Find the right app developer: what to check first
Most app projects that go wrong could have been saved by asking a few questions at the start. Before you hire anyone, check these:
- Be careful with very low fixed quotes. A quote far below everyone else usually means features were missed or corners will be cut.
- Make sure you will own everything. The code, the designs and the Google Play and App Store accounts should be in your name, not the developer's.
- Ask about support after launch. Phones and store rules change every year. Find out who fixes things after launch, and what it costs.
- Sign an NDA if your idea is sensitive. Any serious developer will sign one before you share the details.
- Get a written scope. A list of screens and features protects both sides and makes the quote meaningful.
We are happy to be checked against every point on this list.
