How does a cross-platform app operate?

Cross-platform apps have a single codebase we use to build applications adapted to different web and mobile operating systems and devices. Since the code is shared, engineers don't have to rebuild the app for each separate platform.

What cross-platform app development services do you offer?

Our cross-platform application development services include product discovery, UX/UI design, prototype and MVP creation, software testing, custom development, and support. We cover the full spectrum of engineering services, so you may contact us with any development request.

Why are cross-platform apps better than native?

Cross-platform apps are not generally "better" or "worse" than native, they just have different functionality and capabilities. Overall, cross-platform apps may be a better solution for apps that don't heavily rely on specific functionality of devices and have more basic features.

When to choose cross-platform apps over native solutions?

Cross-platform development is an optimum approach if you want to build one app for iOS and Android devices or have a limited budget and resources. Since such apps have a single codebase, the engineering process is more optimized than native app development.

Can you migrate a cross-platform or hybrid mobile app to a native one?

Technically, the migration is possible but the feasibility of such a decision is questionable. If you want to switch from a cross-platform mobile app to native or vice versa, contact us for consulting. Our top engineers will evaluate your case to determine whether migration will pay off.

What are the limitations of cross-platform apps?

Slower performance, limited access to native features of mobile devices, and poor UI consistency are the main disadvantages of cross-platform apps compared to their native counterparts. Yet cross-platform engineering capabilities may be perfectly enough for your case if you want a simple lightweight app.

Do you provide team extension services?

Yes, we offer the cross-platform app development service through two core cooperation models: team extension and dedicated team. You can ask us to supply you with qualified candidates for your in-house team or assemble a remote team for you.

Do you keep supporting apps after the release?

Yes, we provide comprehensive maintenance services for all software we develop. Our team can also assist you with software support if you have a legacy solution and want to outsource its maintenance. We will update the app, implement performance monitoring, and make security enhancements.

How does cross-platform development cut expenses?

While with native solutions, engineers need to create two separate mobile apps for iOS and Android, which doubles expenses, cross-platform mobile apps operate based on a single codebase. High reusability means development takes less time and, hence, is more cost-effective.

Do you provide free consulting before the project starts?

Yes, you can fill out the contact form at the page bottom or click the Get in touch button to schedule a consulting session. Our team will answer your questions regarding our services and advise on further product development.

Advantages of cross-platform development

Code reusability

Cross-platform frameworks enable engineers to create a single codebase supported across multiple platforms and avoid writing separate code for each app version. Code reusability optimizes repetitive tasks and reduces the size of the codebase.

Faster development

It is generally considered that cross-platform applications take 30% less time to develop than native solutions. Hence, you can release your app much faster, a tangible advantage in the highly competitive tech market.

Cost-efficiency

Cross-platform app development may be less expensive than building separate apps for each platform, and maintenance costs are also lower for the same reason. That's why cross-platform apps may be an optimal choice if you have a limited budget.

Rapid prototyping

Cross-platform technologies allow engineers to build a prototype to test the app across platforms quickly, gather feedback, and improve the product. This way, you can refine your idea before investing more resources into development.

Easy maintenance

A single codebase means you make updates, changes, and testing only once. It considerably saves resources and minimizes downtime, making your app operate well across all mobile and web platforms without disruptions.

Broader target audience

Having a universal app allows you to reach audiences that use different devices and, therefore, make your services available to more people. It will allow you to increase your market share and attract more users.
