IOT App Development

There are more connected things than people in the world; home automation, smart devices, automobile excellence, transportation, and even governments. Connection via the internet of things can optimise the world!

How Can I Succeed?

IOT app development is at the intersection of hardware and software. At Appetiser, we’ve learnt that the key to success often lies in simplicity and convenience. Give your users the ability to change the room temperature via their smartphone, and you’ve got yourself a gimmick. Give your users the ability to automatically adjust the room temperature based on the weather forecast, and you’ve got a winning feature. If you can save users a few minutes of discomfort each day, you’re onto something good.

If you want to succeed, ask yourself the following questions:

What’s the benefit?

Everything has an app nowadays, but that’s no reason for you to invest. A smart oven that tells you the temperature isn’t anything new, but an oven that you can pre-heat before arriving at home is! When diving into IOT app development, keep focused on the user benefits to create something that really sticks.

How far can I take this?

Your imagination is the only limit of connectivity. Each connection in isolation creates value, but only the entire system working together is truly special. Maximising the benefit of every single connection available to you is your key to success.

Can others benefit?

A connected world is of benefit to everyone; use this to your advantage. Sustainability, improving infrastructure, and optimising smart environments can help your user, but also governments and investment-friendly organisations. You’re opening the doors to funding for your project or reducing production costs that can be reinvested into growth.

What Does My IOT App Need?

Exceptional Designs & User Experience

We’ve all been there, download the app that comes with your new home device, and prepare yourself for a difficult time. Just signing up can be confusing, and that isn’t your fault. At Appetiser, we’ve found that most IOT apps are underutilised because users don’t understand them. Partner with the product design team in rated 7th in the world and 1st in Australia (rated independently) and benefit from happy users!

Direct Communication

The quality of your IOT app is determined by its weakest link; engineering, software, hardware, or design. For a truly immersive experience, each one has to work hand in hand. That’s why you’ll be talking directly to your app developers and designers rather than any middlemen. Don’t miss out!

Industry Leading Security

It’s great when your phone unlocks your car, but not so great when your neighbour’s phone can do it too. Security is often neglected or seen as a non-necessity, but if you’re serious about your IOT app, then industry leading security is the only way to go. At Appetiser, we’ve successfully built infrastructure for electric cars and smart devices, and you can benefit from our previous experience.

Australian Ballet Star Finds Startup Success and 10k Downloads in Week One.

Claudia is a former dancer of the Royal Ballet. She trained at the Royal Ballet School and graduated in the Royal Ballet Company, one of only six Australian dancers ever to achieve this honour. She came to us with a vision for an app that would reflect her status in the world of dance and help other train to get the skills they need. We worked hard to understand what made Claudia special and designed her app to embody those ideals. Our combined efforts paid off: the ballet training app saw 10,000 downloads in the first week, trending status, and 4.9-star rating from over 200 reviews on the Apple App Store at launch.

Pioneering Aged Care Communication

BarbCare was founded by Louise and David Harris after Louise's mother started feeling isolated at the care home she lived in. Their idea was for a communication tool to keep aged care residents, families and carers connected. The startup is now making a difference in people lives across Australia and is the first app of its kind anywhere in the world.

After working with Appetiser, Barbcare’s aged care platform was able to partner with Bupa within months of launch.

I’ve worked with several other app development companies on various projects and Appetiser stands head and shoulders above them all.

Initial designs and prototypes were produced very quickly and they were fantastic. Development updates come through weekly, we’re very happy with the first version of our app. Michael’s knowledge and experience are invaluable and we’re looking forward to continuing our app journey with Appetiser.
