Apps That Respond to Your Changing Needs

There are many benefits to building your next app natively, the big three being: performance, scalability, and user experience.
Softjourn has a team of experts who will help you develop scalable solutions with great UI/UX and high performance that users will enjoy. The apps we design for various iOS and Android devices exceed expectations and will help reach your business goals.
Technologies: Swift / Objective-C / Kotlin / Java
Advantages of native app development:
- Great user experience
- Highly performant apps
- Flexibility in feature development
- App store support
Disadvantages of native app development:
- Time-consuming development process
- Cost of development
- Requires platform-specific UI

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 hybrid apps, 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.

Tacit Innovations: Enhancing a Mobile Payments App with Apple Pay
In response to consumers’ growing interest in the Apple Pay mobile wallet, Tacit Innovations launched the capability in one of its mobile apps, which delivers the power of the maegan platform to consumers.

Event Espresso: Give Your Mobile Apps a New Life!
Understanding their potential users’ needs, our new client, Event Espresso, a US-based event registration and management company, turned to Softjourn with the idea of rewriting their iOS and Android ticketing apps from scratch.
Case Study: A Cross-Platform App Proved to be the Right Solution
Our client had the idea to build a payment-integrated access control app that would be able to accept in-person payments for tickets and related merchandise. We recommended that they develop a cross-platform app in React Native since it was a perfect fit for their product.
Case Study: Getting an iOS Ticketing App Ready to Launch
Softjourn partnered with a client to improve their iOS application, which was struggling with bugs and errors preventing it from being published on the App Store.

Offshore mobile app development(outsourcing) and in-house teams differ in several aspects, including cost, flexibility, scalability, and expertise. Here are some key differences:
- Cost: Outsourcing mobile app development is typically more cost-effective than hiring and maintaining an in-house team. Offshore developers often offer competitive rates, allowing you to save on labor costs, benefits, and overhead expenses.
- Flexibility: Outsourcing mobile app development teams can provide greater flexibility regarding project scope and timeline adjustments. They can quickly scale up or down to meet changing project requirements, while in-house teams may require time-consuming hiring or reassignment processes.
- Scalability: Outsourcing companies can quickly scale to accommodate the growing needs of your project. In-house teams may need help finding the right talent quickly, resulting in delays or limitations in app development.
- Expertise: Outsourcing companies have access to a diverse pool of skilled professionals with expertise in various technologies and platforms. In-house teams may need more expertise, requiring additional training or hiring to fill gaps in knowledge quickly.
To ensure a successful collaboration with an offshore mobile app development team, consider the following steps:
- Research: Conduct a thorough investigation to identify reputable offshore app development companies with a proven track record of successful projects.
- Communication: Establish clear communication channels and expectations with the offshore team. Make sure they understand your project requirements and goals.
- Portfolio: Review their portfolio to evaluate their experience in app development, particularly in your industry or with similar projects.
- Testimonials and references: Ask for client testimonials and references to assess the offshore team's reliability, professionalism, and ability to deliver quality work.
- Trial period: Consider engaging the offshore team in a smaller project or a trial period to evaluate their performance before committing to a long-term partnership.
By following these steps, you can ensure that the offshore mobile app development team you choose will be a good fit for your project and can deliver the results you expect.
While outsourced developers offer many advantages, they can also present challenges, such as communication, time zone differences, and cultural differences. Here are some ways to overcome these challenges:
- Communication: Establish regular communication channels, such as video conferencing, email, or messaging platforms, to keep all parties informed and address any issues promptly.
- Time zone differences: Schedule meetings and deadlines with time zone differences in mind, and consider using collaboration tools that support asynchronous communication.
- Cultural differences: Understanding the offshore team's culture and working style and providing clear instructions to avoid misunderstandings.
- Project management: Utilize project management tools and methodologies to ensure that tasks are assigned, tracked, and completed on time.
By addressing these challenges proactively, you can optimize your collaboration with an offshore mobile app development team and achieve the desired outcomes for your project.
