Appetiser App Developer FAQs

What is Appetiser?

Appetiser is an award-winning web and mobile app development company with a global presence across Melbourne, Sydney, and New York. Across four continents, we have a team of 200+ experts passionate about helping our global customers build and grow successful apps. As an Australian app developer, we created some of the biggest mobile applications, including MyDeal, Youfoodz, and Vello.

What types of apps do you build?

Mobile apps. These apps are made for mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches. The devices typically run Android or iOS.

iOS apps. These are mobile apps built specifically for iOS devices, such as iPhones, Apple Watch and iPads.

Android apps. These are mobile apps created specifically for Android devices, such as Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy.

Web apps. Web applications are software users can access through the internet without being installed on a computer or mobile device. A web app is a website with custom functionality.

Custom apps. Custom web or mobile app development involves building apps outside standard conventions to meet specific business objectives or needs.

Hybrid apps. These mobile apps function across multiple platforms and can be found in Android and iOS app stores.

Native apps. A native app is an app developed specifically for one specific operating system, often iOS or Android.

What web or mobile technology do you use to build apps?

We use Swift (iOS), Kotlin (Android), and React Native for mobile app development. For web development, we use Laravel (PHP) and Vue.JS. These technologies are among the most stable and supported in the world.

Why should I choose Appetiser over other app development companies?

When you judge app development companies, you want to judge their portfolio. We have a dozen companies that went from 0 to over 100 million in revenue, and we have helped larger enterprises 10x their revenue through technology. Rather than hoping that you will be someone’s first real success story, you should pick an app development company that has created results.

We create repeatable success by hiring the best mobile app developers, web developers, and app designers in the world. We then use all the app development data across our client range to repeat our custom success formula — and we can back this claim with proven success stories. In fact, we are more than happy to connect you with previous clients who have chosen us as their Melbourne app developer if you’re looking for feedback.

How do you ensure alignment with your client's goals when you're building mobile apps?

You have a direct line of communication with your mobile app development team, which, depending on your app’s size and requirements, includes at least one project manager working closely with your iOS or Android developers, your tester, your app designer, and your product manager to achieve your goals.

Are all your app developers in Melbourne?

We’ve focused on hiring the top 1% of global engineering talent in Australia and four other continents (Americas, Asia, and Europe). Our elite roster of app developers includes former Samsung, Google, and Apple engineers. Having a powerhouse of global talent has empowered us to gain recognition as the leading app developer in Australia.

How long does web and mobile app development often take?

Your mobile and web development timeframe may vary greatly depending on various factors, including and especially your app’s complexity.

We can only provide you with an estimated timeline after thoughtfully scoping your web, iOS, or Android development project’s features and requirements. The general rule of thumb is the more complex your mobile or web app’s features, the longer the time of development.

Fortunately, Appetiser understands how important speed to market is in the app industry. We’ve developed an exclusive Appetiser IP that enables us to perform native app development twice as fast as any competitors we’ve come across. This means our average project can be launched in less than 3 months of development. 

Speed to market is among the many factors that set our web and mobile app development services apart.

How much does an app development project cost?

The cost of your app development project will depend on a range of factors dictated primarily by your app’s complexity.

As a growth-focused app business, Appetiser enables our partners to bring their app ideas to life at a fraction of the cost of full development.

Our app development process always starts with the design stage, where we build you a functional and iterative prototype you can use to gain valuable market insights and funding. But we don’t stop here. Appetiser also helps individuals, startups, and businesses through coaching and mentoring to raise funding for their app designs and app development.

How important is design in app development?

When your future users search for your app on the App Store, you will need to convince them within seconds to download your app. This means a strong app design will win you more customers.

Without thoughtful design considerations, your product can quickly become confusing for users and difficult for you to manage. Appetiser’s experienced web and mobile app designers know that taking the time to carefully plan each app’s design is well worth the effort in producing an effective and successful mobile application for you.

To survive the competitive industry, your app must offer a streamlined user experience, meet customer expectations, and make a memorable first impression. Making a standout design in web or mobile app development is important. In the past, Appetiser has doubled business revenue through industry-leading design.
