We know iOS apps. In the last four years, we’ve helped companies launch more than 100 top-rated applications and assisted them in building hundreds of other prototypes to discover the best first approach to their iPhone application design and development. Dogtown Media isn’t just an iPhone app developer — we’re experts in the iPhone app creation process, from initial analysis to prototyping, wireframing, testing, and deployment. We’re also committed to working with your business to find the ideal build/budget balance. Our teams have the real-world experience to help design and deliver your dream application without breaking the bank, and without compromising on the key iPhone features and functionality you need. As a full-service Apple iOS developer, Dogtown Media has created an end-to-end development approach that starts with ideation and continues past launch day to deliver ongoing support that fuels future growth. Our iOS application development services starts with brainstorming, as we help your team research and refine app ideas to meet business goals. Next up is road mapping — we’ll collaborate with you shoulder-to-shoulder to define each part of the development process. From here, we’ll enter the development stage. Our team will map out your unique UI and UI design, create the digital infrastructure to support your project, fully test app code and then launch the app on the iTunes App Store. We’ll also provide long-term support and guidance to help ensure that your app continues to deliver desired outcomes over time. As a leading iPhone app development company, Dogtown Media’s combined expertise in design and development ensures that your app reaches the iTunes app store with everything it needs to exceed stakeholder expectations. Consultations are free and we’re always happy to talk about your project. User experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design are critical for your iPhone app to succeed. If you’ve got great products and superior services but your application is cumbersome and confusing to navigate, users won’t keep it on their devices for long. Our designers have years of startup experience to help create UI and UX frameworks that combine form and function to deliver an engaging application experience that keeps users coming back. Great code makes all the difference in custom iPhone app development. Applications that are crash- and bug-free enjoy higher ratings in the App Store and see more downloads than competitors that randomly freeze up or fail to perform. And while the iOS development ecosystem is more uniform than other app environments, the increasing variety of iOS device versions worldwide means that your app needs end-to-end coding expertise to help ensure apps work as intended and can scale to meet evolving business needs. What’s your plan for deploying, marketing, and monetizing your application? While great apps can help generate revenue for your business, they won’t deliver on their potential if users aren’t finding your app in the App Store or are passing it by in favor of other applications. Our iOS app developers have both tech industry and startup backgrounds to help you get ahead of the competition and get your app noticed by users. iPhone app development offers a variety of benefits. Most companies that decide to launch a mobile app opt to have iOS and Android apps. Both platforms are hugely popular, and while Android has a larger market share globally, iOS is more popular in the United States. But how can you decide which platform is best for your app? Below are some benefits and challenges associated with targeting iOS over Android. Android is an open-source operating system used by numerous hardware manufacturers. This makes app development challenging because you can’t be certain what screen resolution, form factor, or hardware capabilities your target audience has access to. Developing smartwatches on Android is even more difficult because there are so many manufacturers and watch operating systems to consider. In contrast, Apple makes a relatively small number of phones with predictable hardware configurations, and most iPhone users who buy a smartwatch would choose the Apple Watch for its strong compatibility. When developing for Apple devices, there are fewer variables to take into account. The iOS App Store is a competitive marketplace. There are around 1.8 million apps and almost half a million games available to download today. Apple carefully vets every one of these to ensure quality. To have a free or premium app listed on the App Store, you have to submit it for approval. Reviewers check apps to ensure they’re fully functional and meet Apple’s family-friendly standards. The app testing process is usually completed quickly, but there can be bottlenecks around the time new devices are released. This often causes a rush of new apps, resulting in a backlog for developers. A lot of today’s apps are used to interact with online services, so your app likely needs to communicate with a server. Whether it’s used for online shopping, communications, or gaming, it’s a good idea to be considerate of your users. Not all users have unlimited data plans, and users in rural areas may not even have access to 5G signals. Keeping data transfer to a minimum and developing the application to be resilient to connection loss ensures a positive user experience for those with limited data access. One common mistake people make is assuming it’s easy to complete an app development project for iOS and Android. While there are some cross-platform options for app development, it’s more common for iOS developers to use Swift, the native programming language for Apple devices. This offers better performance than cross-platform options and provides access to more of the hardware’s features. When developing for mobile devices, we try to ensure compatibility with as many devices as possible. For iOS devices, this means keeping memory and battery use low and trying to support previous versions of iOS so people who are still running older iPhones and iPads can enjoy using your app. Users interact differently with smartphones, watches, and tablets than with desktop devices. iOS users are often heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem and expect a smooth, seamless experience across all devices. When developing for iOS, it’s important to carefully consider the user experience. Apple provides guidelines for details such as the size of interactive elements, the spacing between them, and the standard icons used for certain features. By following these Human Interface Guidelines, we ensure your users benefit from an intuitive interface and have an enjoyable experience when interacting with your applications. Our skilled developers have experience with the iOS app development process and can produce reliable, efficient, and streamlined apps that appeal to your target audience. We have successfully completed the Apple App Store submission process for numerous clients and produced both free and premium apps that are enjoyed by a wide range of loyal users.

Dogtown Media created iPhone, iPad, Android phone, and Android tablet designs for
a new instructor experience in our existing mobile apps. We researched companies that were well-respected
in mobile design and development. We spoke with four companies about the project, received bids, and
narrowed down our selection to Dogtown Media. Ultimately, we chose them because the quality of their
portfolio was equal if not better than other companies’ work, and the price and timeline they quoted were
much more reasonable.
