FAQs: Mobile App Development in Chennai

How much does it cost to develop a mobile app in Chennai?

The cost varies significantly based on complexity, features, platform (Native vs. Cross-Platform), and design requirements. We provide transparent, detailed project quotes after a thorough discovery session to understand your specific needs. 

What is the difference between native and cross-platform development?

Native Development involves building separate apps for iOS (using Swift) and Android (using Kotlin). It offers superior performance, seamless UX, and full access to device hardware but typically has a higher cost and longer timeline.

Cross-Platform Development uses frameworks like Flutter or React Native to build a single codebase that runs on both platforms. It's more cost-effective and faster to market but may have slight limitations with highly complex, graphics-intensive apps. We guide you to the best approach for your goals.

How do you ensure the app is secure and protects user data?

Security is paramount. We implement industry-best practices, including:

  • Data Encryption: Encrypting data at rest and in transit using SSL/TLS protocols.
  • Secure Authentication: Implementing OAuth, JWT tokens, and biometric logins (Touch ID, Face ID).
  • Code Obfuscation: Protecting the app from reverse engineering.
  • Regular Security Audits: Conducting penetration testing and vulnerability assessments.
  • Compliance: Ensuring adherence to relevant data protection regulations like GDPR for global apps.

Can you help with publishing our app on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store?

Absolutely. Our service is end-to-end. We handle the entire process, including:

  • Preparing all necessary assets (icons, screenshots, descriptions).
  • Ensuring the app meets all of Apple and Google's stringent design and policy guidelines.
  • Submitting the app and managing the review process until it is successfully published.

What if I need to update or add new features to the app after launch?

We offer flexible ongoing maintenance and support plans. You can engage with us on a monthly or project basis for:

  • Adding new features and functionality.
  • Ensuring compatibility with the latest iOS and Android OS updates.
  • Providing bug fixes and performance enhancements.
  • Offering 24/7 monitoring and support.

Do you work with startups that have just an idea?

Yes, we specialize in transforming ideas into successful products. We begin with a Discovery and Strategy Workshop to help you validate your idea, define the core features (MVP - Minimum Viable Product), and create a roadmap for development that aligns with your budget and vision.

How do you handle communication and project updates during development?

We believe in complete transparency. You will have a dedicated project manager and a direct line to the development team. We use tools like Jira, Trello, or Asana for task tracking and provide regular updates through:

  • Weekly sprint meetings and demo calls.
  • Daily/weekly status reports.
  • Direct access to communication channels like Slack or Microsoft Teams.

Will the app be scalable to handle future growth in users?

Yes, scalability is a core architectural principle for us. We build apps with a scalable backend infrastructure (often on cloud platforms like AWS or Azure) that can automatically handle a surge in users, transactions, and data volume without compromising performance.

Can you show us examples of apps you've built or case studies?

Certainly. We have an extensive portfolio of successful projects across various industries. We can provide detailed case studies that outline the client's challenge, our solution, the technologies used, and the measurable results achieved

What is your policy on intellectual property (IP) ownership?

Upon final payment, you retain 100% ownership of the source code, design, and all intellectual property related to the project. We provide all assets and sign any necessary IP transfer agreements.
