Key areas of our ios app development expertise
Product's UI
The user interface is extremely important for iOS apps. Most users are looking for a beautiful solution, which integrates well into the whole Apple ecosystem, and works great on all possible devices. As an Apple user myself, I understand it well, and I am trying to exceed expectations of a user and a product owner here.
I am interested in making a pixel-perfect application, and this is what I do here every single day. I make sure that user interface matches the design. I make sure that user experience is on the highest level, and when the user opens the app, he will want to do it over and over again, just to see this mesmerizing design again.
Product development
I work in software development industry for over 10 years, and at least 5 of them I was focused on iOS. I wrote millions of lines of code, worked on many different projects, and implemented every single feature possible: from social feeds to messaging, from GPS tracking to payments, and much more. Whatever function you would like to develop - you can be confident that I already have previous experience with it, and I would be happy to share the knowledge with you.
Product development is a core of iOS app development services. I prefer working in an iterative Agile environment, which allows us to build and deliver products faster, and with higher quality. Working tightly together with the product owner, to make sure that everything is done according to technical specifications, and to make sure all sides understand everything that is going on under the hood.
Support & maintenance
I am always interested in maintaining a product after the release. This is one of the most critical stages of a product lifecycle: the application is ready, and it starts acquiring users. I will help you to make sure that everything works smooth, with a highest possible performance, and ready to grow fast with any number of users.

1. Mobile Consulting and Business Analysis
Everything starts with an idea, including custom mobile app development. Just describe to us how you see your application, and it will be enough to start. Our experts will try to gather all the info needed for this application to work, so it will help your users to achieve their goals.
At this stage, we will need to gather a complete application specification - how it will work, what it will do, and which features it will have. We need to analyze all the basic needs of the application and make sure that it will be able to work according to the initial idea.

2. Wireframing, Prototyping, Design
If you already have a specification, or when we completed it together, we will need to make wireframes, that will help us to understand how the app will look like visually. It is a skeleton of the app which will be used by designers in the future. User interface without any design - just to understand which screens app will have, and which elements will be on each of them.
When we have wireframes, we can start working on designs. Basically, we already have all the screens, each has a defined purpose, and we need to make them look great. Even though it sounds easy, it is a tricky part - we need to make sure user interface design will be simple so that users won’t feel lost. We should think about every possible detail and every possible edge case here, so user’s experience will be top notch. In addition, we need to make sure that design will be possible to implement during smartphone app development stage.

3. Architecture
Before starting a phone app development process, we will need to figure out which technology stack should be used: programming languages and patterns, databases, third party services, and so on. In most cases, it is a good idea to start a new iOS project with Swift - it is a latest Apple’s programming language, and most of the libraries are written in it, which means they will be easier to integrate.
Which database to use depends on a project type. Some don’t need it at all. For others, we can use a simplest (but slowest) data storage. For bigger projects, we will need to decide what will work better. On a mobile, our main choices are fast and easy to use Realm, or Apple’s default Core Data.
Most of the projects will require many additional services. For example apps for apps that have payments, we will need to decide if it is better to go with native In-App Purchases, secure and well-known PayPal, or allow users to pay with credit cards using Stripe or Braintree.
If your app has messaging and calls, we will need to decide if it will be better to set up our own chat server, or we could use existing alternatives like Twilio.
All the projects are unique, and they all will need different approaches. Our team of professionals successfully releases tens of projects each year, and we have seen which method works better for each type of application.

4. Application Development
When we decided on architecture, mobile application development starts. We work in agile manner, which means we define a 2-week sprint with tasks that need to be done, and when done - we send an application to a customer for a test. When the sprint ends, customer and developers share their experience and feedback - which parts of the app work well, which needs to be improved, which problems were encountered, and so on.

5. Quality Assurance
And now we are almost release-ready. Good testing is one of the most important part of mobility application development. Our Quality Assurance team will help you to make sure application works as expected under different conditions and edge cases. Whether you prefer automated or manual testing - we’ve got it covered!
⛑
6. Post-release support
The fun part starts after the release. Real users begin providing feedback, and our job is to help improve the app accordingly. We never stop supporting the app after the release - we are the team interesting in continuous support. Whether you have a new feature or would like to improve an existing one - we are always here to help!
Why mova.io
Native look and Feel
Our team, as Apple users, knows how important it is for an app to feel native, and to integrate well with Apple's ecosystem. When working on every new mobile development solution, we spend almost the same time on making the user interface look perfect as on business logic development. All our applications are compliant with Apple's guidelines and developed with best practices in mind.
Experience
We finished the hundreds of projects. Most of them were mentioned by the press. Others were featured in App Store and Play Store. Over a million people use our applications each month.
We know which technology will work better with your project. We know how to improve the user experience. We know how to increase user conversion. We worked on apps that grew from zero to hundreds of thousands of users, so we also know how to handle growth, and to make apps with a performance that can handle huge userbases.
And we would be happy to happy this knowledge with you.
You control the development process.
We work tightly together with the product owner to create a new impressive application. When we have a specification, we break all the features down into smaller tasks, and we decide which will be done first.
Every week product owners receive a new application version to test and to make sure we are moving in a right direction. We analyze work that has been done, and we always improve a current product in iterations.
You always see what we are working on at the moment; you know what will be done next, and what's left. We are flexible, and always open for a new input.
