Mobile Applications – Why Create Custom Apps?

Owning a smartphone has become the norm, and more and more companies are considering whether it is better to download ready-made mobile apps or invest in developing their own solutions. Choosing the right platform (e.g. Android or iOS), deciding on the distribution method (e.g. through the App Store or Google Play), and potential issues related to app uninstallation are just some of the factors worth considering before making a decision. What are the advantages and disadvantages of downloading ready-made mobile apps? What are the benefits of using custom solutions?

Mobile Application – Create Your Own Project or Download Ready-Made Solutions?

The decision whether to create your own mobile application or download a ready-made solution depends on many factors. First and foremost, it is worth considering:

• Is the app essential for our business?
• Does it need to fulfill specific functions for users?
• Is it just a supplement to other activities?

It is also important to take into account the mobile platform on which our app will run, i.e. Android or iOS. It is also important to explore the market and see which apps are most commonly downloaded by users and in which categories (e.g. business apps, mobile games, etc.). This can be done through rankings on the App Store or Google Play. If you decide to create your own app, you need to consider:

• Functionalities
• Programming languages
• Who will be responsible for its development – your programmers or external developers?

The decision to choose the right app should be thoroughly considered. At Da Vinci Studio, we can help you make that decision after initial discussions and consultations. If you are considering developing your own mobile app, it is worth asking yourself the following questions:

• What goals do I want to achieve by creating a mobile app?
• Is creating a mobile app necessary for the internal operations of my company? Is it particularly important from the customer’s perspective? (e.g. shopping apps)
• What functionalities does my app need to meet my needs and customer requirements?
• What are the financial possibilities of my company in terms of software development?
• Is a mobile app really the best app for me? Maybe other solutions will prove to be better?
• What distribution channels will be beneficial for my app?

Apps in Google Play and App Store – Do I really have to give them up?

You don’t have to. However, it is important to be aware of the drawbacks of off-the-shelf solutions. Some of the most important ones include:

• Lack of customization to the specific needs of the company or user.
• Risk of privacy or data security breaches.
• Lack of control over updates and changes in the app.
• Limitations in functionality compared to dedicated software.
• High licensing or subscription costs for certain business apps.
• Very limited opportunities to stand out from the competition.
