Different types of apps

Apps come in various forms and sizes. Each app is designed to meet specific needs, using different techniques. Native apps are specifically developed for one operating system, such as iOS or Android. This ensures optimal performance and full access to all device features.

Web apps, on the other hand, are platform-independent and run in the browser, making them easily accessible without installation. Hybrid apps combine the advantages of both: you build one solution that can be deployed on multiple platforms, such as iOS and Android, web, and desktop.

Additionally, there are also Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), which use web technologies to provide an app-like experience, with offline access and push notifications.

The choice of app type and the techniques used depends on the objectives, target audience, and required functionality of the app. Explore the possibilities!

Our techniques arrow right white

iOS apps

With native iOS apps you make a smart choice for long-term success. Because the apps are specifically developed for Apple devices, they perform optimally and have access to all features of the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. This is crucial for apps that make intensive use of hardware, such as the camera or sensors. Additionally, Apple’s closed ecosystem offers extra security and reliability, which is important for users.

Android apps

With native Android apps you are assured of a future-proof solution. Since the app is specifically developed for the Android operating system, you benefit from maximum performance. The app has full access to all the smartphone's features, which is essential for apps that use complex extensions. Furthermore, Android offers massive growth opportunities as it has the largest user base globally.

Frequently asked questions about creating apps:

How much does it cost to have an app developed?

toggle-button

The cost of having an app developed depends on various factors, including:

  • The desired functionalities
  • The intended platforms (e.g., iOS, Android, web)
  • The technologies used
  • Opportunities for reusing existing projects from DTT

For an accurate price, it’s best to request a quote based on your specific needs and requirements.

Can I optimise an existing app at DTT?

toggle-button

Yes, it is possible to optimise an existing app at DTT. The DTT team has extensive experience in analysing and improving existing applications to enhance performance, usability, and functionality. Whether it’s improving speed, updating design, solving technical issues, or adding new features, DTT offers tailored solutions that meet your app’s and users’ needs. Through a thorough analysis and structured approach, DTT ensures that your app not only meets current standards but is also future-proof.

How long does it take to develop an app?

toggle-button

Typically, developing an app takes between 2 to 6 months. Of course, this can vary significantly depending on the desired functionalities and the size of the app.

How long does it take for my app to go live in the App Stores?

toggle-button

The time it takes for your app to go live in the App Store can vary, depending on various factors. Generally, at DTT, it takes about 2 to 6 months to build an app, depending on the complexity and specifications of the project. After the development phase is complete, a testing and approval process follows, both internally and with Apple (for iOS) and Google (for Android). Submitting to the App Store itself can take anywhere from a few days to weeks, depending on how quickly Apple or Google approves the app. This process can be influenced by the quality of the app, adherence to the App Store guidelines, and any revisions needed after feedback from Apple or Google. In summary, the total timeline can range from a few months for development and a couple of weeks for approval, after which your app will be available to users in the App Store.

How much does it cost to maintain an app?

toggle-button

Annual maintenance costs are typically around 10-20% of the development budget. Various factors influence maintenance costs, such as the scope of the solution, platforms (iOS, Android, Web), any integrations with other systems, and the level of (proactive) support required.
