Get Started
Native App Development
Native apps offer a more exclusive user experience that takes advantage of the device’s specific internal features delivering seamless results every time.
What are native apps.
Native app development is the term used to describe the process of building an application to operate exclusively on a single platform, commonly iOS or Android.
Native apps offer a more unique and refined user experience as they are designed to be compatible with the operative system’s unique hardware, language, and code, which provides a higher level of accuracy and overall performance.
Apps that rely heavily on hardware features such as GPS, accelerometer, camera, and/or the microphone, are best suited to native app development.

During the Discovery Phase, our experienced team will discuss the pros and cons of using native app development and decide the best course of action for your project. In some cases, we may recommend a hybrid app for the initial launch, which is a cost-effective solution for companies who are looking to validate their project in the early stages of development. Businesses who are looking to launch a native app will be provided with an exclusive 1 – 2 year development plan, specifically tailored to the features and requirements of the product.
Our process for app development
Our experienced team has spent years refining our development process to ensure that we deliver high-quality products that operate seamlessly every time. We take the steps necessary to create products that are seamlessly integrated with the chosen operating system, whether that is iOS or Android.
Check out our process below!
Every great app starts with a great idea. Once you have an idea in mind, the next step is to ask yourself, “What problem does my app solve?”. Understanding what your app does and how it can stand out from the competition, is the first step towards launching a successful product. This can take some time and our team is always ready to jump in and give you a hand to get this process started.
It is important to define your competition, understand your target audience, and research the current market surrounding your idea. By analysing where your project sits within this landscape, we are able to start making decisions about the future direction and planning for your native app development. This begins by deciding what development platform your app requires, this could be iOS or Android.
Wireframing involves mapping out the functions and features of your app on black and white screens. This is where the UX/UI designers will identify the specifications for development and whether any system integration is required.
Working with you, our brand specialists create a brand that fits the needs of your business while ensuring it will be received well on a digital platform. We set up a collaborative mood board to understand the requirements and visual direction of the brand. The team offers multiple concept variations and refinement to ensure the brand meets your intentions. Finally, you will be provided with the brand guidelines and assets to ensure your brand is in the best position moving forward.
Next our UX and UI designers work to create the front-end of your native app development. This is when our design team will apply the branding elements, such as colour and typography to the wireframes to develop an intuitive user experience. Finally, the team delivers a high-fidelity prototype that can be used to promote your app to investors if required.
Our business analyst works with the team to create the user stories, which is a detailed document that outlines each function or interaction the user has with the app. It outlines the functionality and technical requirements for your app and will be used for the back-end development of your app. This document provides the cost estimation for your final app and outlines a plan for future development.
We deploy techniques to code the functionality and usability of the app and ensure that the user interface is designed to an optimal standard. During this stage of our process, we can rely on the native features of the device to improve the quality of the user’s experience, this includes navigation, list views, and collating data silos to perform as a single unit. Our native apps are build using directly onto iOS or Android and make the most of the in-built hardware features of the platform.
We provide a number of quality assurance testing services during the development process. We check to see that the app functions correctly and that there are no bugs detected. Our testing processes include:
App Boxer ensures that our products are delivered at the highest quality. The final step is to have your product assessed by the store provider, whether this is either Apple for iOS apps or the Google Play Store for Android. Once the necessary checks have been completed, your app is ready to launch into the market!
Our team monitors the app post-launch to ensure any functional and security bugs that may appear are fixed. This service is provided as part of App Boxer’s 3-month warranty for all our products.
Should I use native or hybrid app development for my project?
