At imangu, we have been making apps since the technology emerged and along the way we have refined our process to make successful apps.

Native

Duration

1-12 weeks

Customer | Project Manager | Native Developers

A Native App is an app that has been developed specifically for the operating system running on the device.

+ Best performance (load time, battery consumption, etc.),

+ Full flexibility in terms of technologies, functions and system integrations.

+ The app works offline.

+ Full access to the device's other functions (e.g. camera; GPS; other installed Apps).

+ Access to a huge global community of developers and open source technologies

+ Independent of third-party frameworks and licenses

+ Most flexible, stable and best future-proof solution.

- Requires specialists within both iOS and Android and development is therefore more resource-intensive.

iOS

Duration

1-12 weeks

Customer | Project Manager | iOS Developers

We start out by making a detailed project plan. This plan includes technical requirements, wireframes of the entire app, 2 to 3 proposals for the design, and a detailed overview of development tasks and time consumption.

Android

Duration

1-12 weeks

Development starts after planning and design are approved by you. The development phase is managed by the same project manager who made the technical planning and will follow you throught he entire project.

Through our project management system, you will be able to follow the development closely and you will soon start to receive builds of the app, that you can test on your own smart phone. Any changes or issues, you can easily report through our project management system. All questions or requests are assigned to your project manager at imangu.

Hybrid

Customer | Project Manager | Developers

Xamarin is a so-called Hybrid framework, which makes it possible to use 90% of the same code for both iOS and Android. That is that in practice only one app must be developed, which with a few native adjustments can be done on both types of devices. Xamarin is an open source tool based on the Microsoft .NET framework, and the code language is thus C#. Xamarin apps are developed at imangu by experts, supplemented by our native development team.

+ Almost meets Native performance, as long as heavy graphics are not used.

+ Offline functionality.

+ Fewer development hours than with Native.

+ Access to the device's other Apps.

- High licenses for Enterprises.

- Less flexibility due to a smaller community of developers.

- Challenges in scaling and recruitment.

- Significantly fewer open-source resources/technologies available.

- The app takes up more space and is less stable on average.

- Delayed updates operating system related adjustments.

- Full dependency on third party system.

React

Duration

1-12 weeks

imangu’s team

Customer | Project Manager | React Developers

React Native is Facebook's hybrid framework for app development, which uses JavaScript and JSX. As with Xamarin, only one app must therefore be developed for the two operating systems iOS and Android. However, native adjustments are still needed for each platform. React Native apps are developed at imangu by experts, supplemented by our native development team.

+ Almost meets Native performance for simple apps.

+ Offline functionality

+ Fewer development hours than Native

+ Access to the device's other Apps

- Poor performance and stability with demanding functions/calculations and heavy graphics.

- Lower security due to a JavaScript based library

- Delayed updates operating system related adjustments.

- Full dependence on third-party systems and thus the Facebook Group's rules.
