, software developers work with designers to ensure what we’re building is a cohesive and intuitive experience.

Should we build a cross-platform app?

Cross-platform technologies can make sense in some cases. For straightforward or budget-constrained development projects, there can be efficiencies gained and time saved by writing cross-platform code.

Are native applications better?

A native application is one built using the platform’s intended language and development tools. On iOS, this is Swift. Generally, this is the best option as it removes any additional layers and reduces additional complexities which can add to development time. There are times where a cross platform approach can work well, however.

Do you provide cross-platform application maintenance?

We’re often asked about long term cross-platform app maintenance. This essentially boils down to ensuring availability for ongoing updates, and preventing “bit-rot,” where new platform releases will break features or UI. We have strategies to ensure your applications remain reliable for the long term, and customize these for each client need.

Can you help with cross-platform app strategy?

How to build a cross-platform app, what to build, and when are complex questions. We can guide clients through the cross-platform app development process from inception to app store deployment to maintenance.

Can we PM or QA the project ourselves?

Yes. In fact, we are most successful when working alongside and collaborating with your team, rather than in isolation, as you know your customers better than anyone. We often fill in where needed and have the right set of tools and processes to integrate smoothly with your staff.

What to expect / Process

From as early as brainstorming the idea to post-release support, our process ticks every box for your cross-platform app — whether its iPhone, iPad, or any Android device. Over ten years of cross-platform app development has allowed us to craft an efficient workflow that ensures the highest efficiency for our cross-platform app development services.

Approach Timeline Background

Discovery

This phase will help us define “what,” “where,” and “when” we build cross-platform apps. Our goal is to understand users’ needs, and establish objectives up front.

Definition

Based on the data collected, Tack will generate personas, user journeys, and a product map. This will help us determine the scope of the project.

Design

This phase will answer “how” we build your cross-platform apps. The best design is usually the simplest design, which requires effort.

Build

Continuous automated cross-platform app build integration ensures a working copy of software is regularly available. iPhone and Android app demos are used to show, rather than tell, progress.

Deploy

Deploying the entire solution, and updates, by carefully synchronizing server, client, updates, and marketing efforts for smooth rollouts. A cross-platform app development company should stay with you throughout the process.

Summary

Tack Mobile is among the world’s best cross-platform development companies. We have an expert cross-platform app development team versed in every aspect of iPhone and Android app development, decades of experience with cross-platform development, and processes to ensure an efficient, cost effective product. There may be no other cross-platform app development team that can do what we do as efficiently as we are able to do it. While there are cheaper offshore development options, and certainly more expensive cross-platform app development agencies, when quality and maximizing ROI are the top priorities, Tack Mobile is the best cross-platform development company and our track record reflects this.
