Mobile App Development
In today’s mobile-first world, having an app that connects with your audience is essential. At Sunergos Technology, we design and develop high-performance Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and Native Apps that deliver exceptional user experiences. Whether you need an app for mobile devices, the web, or both, we create solutions that engage, perform, and scale with your business.
Your app should do more than just exist—it should captivate users, streamline interactions, and support your business objectives. Here’s why our app development services stand out:
- Tailored to Your Needs: Every app is designed and built to align with your business goals and target audience.
- Seamless Cross-Platform Solutions: By leveraging React Native, we build apps that work beautifully across iOS and Android.
- Offline Accessibility: Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) ensure uninterrupted user experiences, even without a connection.
- Scalable and Future-Ready: Our apps are designed to grow with your business and adapt to changing user demands.
Execution
We combine technical expertise with a user-centric approach to create apps that deliver real value.
Discovery and Strategy
We begin by understanding your business objectives, target audience, and technical requirements. User experience (UX) is at the core of our strategy, ensuring that every app is intuitive and engaging.
Development
React Native for Native Apps: We use React Native to create cost-effective, high-performance apps for iOS and Android from a single codebase.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs): Using modern web technologies like React, Service Workers, and IndexedDB, we develop PWAs that combine the accessibility of the web with the functionality of a native app.
Robust Backend Integration: Whether you choose a PWA or a Native App solution; APIs, databases, and cloud services are seamlessly integrated to power your app.
| Aspect | PWA | React Native |
|---|---|---|
| Platform and Accessibility | • Accessible via a web browser and works on any device with a modern browser. • Can be “installed” to a device’s home screen for a native-like experience without going through app stores. • Runs on web standards (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). | • Requires installation through an app store (iOS App Store or Google Play Store). • Built as native mobile apps using JavaScript/TypeScript with platform-specific capabilities. • Fully native apps leveraging platform APIs for high performance. |
| Performance | • Faster than traditional websites due to service worker caching and optimized delivery. • Performance is limited by the browser’s capabilities and cannot access all native device features. • Runs in a web view; performance is slightly lower than native apps, especially for resource-intensive tasks. | • Offers near-native performance by compiling components to native UI elements. • Better suited for resource-intensive or highly interactive apps (e.g., games or apps requiring animations). |
| Device Features | • Access to limited device features (e.g., camera, geolocation, push notifications) via web APIs. • Restricted access to more advanced features like Bluetooth, NFC, or background processes. • Feature support depends on the browser and operating system. | • Full access to native device features (e.g., Bluetooth, GPS, accelerometer, NFC). • Ideal for apps that require deep integration with hardware. |
| User Experience | • Similar to using a website, but can provide a near-native experience when added to the home screen. • Runs in a browser shell, so it lacks some native look and feel. • Limited offline support (depends on service worker caching). | • Native UI elements provide a highly polished, platform-consistent look and feel. • Fully offline functionality, as the app and its resources are installed on the device. |
| Development | • Easier and faster to develop, especially if converting an existing website. • Single codebase for all platforms (desktop, mobile, tablet). • Requires less expertise in platform-specific development. | • Requires more development time compared to a PWA but is faster than developing separate native apps for iOS and Android. • Codebase can be shared between platforms (70–90% shared, with some platform-specific customizations). • Requires knowledge of React and basic platform-specific APIs. |
| Distribution | • Accessible directly via a URL; no app store is needed. • Instant updates (users always get the latest version). • No need for app store approval processes. | • Distributed through app stores, requiring compliance with store policies. • Updates may require re-submission to the store (except for OTA updates via services like Expo or CodePush). • App store presence improves discoverability. |
| Cost | • Lower cost since it’s built on web technologies and doesn’t require app store fees. • Suitable for businesses with smaller budgets. | • Higher initial cost due to development time and the need for app store maintenance. • Ongoing costs include app store fees (e.g., Apple’s 15–30% cut of in-app revenue). |
| Offline Capabilities | • Limited offline capabilities via service workers (caches static and some dynamic content). • Not ideal for apps that need robust offline features. | • Full offline capabilities, as it’s a native app with access to local storage and databases. |
| SEO & Discoverability | • Can be indexed by search engines, boosting SEO and organic reach. • Acts like a website, so users can find it via search or direct URLs. | • Not indexed by search engines. • Relies on app store discoverability and marketing efforts. |
| Scalability | • Scales seamlessly across devices (desktop, tablet, mobile). • Performance depends on browser and device capabilities. | • Scales well within its targeted platform (iOS and Android). • Requires separate development for desktop or web versions. |
| When to choose PWA vs React Native | • You want a cost-effective, fast-to-develop solution. • Your primary goal is to improve web accessibility and SEO. • Your app doesn’t require extensive native features. • You’re targeting a broad audience across all devices. | • You need high performance and native device features. • Your app requires complex functionality or frequent offline use. • You’re targeting mobile users specifically and can invest in app store presence. |
Testing and Optimization
Rigorous testing ensures your app is secure, bug-free, and optimized for performance. Load testing, device compatibility, and user feedback loops help us refine every detail.
Launch and Post-Launch Support
We manage the deployment process, ensuring your app is live on app stores or accessible as a PWA. Post-launch, we offer ongoing support, updates, and enhancements to keep your app performing at its best.
