Depending on your budget, timeline and other considerations, it may make sense for your business to choose a more hybrid approach.
Reducing your time and costs to build a cutting-edge app can bring your product to the forefront of the industry. With a hybrid approach, you can significantly reduce your development costs by using cross-platform tools such as Ionic, Xamarin, and React Native.
Technologies: Ionic / Xamarin / React Native
Advantages of cross-platform app development:
- Single tech stack
- Fast app development process
- Close to native performance and UI
- Exposure to a larger number of users
Disadvantages of cross-platform development:
- Limited access to third-party libraries
- Not suitable for apps with heavy graphics
- Delayed support

Mobile Development Case Studies:

PEX: Xamarin-Based Expense Management Mobile App
PEX is a New York-based fintech company that works as a provider of next-generation corporate card and expense management solutions for businesses. Using their previous experience building prepaid card APIs, Softjourn partnered with PEX to develop a user‑friendly interface for phones and tablets that allowed companies to use prepaid cards to track employee spending better. With Xamarin, Softjourn combined the two original apps into a single application that allows great user experience.

Ticketmaster: How Xamarin Benefits Ticket Scanning Apps
Ticketmaster is the world’s largest ticket marketplace and the global market leader in live event ticketing products and services. When Ticketmaster wanted to know if sharing code across platforms could save time and money, Softjourn created a prototype to prove that Xamarin was a viable solution.

Ticketpro: Strong Access Control with React Native
Ticketpro offers a web-based ticketing system to provide venues, promoters, and producers with a fully customizable solution for full-service ticketing and box office management. To make their app more user-friendly, they wanted to tap into a new set of functionalities and give the whole product a refresh. Softjourn’s experienced team helped them meet these goals, enabling TicketPro’s users to enjoy a consistent mobile experience on multiple platforms.

UPC: Mobile Banking App Development
Ukrainian Processing Center (UPC) supports banks in Ukraine and other Central and Eastern European countries with processing services and software. UPC had already developed an SMS-banking solution called Mobi&Card, so Softjourn’s task was to develop smartphone applications that would communicate with the Mobi&Card server as well as to develop security features to guard against risk and protect their customers.

JellyTelly: iOS and Android Apps for Meaningful Kids’ Entertainment
JellyTelly is a unique online video and game network for families focused on faith-based programming. Softjourn’s objective was to develop new iOS and Android JellyTelly apps that would provide faith-based videos and devotionals to teach children about religion.
The first step was to determine what functionalities should be added to the existing mobile apps. The apps were developed simultaneously, so our client received two ready-to-use products upon project completion.

Ticket Hoy: Mobile App Development Services for Ticket Industry Apps
To stay up to date on the latest technology, Ticket Hoy wanted to explore options for rewriting its ticket-validation iOS application. Softjourn’s developers took on the task of helping Ticket Hoy identify the application functions it needed for its real-time ticket validation process.
Softjourn’s team created a versatile and easy-to-use app that caters to all client’s requirements.

Ticket River: Mobile App for Simplifying Ticket Sales
Ticket River is an online ticketing solution designed to make online ticketing easy and simple. The company wanted a UI that would engage its clients’ end users and allow them to register for events and buy tickets easily. The goal was to encourage end-users to share their positive purchase experience, ultimately expanding sales. An eye-catching and user-friendly app developed by Softjourn’s team helped Ticket River engage end-users across a range of mobile devices.

SnappyTV: Mobile Solution for Digital Content Distribution
SnappyTV (Acquired by Twitter) is a cloud-based social video publishing and distribution platform that allows users to edit and share various media content across the web. A popular TV show wanted to enhance the mobile experience for viewers, and Softjourn’s team suggested a new app with a second screen functionality to make the audience more involved. The mobile app allowed users to caption moments from the TV show, share them on social media, and follow specific hashtags. After the app’s launch, the number of downloads increased, and SnappyTV has seen revenue growth.
