Let's Talk

What are mobile apps?

Mobile applications, or mobile apps, are programs designed to run on smartphones and tablets. They provide an easy way for customers to connect with your services from anywhere. Mobile apps can also use push notifications, GPS, and offline mode to increase user interactions.

Custom mobile applications

What are mobile app examples?

Most of the apps on our phones are mobile apps that have become significant parts of our daily lives. Whether scrolling through social media, scheduling a ride, or purchasing items on e-commerce sites, we use mobile apps for almost everything. In our working lives, mobile apps can boost internal operations across various industries. For instance, mobile apps can help field service workers manage deliveries, enable construction teams to access project site data, and make it easier for retail employees to clock in with mobile app timesheets.

Why should I develop a mobile app?

Your business could go to an online app store and purchase a mobile app, but will that app optimize your business and solve your biggest problems? When companies have specific business issues that pre-made mobile apps can’t fix, it’s time to build a custom mobile app.Before you invest too much money or time into a mobile app, talk with an expert and identify your goals and current business challenges. Our team at Steelhead Software has built successful mobile app solutions across several industries, so we know what works well and what doesn’t. Schedule some time to tell us about your mobile app ideas, and let us help you figure out your best solution option, even if it’s not going with us.

What mobile app should I build?

There are several types of mobile apps your business could build, and there are pros and cons to choosing each type. Some of the most common types of mobile apps include the following:

Mobile Web App Definition Pros and Cons
Native Apps Built for one operating system, such as iOS or Android. PRO: Better performance, greater security, and more advanced customization.

CON: More expensive to deploy, longer development times, and frequent updates.
Cross-Platform Apps Built to function across multiple mobile operating systems. PRO: Cheaper to build, faster time-to-market, and reaches a broader user market.

CON: Somewhat decreased performance, integration issues, and potential update lags.
