Mobiles are the most widely used gadgets in today’s world. The majority of smartphone users in the world use a shopping or retail app for making transactions. In this scenario, having a mobile app is essential to tap into new revenue streams. If your business doesn’t have a mobile app, you could be missing out on some great opportunities.

If you want to offer your customers an intriguing mobile app that facilitates easy sale and purchase of products as well as safe transactions, you need to hire an experienced developer who can custom build it. However, you cannot hire just anyone. Here are 5 things you must consider before hiring an android app development company:

1. Work samples

Experienced candidates with excellent track record should readily provide you with a list of apps they have created personally, or have played a major role in the development process. The list should be complete with whether the apps are for iOS, BlackBerry or Android.

It will help you gauge whether they have the required skills, experience and vision to help you build the kind of apps you are looking out for.

2. References

While you have sources to read movie credits, there’s typically no way to tell who actually developed an app.Speaking directly with company’s current and former clients can solve this purpose. This way, you would be able to know the company has actually created the app as they have claimed.

Checking references also provides you with an opportunity to ask how responsible, reliable, flexible and result-oriented the team is. You can also ask them whether they delivered on time, within budget, and how efficiently they worked under pressure.

3. Mode of communication

Of course, you would want to keep a close tab on the entire development process. And, this is essential to establish if your app is being developed as you have expected. Ask them about their preferred mode of communication – whether they would like to chat in person via phone, instant message, Skype or email. Some popular project and task management systems can also prove useful for this. Also, ask them how often they would provide you with a status update. Regular and timely updates would help you keep a close tab on the entire Android app development process.

4. Payment terms and conditions

It is always better to draft a written agreement specifying what you will have to pay for the app. In most cases, you have to pay a portion of the fee upfront; sometimes, full payment in advance. Some companies require a deposit in the beginning (a portion of the estimated total cost), and rest of the payment in different stages, as the work progresses.

The cost of development of complicated apps and 3-D gaming apps would be a lot higher than a simple app. Therefore, you should better talk about the cost of Android application development service before beginning.

5. The ownership and final submission of the app to app stores

Typically, the company who pays for the app will own the final product. So, if you are paying for it, you have to make sure that the ownership right belongs to you only. To be on safer side, sign a contract that establishes your ownership, maintains confidentiality and states that you the app’s design, code and all of its content belongs to you only.

The last step is the submission of app to be app store. You must ensure that the company and its team knows how to proceed for this multistep process after Android apps development.

Discuss all other things with the potential developer to ensure there remains no conflicts and the work goes smooth, undisputedly.
