Qualities of a good mobile app developer - Other Tools & General Discussion

PTPA!
Hi there! Can you help me out? I’m looking for a good developer of mobile applications. Can you tell me what qualities should I look for in one? And when I’m searching on the Internet, how can I tell if an agency is reliable? For example, a friend recommended this mobile app development agency to me. They seem to have all the services I need, but what are the things that I should take note of when examining their website?

Mobile App Development
I know a good place where you would find good and professional designers and developers for mobile apps. This is their website: www.hvantagetechnologies.com
You can check their IOS and Android works to have a better idea about their app designs, experience, and quality level: http://www.hvantagetechnologies.com/portfolio/mobileportfolio/
What I personally most like about them, you'll find them professional at every stage of your app building procedure, from blue-prints to final testings and delivery. First, they will work on with the wireframes to make sure everything is clear and structured then you'll receive very well-formatted breakdown documents which define the delivery date for each of your app part. With all this as above mentioned, you'll get a dedicated project manager for your project who will be very smart and will take care of your project from start to the end.
They have a professional and skilled team of designers and developers who just not only make sure you receive your app on time but they also make sure you receive the best quality out of them; they take limited projects just to maintain their quality level.

A mobile app to change how restaurants work for better

We have just launched a campaign on Indiegogo website. About our new project which we really think is going to change the world. It’s a mobile app for restaurants,
a kind of social network but not limited to that! You may learn more about it here: igg.me/at/kindchef/x/4836930
Honestly, there are two reasons why I am talking about it here:
1) we have introduced some perks(gifts), that you mau find very useful and profitable.
2) the second reason is to spread the word about the campaign because we won’t be able to change the world if people are not supporting the idea… so if you even
just share it you have helped us a lot.
I hope this post is not looking like a shameless self-promotion. I never do that it’s just that the idea is so big and revolutionary that I think it does sound
righteous to talk about it and may sound very interesting.
Please visit the link above and find more information about it for yourself.
The most important way that you can help us, is by sharing the campaign link with your friends.
Please feel free to ask any questions,
Best,
MyFlashlab team.

[Q] Mobile Application For Business perspective...! Worth or not?

Hello,
Now a days, mobiles are really helpful devices in any industry. People use mobile phones to surf the internet or shop from online store. It is useful to grow your business via using different applications. Is it good to develop mobile application for business or not? There are too many companies available who develop mobile applications. How to choose best mobile application development company from all of them?
Thank You,
Calvin Hewitt
It is ofcourse possible to develop an app for a business and it is generally not very expensive unless you want the app to do a lot. Not knowing what business you are in, if I were in your position I would do the following:
1 - Figure out what you want the app to do (provide a service or provide information)
2 - Have similar functionality on your corporate website with maybe a mobile version (ability to place orders, or track them, or view information)
3 - Search for app developers online in your country/city so that you can personally meet them for the next step
4 - Contact some developers with what you have in mind and ask for a quote for developing and maintaining the app, at the same time you will figure out what they can and can't do + see examples of apps they have done in the past to judge their capability
5 - If you feel confident you can try and search for and contact app developers in other parts of the world like China, India, etc who may do the job cheaper and as good
Good luck Calvin!
I think android development has huge potential of being a viable business but there is a lot of competition. From making my own app as a hobby and releasing it getting the download isn't guaranteed. I putting all eggs in one basket hoping an app will be a great busies is a risk one of the main reasons it is a sideline project/hobby for me, and maybe there is a slim chance of something i make gives the security to make it my own job.

[Q] Is NeoMAD the real solution for cross platform development?

I have an HTML 5 app built with Sencha Touch + Cordova. The app works ok and is already in production, but I want more in terms of performance for the future, so I'm thinking about rewriting it in another framework.
On propertycross.com some of the most used cross-platform frameworks have been compared... I went through all of them and for me the winner is with no doubt NeoMAD. The approach seems the right one: write in one language (Java) and have the native app generated for each platform.
I saw no difference in terms of performance between the native one and the one built with NeoMAD, also the app was only a bit larger (1.2mb the native one, 1.9mb the one built with NeoMAD), with Titanium and Xamarin I get an app 10 times bigger, not to mention the increased startup time.
By doing some research on the web though, NeoMAD doesn't seem much used... on stackoverflow I get only 5 questions with the neomad tag.
So why so few people use this framework? Seems to me the perfect one... Does anyone have any experience with it?
Hello Emanuele,
First of all, as one of the NeoMAD founders I was very happy to read your post!
To answer your question, I think there are 3 explanations:
1/ NeoMAD is available on the market since 2012 only and this is a first objective reason why we do not have a lot of users at the moment.
2/ Neomades is a small company with limited marketing resources compared to our main competitors.
3/ The Neomades team is mainly a tech one and we have not been so efficient until now in business dev.
However, NeoMAD is used for mobile developments by major french organizations such as CROUS, L'Oréal and TNS Sofres / WPP Group. Some of these applications are available on the app stores, you can find more information about it in the References section of our website.
We hope that comments like yours will catch the community's attention and increase the visibility of NeoMAD… without users and the developer community we will not succeed !
Fill free to contact us for any questions a [email protected]
Best regards.
Hey @memanuele
First of all, you need to choose the framework according to your specific project needs. It's really hard to name the one-fits-all framework. If you're in no hurry, you can spend some time trying different ones and thus deciding what will be the best variant for you.
If you don't have time, you can get initial information from the blogs, for example, here or here, to name a few. Google it, there's alot of interesting going on.
Edit: Ddamn, just noticed the date of the initial post...
