Their team has been transparent, proactive, and highly responsive throughout the process. They provide clear schedules, flag issues early, and keep us informed at every stage. We’ve been very happy with the prototype so far and are excited to move into full iOS and Android development.

      Chop Dawg supported us with UX/UI design for a new fintech web application. They took the time to understand our users, product requirements, features, and overall vision before moving into design. Over a 6 to 7 week engagement, their team shared regular Figma reviews, incorporated feedback quickly, and stayed highly responsive. They finished ahead of schedule with no budget issues, and the internal response to the final designs has been very positive. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and ability to keep the process organized made them very easy to work with.

      Software Development Review from Emma Bowers

      John Tomblin has served as the software architect and Chief Technology Officer for our software startup, LabPair, for the past two years. During this time John has played an essential role in developing the LabPair software, helping us hone our business model, and plan our launch strategy. I have been delighted with John's services and look forward to our continued partnership.John enjoys a high degree of success as a developer because he is able to engineer software solutions for a variety of marketplaces, no matter how complex or niched. In additional, he has a highly orchestrated, efficient, time- tested process that he uses to scope software projects and get them programmed to clients' specifications. I have been especially appreciative of how John and his team have been both forthright and accurate in estimating the time and cost associated with project development. By far, my favorite part about working with John is his jovial personality, can-do attitude, and excellent communication skills.

      Software Development Review from Thomas Canale

      In 2022, I realized that I needed to find a software development firm capable of designing and developing a SaaS application that would serve the real estate community's need to create reliable, usable, Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) reports, but do so in such a way that also reduced the creation time by as much as 95%. After meeting John and his team, and talking for several weeks about my project, I knew instantly that Data Titan was the right company. Not only were they attentive to every detail of the project, but they also remained vigilant with communications, managing change orders, and keeping to the exact time schedules set for the two-year project, and its numerous phases. Additionally, John's company used 'Scope Atlas', their company's software development application system, to design every screen before any programming work. Having now been through a two-year development process, I realize this project would have never launched without 'Scope Atlas', John's leadership, his senior team, and most importantly, his considerable expertise and insight in the software development sector. I wholeheartedly recommend John and his company for any software or mobile app development project you may be considering. Thank you.

      Software Development Review from Kara Peterson

      Have you ever had a dream? Have you envisioned greatness? This is who I am, I had the idea, but it was just out of my grasp. John Tomblin is in the business of making your creativity and genius a reality. When I first reached out to John, I thought I was on one track. I have a habit of seeing the end, but all of the details are distractions and I had not given them any thought. I was completely unaware of the scope of my project. John did a year long scope and sequence with me, that turned into consulting. He showed me that there is so much more than the end product. I have worked with technology companies in the past and they do one thing really well, they develop technology. John looks at the project holistically. From when the consumer/customer first engages with your product, to how they will actually purchase the product, to the ease of use of the technology, to the performance of your product, to the marketing - how will you first find these customers, and so much more. John is detail oriented and very organized. Nothing slips past him because of his methodology with his wireframes. He holds weekly meetings to make sure the client (me) and he have both done our "homework" to move the project forward. The meetings also ascertain that we are both on the same page about the project. Working with John is a pleasure; I look forward to our weekly talks. I am certain that he is "on my side" and is looking out for my best interests. The world has gotten very small and it is easy to find someone to build your product. However, it is not easy to find someone who will listen to your dream, help you reach it, look out for your best interests and whom you can put complete faith in.

      It was my very first Wordpress website and Angelo and his team at Sunlight Media made the design process easy. I didn’t know how I wanted the website to look I was just focused on user experience. I decided to go with the custom design. Was worth every penny. They exceeded my expectations on the web design.The project manager Lindsey was a pleasure to work with. Good communication through and was very patient with me and communicated to the design team what I wanted exactly.If you are starting your very first website for your business you can’t go wrong with Sunlight Media designing it. They are a team of professionals that will work with you and deliver what you ask for.Update Nov 2023: Worked with them again to solve a technical issue on my site. Great service.

      Software Development Review from Vladyslav Sorochan

      A true tech partner who just gets it! Aqe has brought our rough software concept to life and turned it into a smart platform. The project covered everything from custom development to AI features and some pretty advanced data engineering. From the beginning, their team really took the time to understand what we were trying to achieve. They started with a clear discovery phase and built a solution that checked all the boxes in terms of functionality and ease of use.It is easy to work with their team, not only in terms of technical skills but also in how responsive and collaborative they are. They regularly improved features based on our feedback as we moved along and were always available when we needed support, even after the post-launch. Having that kind of ongoing help made a big difference.The results were a bit better than we expected. We saw a noticeable drop in manual work, smoother internal operations, and improved decision-making through real-time data.Overall, Aqe and their team really delivered what they promised, on time and within our budget. The whole experience was smooth, professional, and well-managed. Wed happily recommend working with them.

      I have been associated with Carmatec for around three years, and my experience has been positive and growth-oriented. I had the opportunity to work on real-world projects using technologies like MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js, and Next.js, which helped improve my technical skills significantly. I also gained practical exposure to deployment, API integration, debugging, and collaborative development workflows. The supportive team environment and continuous learning opportunities made the experience professionally rewarding.

Educational App Developer Hiring Guide

What is an educational app development company?

An educational app development company builds scalable programs and platforms to facilitate virtual learning. It does this by using modern technology and tools, such as: 

  • Augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) 
  • Cloud computing 
  • Artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) 
  • Video streaming 
  • Voice recognition 
  • Blockchain 

The educational app market has been rising for the past 10 years, with an expected annual growth rate of 10% from 2022-2027. Moreover, data shows that its market volume will reach $10 billion by 2027. The factors affecting its growth are: 

  • Demand for STEM-based applications 
  • Adoption of digital solutions in schools 
  • Government regulations and initiatives 

In 2022, the language learning app Duolingo was the most downloaded education application worldwide with 98 million downloads. Ranking second was the educational worldbuilding app Toca Life World with 72 million downloads. 

What do educational app developers do?

Educational app developers create, modify, test, optimize, and maintain applications for online learning. Some even provide IT training and in-house support. Generally, educational app development companies offer the following services: 

Custom web and app design and development  

  • Minimum viable product (MVP) development  
  • UI/UX design 
  • Prototyping 
  • Wireframing 
  • Data architecture and analytics 
  • User testing and quality assurance 
  • Software maintenance and optimization 

The range of services you will need depends on your project scope. For example, a brain training mobile app might only need custom app development and maintenance. Meanwhile, a learning management system will require more comprehensive services and support, as it must have different dashboards for the student, teacher, and parent. It will also need to comply with your country’s educational regulations. 

Here are common types of educational apps with examples: 

  • Learning management systems (LMS): Canvas, Edmodo, Adobe Learning Manager 
  • Classroom apps: Class Dojo, Seesaw, Prodigy Education 
  • Test preparation apps: SAT Flashcards, IELTS Prep App, Professional Pocket Prep 
  • Reading and writing apps: AdaptedMind, Writing Wizard, HOMER 
  • Language learning apps: Duolingo, Babbel, Rosetta Stone 
  • Online courses: Coursera, edX, LinkedIn Learning 
  • Brain training apps: Elevate, Lumosity, Wordle 
  • Multipurpose learning apps: Khan Academy, Kahoot!, Skillshare 
  • Onboarding and Orientation apps: BambooHR, Absorb LMS, Rippling 
  • Corporate training apps: EduBrite, Udemy, Hoopla

What is the difference between education and eLearning apps?

The difference between an education app and an eLearning app is the structure. Although some use the terms interchangeably, eLearning applications are often tied to educational institutions, making them more formal in structure and scope. On the other hand, educational applications are broader in scale, as they can encompass anything from word games to LMS. 

Here is a table, showing the differences and similarities between eLearning and education apps: 

 Education applications eLearning applications 
Requires teacher-student interactions Not always Yes 
Follows a set curriculum or learning module Not always Yes 
Has to comply with educational regulations and policies Not always Yes 
Enables online learning YesYes 
Examples Duolingo, Coursera, Evernote Google Classroom, Edmodo, Zoom Education

While creating an educational app can be costly, it can also be profitable. In 2022, Chegg Study earned $766 million in revenue, making it the highest-earning education app globally. Additionally, the US education app industry generated $274 million in revenue in 2022. This is expected to increase further as the market grows. 

Why should you hire educational app developers?

You should hire educational app developers because they have the expertise and technology to produce high-quality apps within a reasonable timeline and budget. They also help ensure your app's long-term growth by making it scalable, improving the user experience, performing quality assurance, and implementing security measurements.  

Below are the specific benefits of hiring educational app developers: 

1. Specialized expertise 

An educational app requires more than technical expertise, it also requires in-depth industry knowledge of the education sector. This can range from knowing the different learning levels to understanding the technological capabilities of teachers. While this may come as readily available knowledge for experienced educational app developers, general app developers may have to conduct time-consuming industry research. 

Moreover, educational app developers may also hold instructional design certificates and other accreditations that allow them to tailor solutions to meet the unique requirements of educational institutions, learners, and instructors. 

For example, the educational app development company Appiventiv has over six years of experience in the education industry. So, when Vodafone India Foundation partnered with the agency to build the online learning platform Gurushala, it knew that the app should not only focus on students. The app also needed to engage teachers.   

That is why Appiventiv also included games and reward systems for both students and teachers when it created Gurushala. As a result, Vodafone India Foundation received $2.1 million in funds for the app and onboarded 150,000+ teachers and students onto Gurushala. 

2. Compliance with the latest policies  

Educational apps need extra security and accessibility measures compared to regular apps because children and people with specialized needs often use them. For example, compliance with the COPPA, ADA, and User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG) may be necessary. 

Educational apps must also follow the latest teaching and developmental learning principles, like the ISTE Standards. General app developers can easily miss these compliance measures. 

In contrast, educational app developers follow these guidelines and policies daily. Moreover, they often collaborate with educational institutions, industry partners, and accessibility to stay updated on the best practices. As such, you can be certain that your educational app complies with the latest educational technology policies and guidelines. 

For instance, X2 Mobile is part of the European EdTech Alliance and EIT Urban Mobility. Because of this, its educational apps have the advantage of using the latest educational and accessibility guidelines and being registered in the European EdTech ecosystem. 

3. Cross-platform development 

Small in-house app development teams have limited skills and often specialize in one platform or operating system. On the flip side, educational app development agencies will provide you with a wide range of talents.  

They’re also certified Android, iOS, and Windows developers. As such, they can ensure that your app functions on Android and iOS operating systems as well as on the desktop and website. 

One such example is Techugo. With expertise in Android, iOS, and web development, the educational app developer helped Sterkla become an accessible coaching platform. It developed intuitive mobile and web app platforms so customers can easily use the app from their mobile, tablet, and desktop. As a result, Sterkla gained 30,000+ downloads. 

4. Cost efficiency 

Having an in-house educational app development team can be more expensive than hiring an agency. That’s because you will have to invest in employee salary and training. Additionally, you will also need to buy the necessary technology, software, credentials, and other tools to build an educational app. For example, Apple requires an annual fee of $99 - $299 to distribute an app on its store. 

This can be quite expensive for an educational institution, as information technology makes up merely 4.9% of its annual spending. Plus, a community college’s IT department has less than 38 full-time staff members on average.  

When you hire an educational app developer, you do not have to worry about all these expenses, as they often offer a packaged rate for all their services. Their prices might be more affordable due to their supplier discounts. Other educational app developers can even scale their teams as your demands for IT services grow. 

5. Speed to market 

An in-house IT team may need a longer timeline to develop your app because they have other responsibilities. This includes maintaining your enrollment and financial systems and helping students, staff, and teachers with their daily IT issues. 

Meanwhile, educational app developers have streamlined the end-to-end process. They will also provide you with a dedicated team of experts. As such, you can experience faster development cycles and reduced time-to-market. 

How do you choose the best educational app developers?

You can choose the best educational app developer by following the steps below: 

  1. Project scope: Identify your educational app type, target audiences and their learning levels, features, and budget. 
  2. Technology: Understand the different technologies and platforms used for learning apps and choose the ones that best suit your target audiences. For example, educational institutions often use one type of operating system for the entire school. However, if you’re targeting more general audiences, you will need a multi-platform educational application. 
  3. Educational policies: Research on educational guidelines and policies that affect your target audiences. For example, Australia has national guidelines for screen time for children under the age of 17.  
  4. Experience: Search for educational app developers with the skills, experience, and tech stack that match your project scope. Educational app developers who have worked with projects like yours can give you valuable advice on how to improve your product.  
  5. Educational app developer location: Consider the educational app developer’s location. It is important to note that while offshore agencies have more affordable rates, they might not be as familiar with the educational laws in your country as inshore agencies. 
  6. Due diligence: Verify their credibility by checking their portfolio, case studies, and client testimonials and reviews. 
  7. Verification: Set up interviews with your shortlisted educational app development companies to see if they’re compatible with your team.  
  8. Budget: Send a request for a proposal (RFP) together with your project scope and timeline to your shortlisted educational app developers. 
  9. Selection: Choose the educational app development company and establish your project management process.
