Austin Mobile Development Services FAQs
Flatirons is a custom mobile development shop in Austin, TX. Our mobile app development services are structured to build you the custom cross-platform or native mobile app that your business needs.
What cross-platform mobile technologies do you use?
We love React Native and Flutter. While native app development is sometimes a requirement, for many businesses paying for separate applications is nonsensical. React Native and Flutter can create near-native performance and user experience.
Do you create Apple Watch or wearable applications?
Yes! In general IoT devices and wearables are very fun projects for us. We love communicating with IoT devices over bluetooth and WiFi to create integrated experiences.
When should native technologies like Swift and Kotlin be used instead of cross-platform technologies?
Mobile app technologies should be evaluated on a case by case basis. For many businesses, cross-platform technologies such as React Native and Flutter are more than sufficient at creating amazing apps. For other companies, like 3D or gaming companies, native code or other platforms are necessary.
Is React Native truly native?
Almost. React Native utilizes native operating system components, which makes end user experiences intuitive. Those components are compiled down to native code. The code that sends signals to the native UI is written in React.
Is React Native or Flutter better?
Both React Native and Flutter have their own advantages for cross-platform development. Flutter can be more performant in some situations, but comes with additional risk over React Native. React Native uses native components and experiences, and utilizes JavaScript which is more approachable for users than Dart. Both platforms create near-native performance in most situations.
Is React Native good for startups?
React Native is great for MVP development and startups in general. No businesses prefers to write the same piece of software twice, so cross-platform solutions like React Native are necessary to the market. The management of a single codebase can save a lot of time and money.
