App Development Approach

We develop both simple and complex apps that drive business growth and foster customer satisfaction. Apps are a powerful tool to connect with users, build trust, and establish long-term relationships. Our process starts by helping you align your business model and goals with the right technology choices, including app monetization strategies like subscriptions, in-app purchases, or ads.

Minimum Lovable Product (MLP)

For new projects, we recommend starting with an MVP (or Minimum Lovable Product as we like to call it), which includes the 3-5 most essential features. This allows for early testing, feedback collection, and product validation before full-scale development.

Native, Web, and Hybrid Apps

Native apps – Built separately for iOS or Android, native apps offer the best user experience, high performance, and full access to device-specific features like GPS, face recognition, and Bluetooth. They provide a platform-specific look and feel, better security, and easy maintenance.

Web apps – Accessible via any web browser, web apps offer real-time updates, easy maintenance, and lower costs. Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are a subtype, offering native-like features such as offline access, push notifications, and the ability to be installed on a home screen.

Hybrid apps – These are a blend of native and web technologies, offering the best of both worlds. They are available in app stores and can access certain device features while using web-based development frameworks for cost-effectiveness.

"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 Engineer
App Development Frameworks

We use advanced app development frameworks like React Native and Flutter, allowing us to create cross-platform apps efficiently. These frameworks enable us to write a single codebase for both iOS and Android, which reduces development time, saves costs, and simplifies prototyping.

Mobile Payments

We integrate seamless, secure mobile payment systems using methods like tokenization, biometric authentication, and digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay). This enhances the user experience and ensures smooth transactions.

"I’m happy when I can help customers improve their business through payment optimization."

Security and Data Privacy

Security is paramount in our development process. We implement strong protocols like data encryption, token-based authentication, and compliance with app store privacy regulations.

AI and Machine Learning

We incorporate AI and machine learning capabilities into apps for features like personalized recommendations, image recognition, and natural language processing (NLP).

App Store Optimization (ASO)

Once your app is ready, we ensure it ranks well in app stores, making it easy for your target audience to find and download.

Hosting and Management

Our app management services ensure your app runs smoothly with 24/7 monitoring, regular updates, and proactive performance enhancements. We handle any potential issues before they arise, ensuring a stable and secure app experience for your users.

Development Timeline and Cost

The timeline for app development varies based on complexity. Simple apps typically take 3 to 6 months, while more complex projects require ongoing development and can take longer. Similarly, costs range from 20,000€ for simple apps to 500,000€ or more for sophisticated solutions with real-time features and multiple integrations. We’ll work closely with you to adjust scope and timelines to meet your specific needs and ensure a good return on investment.

With our vast experience, focus on innovation, and commitment to quality, we aim to be your trusted partner in mobile app development, helping your business grow through powerful, efficient apps.

“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.”
