iPad App Development Company Hiring Guide

What is an iPad app development company?

An iPad app development company is a software development agency that specializes in building customized applications for Apple’s iPad devices. These companies oversee the entire app development process, ensuring that the end product meets the project requirements, provides seamless user experiences, and complies with Apple’s regulations.

As part of their comprehensive services, iPad app development companies tackle the following challenges to help businesses succeed:

  • Limited in-house capabilities
  • Crashing and slow-loading apps
  • Low user engagement and high user churn rate
  • Legacy app that no longer functions with the latest iPad model and operating system
  • Inability to obtain Apple’s App Store approval
  • Transforming Android apps for iOS devices, specifically iPads
  • Frequent cybersecurity incidents across existing apps

Apple shipped over 12 million tablets in Q2 of 2024, generating $7.16 billion in revenue. Despite fierce competition, particularly from Samsung, the iPad still commands a 30% market share. This prominence underscores the importance of specialized iPad app development companies, emphasizing their role in effectively tapping into this vast market.

Success story

Considering iPad’s market dominance, an iPad app development company can be pivotal in creating a competitive edge for greater distinction. One such example is when partnered with Diffco.

  • Challenge: SRG approached Diffco to create an innovative loyalty program app for mobile gamers, wherein they can earn cryptocurrency tokens while playing their favorite games.
  • Solution: Because of the app’s complexity, Diffco dedicated expert teams for each component, including the backend, admin panel, blockchain platform, and iOS app. After the foundation was set, the agency implemented secure and easy-to-use user dashboard and wallet, a partner games catalog, and a financial reporting functionality. The solution also featured a partner interface showcasing relevant user statistics and an SRG Scanner that provided information about blockchain activities.
  • Results: SRG witnessed a successful app launch, garnering downloads beyond initial expectations. Following the lucrative collaboration, the company continued to work with Diffco for its global strategy.

What do iPad app development companies do?

iPad app development companies design, create, optimize, and maintain applications tailored to align with the product line’s various screen sizes and frameworks. They are proficient with the iPad’s multitouch interface and hardware as well as Apple’s unique operating system and technological ecosystem.

Services offered by iPad app development companies include:

  • Competitive analysis and research 
    Analyzing the market and competitors' apps to identify gaps and opportunities. These insights inform the app's design and strategy, ensuring it stands out in the marketplace.
  • App ideation and conceptualization 
    Brainstorming with the client to flesh out the details and goals for the app. This includes researching the end users of the app, specifying the features and look of the app, and developing a product development roadmap.
  • Custom app development
    Developing the front-end and back-end code for the app according to the previously defined design and specifications. This includes handling data, implementing server-side logic, setting up databases, and creating the application programming interface (API).
  • User interface (UI)/user experience (UX) design 
    Designing a user-friendly and visually pleasing interface that is both attractive and easy to use. This involves creating initial sketches, building prototypes, developing design guidelines, and selecting appropriate colors, fonts, and layouts.
  • App testing and quality assurance (QA) 
    Conducting rigorous tests to ensure the apps are free from bugs and glitches and function smoothly, providing users with a reliable and consistent experience.
  • App Store optimization and submission 
    Optimizing the app's listing with engaging descriptions, screenshots, and relevant keywords. These adjustments are performed to ensure the app meets all of Apple's submission guidelines and gains high visibility in the App Store.
  • Maintenance and updates 
    Fixing emerging issues, adding new features, and optimizing the app to remain compatible and functional with the latest iPad models and iOS features.

Success story

To showcase how these services play out in real-world scenarios, we’ve selected a case study from iPad app development company HDWEBSOFT.

  • Challenge: Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, an organization reached out to HDWEBSOFT, requesting a survey app that gathers user health information. However, due to the virus’s virulence, the client wanted a solution that didn’t require users to touch the device.
  • Solution: HDWEBSOFT developed an iPad survey app with hand-tracking technology as a foundation so users can point their fingers to buttons on the screen to answer questions without touching the device. For instance, they could point to the corners for yes/no commands or to return to the previous question. Moreover, the app was upgraded to recognize voice commands and inform users when fingers cannot be tracked.
  • Results: The app introduced a safer way to physically conduct surveys and collect customer data. Additionally, the integration of voice commands and hand-tracking technology improved user accessibility and accuracy, even in environments where physical contact was highly discouraged.

How much do iPad app development services cost?

iPad app development services can cost between $10,000 to over $250,000. The final cost is influenced by the complexity of features, API integrations, UI/UX design, third-party integrations, security requirements, backend infrastructure, app maintenance, and the agency’s location. Additional services, such as cross-platform development, impact the overall app development service costs.

Depending on the app’s complexity, here is the breakdown of prices you can expect to pay:

Complexity Characteristics
Simple apps ($10,000-$50,000)
  • Have one to two core features
  • Use simple UI/UX design and back-end
  • Can be completed within 1-3 months
Medium-complexity apps ($50,000-$150,000)
  • Have a custom UI/UX design with multiple backend integrations and interconnected functions
  • May include API integrations and functionalities for in-app purchases
  • Can be completed between 4 to7 months
Complex apps (Above $150,000)
  • Harness machine learning algorithms, augmented reality, real-time data processing, and advanced analytics
  • Feature extensive API integrations

The top 50 iPad app development companies on DesignRush charge an average hourly rate of $62. 10.5% of the companies accept projects under $1,000, offering a cost-effective option for startups, small businesses, and organizations with simple app projects. Comparatively, 3.6% of the companies accept projects with a $50,000 minimum budget, providing expertise for more complex iPad app projects.

Why should I hire an iPad app development company?

You should hire an iPad app development company because it can provide expertise and advanced tools and technologies to elevate your app's performance and user experience. This decision can be the difference between creating an app that stands out in the crowded marketplace and the one that goes unnoticed.

You should hire an iPad app development company because they:

  • Provide access to professional tools, software, and licenses required for iPad app development, which might be expensive or time-consuming for individuals or businesses to acquire on their own
  • Improve user experience, engagement, and retention by releasing quality apps
  • Streamline the development process and speed the time-to-market for product release
  • Prevent app issues, bugs, glitches, and security incidents through rigorous QA testing
  • Ensure that your app is scalable and future-ready by continuously improving it and making it compatible with the latest iPad models and iOS versions
  • Are familiar with Apple’s security policies and can ensure the app remains compliant
  • Can use Apple’s ecosystem to your advantage by releasing apps that complement Apple’s design guidelines

Success story

To illustrate the benefits arising from partnering with iPad app developers, we’ve selected the following case study:

  • Challenge: Non-profit organization Scalpel at the Cross partnered with EffectiveSoft to create a new EMR (electronic medical record) system. Due to a slow and buggy system, the organization experienced inefficiencies and numerous data loss incidents, which impeded its medical volunteer operations across remote areas of Peru.
  • Solution: Understanding that these doctors frequently travel to locations without internet access, EffectiveSoft developed the EMR as an iPad app with a corresponding admin panel location server. The app was designed to grant doctors access to patient information and automatically sync with the admin panel once they’re within the same wireless network. Moreover, the HIPAA-compliant app contains complete patient records, inventory management of medical equipment and tools, and a surgery planner.
  • Results: With the iPad app, Scalpel at the Cross was enabled to provide more accurate and comprehensive diagnostics, improve collaboration among doctors, and enhance patient data security.

How do I choose the best iPad app development company for my business?

Choosing the best iPad development company for your business requires careful consideration to ensure the selected partner can cater to your unique demands, budget, and objectives.

To make the right decision, follow these steps:

  1. Define your app's purpose 
    Understand what you want your iPad app to achieve. Knowing your goals will help you communicate your vision to potential developers.
  2. Gather pegs 
    List the apps you want to emulate, identifying the parts of the app that you want to take inspiration from, such as the UI/UX, functionality, or graphic design.
  3. Define project scope 
    Outline your project goals, key performance indicators (KPIs), target users, and timelines. Also, specify the features, integrations, technologies, and platforms you want to include in your app.
  4. Define your budget 
    Set a realistic budget for your project, considering its complexity, timeline, and required level of expertise. Explore potential pricing models to determine the best option for your allotted budget.
  5. Research for potential partners and ask for referrals 
    To find reputable agencies, explore credible agency directories like DesignRush, marketplaces, and publications. You can also ask colleagues and business partners for referrals.
  6. Verify their credibility 
    Review the agency’s case studies, ratings on the Apple Store, client testimonials and reviews, and certificates and awards. Look for iPad app developers who are transparent and responsive.
  7. Examine their past portfolio 
    Check the agency’s past iPad app projects and search for apps in your industry or with similar features. An agency with a track record in similar projects will likely be a good fit.
  8. Inquire about their tech stack 
    Because Apple's operating system is specific to the brand, an iPad developer must be proficient in Apple-exclusive programming tools like Swift, Objective-C, and XCode. They must also have experience in Objective C, C++, Java, Python and data formats like JSON.
  9. Assess their iPad development approach 
    Analyze their methodology, which is often explained on their websites. Prioritize agencies that are transparent about their approach, offer quality assurance testing and post-development support, and implement stringent security measures.
  10. Request proposals  
    Once you've shortlisted potential companies, ask for detailed requests for proposal (RFPs). Compare their strategies, projected timelines, and costs, and select those that offer the most value for money.
  11. Conduct interviews  
    Validate the agency’s expertise by asking for details on their specific approach to your project and inquire about their communication and project management style. Observe how they interact with you and your team, and choose agencies that align with your vision and values.
  12. Select your agency 
    Negotiate specific deliverables, payment terms, deadlines, and terms of contract. Have a legal advisor review the contract to ensure that your business is protected in the case of contract termination.
