How long will it take to build and launch my app?

Building apps and launching them on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store is not a one-size-fits-all process. The timeline for mobile app development services can vary based on your unique needs and objectives – for example an e-commerce platform differs from the requirements of a sophisticated healthcare management system. We've turned app ideas into reality in as little as a few weeks for simpler concepts — the higher the level of digital transformation, the longer the project will take.

To get a more precise estimate, drop us a line at hello@editiongroup.com or fill in our contact form below. We'll gladly discuss your project in detail and utilise our years of experience to give you a tailored timeline along with details around an hourly rate.

How are native and cross-platform apps different?

As one of the best mobile app development companies (coming straight from our clients, who needs Clutch), we offer native and cross-platform app development – catering to different needs, depending on the specifics of your digital solution.

Native apps are created for specific platforms, such as iOS or Android app development, using Microsoft's development IDEs for Windows, and tools like Xcode for Apple's platforms. They're built using distinct programming languages, like Java or Kotlin for Android, and Swift or Objective-C for iOS. Since native apps are designed for a single platform, they offer fast, responsive performance and superior handling of animations, as well as the ability to implement complex features like push notifications and PWAs (Progressive Web Apps).

On the other hand, cross-platform apps, often known as hybrid apps, are coded once and operate on multiple mobile platforms, IoT devices and smartphone operating systems. These are developed using versatile open-source technologies like React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, and Ionic, leveraging browser-supported languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The strengths of cross-platform apps lie in their unified codebase, reduced development cost, automation in testing, simplified maintenance, and faster delivery times.

At Edition, we support our clients with more than just mobile applications – we are a full service software development company specialising in custom software development, web app development, UX design, digital product design and digital marketing across key social media channels. As a web development company, we also offer Webflow development services for those that require a performance-driven marketing website.

Do you have an in-house design team?

Absolutely – we're proud of our in-house team of top-notch designers at our mobile app development agency. Our design experts have received international awards for their work across numerous use cases, from fintech SaaS solutions to healthcare. We excel in end-to-end solutions from user research to crafting exceptional UI/UX designs for your app development project. They're adept at translating your vision into a product that's visually captivating and user-friendly, ensuring your app is not just functional but also a joy to use.

We are based in Auckland, New Zealand and partner with global organisations (without outsourcing) across projects anywhere from Los Angeles and New York to Europe and beyond.

Does Edition offer maintenance support or just development?

Absolutely, most of our clients come to us looking for a long-term partnership they can rely on for support as their business scales. Our ongoing support agreements can be made up of a unique combination of application development services and UI UX Design, and have the ability to be dialled up and down as required.

Edition has established itself as one of the top app development companies in New Zealand and Australia, providing Fortune 500 companies and early stage startups with support in a way that makes sense for their business. As a dedicated service provider, we see ourselves as an extension of your team and are equally as driven to help your business find product-market fit and succeed. We believe in spending client capital as though it were our own, and are strong believers that excellent outcomes can be achieved cost-effectively, without outsourcing to USA, Europe, or behemoth app development companies like Appinventiv.
