How do I choose the right app development company?

Look at relevant experience, past projects, technical expertise, communication, and post-launch support. The company should also understand your business goals and target users.

What should I look for in an app development company’s portfolio?

Check whether they have built apps similar to yours and review the usability, design quality, and functionality of their work. Pay attention to projects in your industry or with comparable technical requirements.

What track record should I look for in an app development company?

Ask for launch counts, instead of project counts. An app development company that has shipped dozens of live apps has already solved App Store review, retention, and post-launch iteration. Designli, for example, lists more than 200 product launches and traces its process back to Applits, an app studio its founders ran before the agency existed.
