Our in-depth insights on building successful apps
Apps are a powerful way to connect with your customers, build trust, and foster long-term relationships. Whether you need a simple or complex solution, we develop apps that drive business growth and starry customer satisfaction.
Choosing a commercial plan for your app
When starting an app project, it's important to consider your business model, as it impacts your technology choices. We'll help you align your idea, budget, and goals with monetization strategies like subscriptions, in-app purchases, or ads. With plenty of options, we’ll guide you through the best choices for your app.
MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
Starting with an MVP is a great way to kick off your mobile app development project. It's basically the simplified version of your app, including only your 3-5 most essential features. Creating an MVP allows us to test your idea, gather feedback, and validate the product before going all in.
Native apps
When it comes to choosing your approach, native apps offer the best user experience and performance, giving you full control over the smallest of details. Native apps are separately developed for iOS or Android, available for download on the App Store and Google Play.
Native apps utilize device-specific features like location, face recognition, and Bluetooth. If you want stunning animations and advanced features, native is your choice. Benefits of native apps also include a platform-specific look-and-feel, easier maintenance, and great security.
"I'm motivated by knowing that the code I write is making a positive impact on the end-users' daily digital life."
Valtteri Puonti, Senior Software EngineerWeb apps
Web apps can be accessed through a web browser on any device, such as phones, tablets, or computers. Since they don’t need to be installed, users always enjoy the latest version and updates in real time. Web apps offer easy maintenance and a lower price tag.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are a type of web app that offer native-like features, such as offline access, push notifications, and the ability to be "installed" on a user's home screen. They are fast, reliable, and function even without an internet connection.
Hybrid apps
Hybrid apps take it up a notch from PWAs – they're a true mix of native and web. Available in app stores, they can access some device features like the camera. Hybrid apps are built with web technologies but look and feel like native apps.
Mobile app development frameworks
An app development framework is a pre-built software platform that provides tools and libraries for building applications more efficiently. It helps developers create consistent apps across different devices and platforms.
A major trend in app development is the use of so-called silver bullet platforms like React Native and Flutter. These cross-platform frameworks enable our developers to write a single codebase for both iOS and Android, simplifying prototyping and saving you time and money. With React Native, you can also use web developers for building apps.
Mobile payments
In today's world, mobile payments play a big role in your app’s success. Easy in-app purchases and smooth shopping experiences are key in keeping your customers happy and minimizing failed transactions. We specialize in mobile payments and can assist you with anything you need. We use secure methods like tokenization, biometric authentication, and digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay to simplify your payments.
"I’m happy when I can help customers improve their business through payment optimization."
Sami Nurmi, Senior consultant, PaymentsHosting and management
With reliable app management, you can relax knowing your mobile channel is always updated and monitored 24/7. We ensure stable, secure operation while proactively enhancing performance and identifying potential issues before they arise.
App development timeline
Wondering how long it takes to build an app? It depends on your app's complexity. Building the first version could take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. For more complex apps, that's where continuous development begins. We’re here to adjust the scope and timeline to meet your business needs.
App development cost
One of our most common questions is, "How much does it cost to build an app?" The cost varies based on complexity. While a simple app may cost around 20,000€, a more sophisticated app with custom UI can range from 50,000€ to 80,000€. For real-time features and multiple integrations, expect at least 150,000€ for an MVP, potentially exceeding 500,000€ for ongoing improvements. Ultimately, it's about what your business needs and ensuring a good return on investment. We're here to help you navigate this!
More on modern app development
Security and data privacy
Our app developers use strict security protocols, such as secure data storage, encryption, and token-based authentication, to ensure your app and its data are well-protected. We also ensure compliance to app store privacy policies.
AI and machine learning in app development
Modern apps increasingly use AI and machine learning features, whether it’s for personalized recommendations, image recognition, or natural language processing (NLP). We keep up with the latest tools and opportunities for your app!
App Store Optimization (ASO)
Once your app is all set to launch, we'll make sure it gets the attention it deserves on the app stores – including ranking well and catching the eye of your desired users.
Looking for consultants or full project delivery? We do both!
Working with Qvik gives you access to a team of talented individuals who are well-versed in best practices, tools, and methodologies, and have fresh input on consumer trends and digital opportunities.
How you choose to use that expertise is up to you. We offer both an agency model, where we take full ownership of your product, and a consultancy model, where you strengthen your internal team with our specialists.
Which approach is the right fit for you?
“We know the banking business, but Qvik’s fresh perspective and knowledge of other industries was valuable. It takes class and skill to create a smooth user experience that combines the financial sector’s regulatory requirements with a clear and simple customer experience. This was precisely what we were able to achieve together with Qvik.”
"The Qvikies fit in so well, I can hardly tell them apart from our in-house team anymore. They are so deeply involved in our work that I don’t even think of them as consultants anymore. Our co-operation has been fantastic all around."
"We feel this update has achieved its goals thus far, and we are delighted with the professional help Qvik provided during the process."
"We chose Qvik as our partner because of their holistic approach and domain expertise. Qvik always listened to us and answered our needs really well throughout the project. The results were brutally honest, and hence really valuable."
"Based on my experiences I can say that our collaboration with Qvik has been accessible, open, transparent, smart, adaptive and to the point."
