Find the right app developer: what to check first
We would rather you hire well than hire us. Use this checklist with every developer you talk to:
- Agree how you will communicate. Settle on a weekly call, a chat channel and one point of contact before work starts.
- Sign an NDA if your idea is sensitive. Any serious developer will sign one before you share the details.
- Pay by milestone. Avoid paying everything upfront. Pay for each stage after you have seen it working.
- Ask about support after launch. Phones and store rules change every year. Find out who fixes things after launch, and what it costs.
- 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 us about any of these on your first call.
