What kind of apps we make
Mobile App Development in PurpleSoft
Our team will guide you in choosing the type of mobile app development best suited to your needs.
Native App Development
App with excellent performance
Native apps are applications developed in the specific programming language of the operating system on which they are to be used. For example, a native iPhone or iPad app will be developed in Swift using Xcode, while a native Android app will be developed in Kotlin using Android Studio.
A native app interfaces directly with its reference operating system, allowing the full functionality of the device to be exploited and guaranteeing the best performance and user experience.
ADVANTAGES
Interaction with all components of the device.
Higher performance.
DISADVANTAGES
Longer app development time.
Higher app development costs.
Hybrid App Development
Quick app and lower costs!
Hybrid apps are generally written in HTML5 and Javascript. Thanks to the use of special technologies, such as the Ionic Framework, it is possible to integrate HTML and Javascript code within a 'native framework' so that the app can be used by both stores.
The definition "Hybrid" comes precisely from the fact that the app is created by combining a framework written in native language with web code written in HTML/JavaScript. The advantage of this type of app is the reduced development time compared to the native app since it is programmed once and with a widely used language.
ADVANTAGES
Minor app development costs.
Shorter app development times.
Ease and dissemination of the programming language.
DISADVANTAGES
Reduced performance
(compared to native and cross-platform apps).
Difficulties in integrating with the device's native components and/or peripherals.
App development
Cross-Platform
APPS WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE AND SHORTER DEVELOPMENT TIMES
Cross-platform apps are generally written in a language that varies according to the framework used for development. The most popular frameworks for mobile app development cross-platform are: Xamarin, Flutter and React Native.
The cross-platform definition derives from the fact that it is possible to compile the application for different operating systems using the same code. The advantages of this type of app are: reduced development time (as it is programmed only once) and high performance, which is very close to native apps.
ADVANTAGES
Shorter app development times.
High performance.
Uniform design across different operating systems.
DISADVANTAGES
Difficulties in integrating with particular device features and/or peripherals that require native code.
PWA App Development
Web-based apps
PWAs (progressive web apps) are mobile applications written in HTML5 and CSS languages that can be accessed and downloaded directly from the web and not from the stores of the Apple and Google platforms.
They work autonomously and are able to load pages instantly, both online and offline, by using the cache memory.
They are always updated because, when launched, they automatically display the latest version.
ADVANTAGES
Accessible and downloadable from the web.
Very short app development time and costs.
Need for less frequent updates.
DISADVANTAGES
Difficulties in integrating with device-specific functionalities.

What kind of app to choose?
Which type of app to choose?
The type of app depends primarily on your needs:
So the first step is to work together on an analysis of the needs and features required for your business, after which we will study the best solution taking into account budget, timeframe and specific needs.
We almost always recommend cross-platform mobile apps as they are the perfect compromise to reduce development time and costs while ensuring a bug-proof app with perfect graphics and high performance (almost native).
Even the big giants opt for this option: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are all cross-platform apps.
Rather than starting with an app that doesn’t meet your needs or has inadequate performance (such as hybrid) due to budget constraints, we will conduct a thorough analysis together to understand what you really need and start developing an app with the necessary and indisputable minimum functions.
If the application is really useful and receives a adequate feedback by the users, then you can start to add all the other features you want, this process is critical to developing an app that truly meets what the market demands and to making development agile and dynamic, ready to adjust and improve along the way.
Our advice is not to start building a bazooka and then use it against an ant because a trip to Ithaca or a Penelope’s web is the last thing you need.
Think carefully about the user flow and functionality of the app before starting development!
THE ADVANTAGES OF HAVING AN APP
Why choose to develop an APP?
To speed up and simplify business processes
If you need to speed up and simplify business processes, these are some of the functionalities that an app allows you to have:
Sending notifications to operators in the field or in production for real-time communication
Recording voice notes through the use of the device's microphone
Using the device's GPS to locate machinery or vehicles
Using the device's camera to scan barcodes or QR codes. Photographing damage or errors in the production line
Ability to leverage the portability of the device to easily and cost-effectively set up new workstations.
To sell online
If you want to sell online these are some of the main reasons why you should have an app:
To improve
experience
of your customers
The apps are specially designed for smartphones, are faster, easier to use and accessible even without a stable internet connection.
To grow
loyalty
of your customers
Apps are always visible on the home screen of the user's phone. Being "tap-friendly" increases the likelihood of customer interaction.
To stand out
from
competition
At the small and medium business level they are still rare, differentiate yourself from your competitors and revolutionize your brand reputation!

How do we develop an app?
Our Mobile App Development Process:
our step by step working method
With us, we first define the functionality and goals to be achieved.
Immediately afterwards, we move on to user experience and user interface design.
The database, web api and server-side third-party services are designed.
Tests are performed to check the reliability of the database and backend.
We start to develop the App User Interface (mobile, tablet)
Client-side web api and third-party services get integrated.
We start to test if the application is correctly working.
The application is released in beta to a small group of testers.
Routine maintenance for iOS/Android version updates and third-party libraries.
