FAQ - Questions about mobile development
What is a hybrid mobile application?
A hybrid mobile application is one that combines elements of both native and web development.
Unlike the native applications, which are specifically designed for a platform (like iOS with Swift/Objective-C or Android with Java/Kotlin), hybrid mobile apps use standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
These applications are encapsulated in a native container that allows them to run on different platforms.
At Terros, we are specialists in hybrid application development with React-Native.
How long does it take to develop a mobile app?
The required duration to develop a mobile application can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the application complexity, the required features, the target platforms, the available resources and the experience of the development team.
At Terros, we organize development to deliver successive versions of your mobile application on a regular basis, so as to reduce your product's time-to-market, while optimizing the budget by allocating it to the design of particularly useful features.
How to create a mobile application?
To create a mobile application, you need to start by clearly defining the idea and planning the development, taking into account the market and user needs. Identify the essential functionalities, create wireframes and design the graphic elements. Choose the appropriate development technology , code according to best practices, then test rigorously to correct any bugs.
Once testing has been successfully completed, it's time to deploy the app on app stores, announce the launch, gather user feedback and prepare for regular updates. Making sure to integrate analytics tools to understand user behavior and optimize the app over time is essential. The ongoing maintenance and responsiveness to user feedback are also important to ensure the long-term success of the application.
