With people now using smartphones more than desktops or laptops to access the internet, and with app usage on the increase, it could be a good time to invest in a mobile app.

Mobile App Development

There’s no question that a strategically conceived mobile app can reap massive rewards when it comes to engaging with your customers or users, but with most people expecting a mobile app to be easier to use than a website or desktop application, it’s important that it’s up to scratch – and that’s where we step in.One Beyond is an award-winning mobile app development company, with expertise in creating mobiles apps for iOS and Android. We’ll help you not only envisage the concept behind the mobile app, but provide a complete focus on the user-experience, as well as building a world-class software product that is fit for purpose and can scale as your business and user-base grows.

Must have features for a mobile app

  • Intrinsic Intuitiveness
    People don’t like unwieldy complexity at the best of times, even less so on a small screen. We’ll help make sure your app makes a current process simpler, otherwise people won’t use it.
  • Engaging UX
    This is closely related with simplicity; if the app doesn’t have a great user experience and make it easier for the customer to do something, then no-one’s going to use it more than once.
  • Fast App Load Speed
    In an age of real-time, if your new app doesn’t load and react within milliseconds, people will move on to the next one.
  • Scalability
    When your app “goes viral” you need to be sure it has been built for scale. For example, One Beyond’s project “Hospify” was built for millions of users, and with widespread adoption across the NHS, One Beyond has ensured the product lived up to its promise.

 

What are the benefits of a mobile app?

It’s important to us that you get the right app for your needs, objectives and budget. So why build an app?

  • Interactivity
    Native apps can be built to interact with all the features that the phone offers like accelerometer, the camera and GPS.
  • Fewer Limitations
    They aren’t limited by a browser and can be used offline.
  • Better User Experience
    Mobile apps load and function quicker and more smoothly than mobile browsers or desktop computers.
  • Stickiness
    When using a mobile app, visitors tend to spend 3-4 times longer online than they would using a mobile site.
  • Wide Reach
    Your app will reside on the Apple App Store and Google Play, so you’ll automatically be getting your app in front of people whose intent is to download an app.

Sometimes the question isn’t whether a mobile app is better than a web app, or vice versa, therefore we also offer the option of a hybrid app which contains a mixture of both mobile and web app functionality.

Mobile app technology

At One Beyond, we strive for efficiency and value for money for our clients. It’s alien to us to build the same app twice to cater for Android and iOS, so we solve that with cross-platform development.

As a Microsoft Gold Partner, we can use development toolkit called Xamarin that allows us to “write once” in .NET and C# and deploy to Android and iOS. Our solution means that we can write apps that interact with the phone or tablet hardware – for example, the camera, flash, accelerometer, bluetooth and so on – thereby developing genuine native mobile applications created specifically for the targeted platform. The benefit for you is quick, cost-effective development. Some our clients prefer to solve the “write once” problem by using a Javascript solution and One Beyond has a great deal of experience with React Native.

The skillset we’ve had access to is very comprehensive – beyond experienced mobile developers, we’ve been able to call on talented designers, software architecture, graphic design, QA and problem – solving skills Read more.
