Mobile apps have become very good content marketing and publicity tools. The world has gone “mobile”. The internet is mostly accessed through mobile devices because people want to do things on the go. So, if you want to capture people’s attention more, it is better you use a mobile platform. This is why every business requires mobile app development services.

The demand for an Android app development has become very high. So, a lot of people are going for it. Right now, there are so many mobile app development companies around. Hiring app developers could be a little difficult. In fact, android app development industry is now filled with many inexperienced developers.

It will be a big mistake to hire the first Android app development company that you get to meet. No matter how impressive his terms of service are, you still need to chat with a few more prospective developers before making a choice. It is then that you can make a well-informed decision. If you hire the first developer that you come across, you may miss out on better deals out there. So, you should talk to at least three developers before making a choice.

Hire a certified developer

When you decide to hire an Android app developer, it is very good to hire a certified developer. Certified developers are usually very versatile and they use recent programming languages and more features. Sometimes certification can be used as a substitute for experience. In fact, several big corporations will choose recent certification over experience.

Versatility is important

It is good to hire an expert that is skilled in other parts of digital marketing. It is just like how you will prefer to buy all your stuff from a one-stop store, it is good to hire a developer that is knowledgeable about search engine optimization and other IT fields. It saves you a lot to hire the same personnel for all your digital marketing services other than hiring separate people specialists for each of them.

Good communication and presentation skills

You should hire a developer that has great communication and presentation skill. His communication should be free from all technical jargons that may confuse you. He should also be able to explain the benefits of each feature on your mobile app. The combination of confidence and good communication skills is a big sign of competence. You should never hire any developer that finds it difficult to explain things to you in clear terms especially the ones that keep making use of technical jargons. It is either he is incompetent or he is hiding something.

Consider experience

It is a good idea to hire an Android app developer with the most experience among them. Experience usually comes with higher quality services. However, there is a little challenge with experience. The most experienced one might offer the highest charges. If the charges are still within your budget, it is better to go for it. Quality does not come cheap.

Another problem with experience is that a lot of inexperienced developers usually inflate their years of experience to lure unsuspecting clients. To avoid being deceived, you need to request a proof of their years of experience. If anyone of them does not have any proof, you can ask for samples of their past works. That should give you room to assess their innovation and creativity.

Ensure that he can incorporate analytics into your mobile app

This should be incorporated into your app so that you can be getting necessary statistics from the mobile analytics on a daily basis. It is these statistics that will help you monitor the performance of your app. One of the important daily figures you can get from analytics is your daily crash rate. Other important daily reports that analytics give are listed below:

- Number of views on every product: This is the figure of all the number of times each of your products was viewed by prospective customers.

- Number of orders on every product: This is the figure of the number of orders on each of your products. This is very important because the number should be increasing each day. When the number of orders on any product begins to drop, it is a sign that something is going wrong with that product. You need to investigate and take corrective measures as soon as possible. Don’t wait until the number drops to zero.

- The total number of users of your app: This gives the number of people using your app on a daily basis. This number should also keep increasing. If you see a decline, it means there is a problem somewhere. Find it out and deal with it.

- The total number of active users of your app: This gives you the total number of people using your app actively. You also need to monitor this figure daily. More people should keep using it. Once new users stop coming on board, it is a sign that there is a big trouble with your mobile app. You should try to fix it as soon as possible.

- The average number of minutes users spend on your app: This gives you the average number of minutes each user spends on your app. You should also work on increasing the average time users spend on your app. The longer they stay on your app the more they are likely to purchase your products.

Be wary of low charges

Another method that inexperienced developers use to attract prospective clients is by offering overly low charges. When a developer gives ridiculously low charges, you need to be careful. Most times, it is a pointer to a terrible job.

They should have a physical office

A reliable developer should have a physical office even if his home doubles as his office. There should be a physical office. Don’t rely on only information on the website. What happens if he does not deliver your job, does not respond to your email and does not pick your call? This is why you should confirm a physical office. Don’t depend on the address on their website. It could be a fictitious or a wrong address. Don’t let anybody take your money and disappear. It rarely happens but it has happened before and it can happen again. Don’t be the victim.

Hire an app developing company

An individual app developer is likely to offer lower charges but it is advisable to hire a company for the sake of continuity. There is no guarantee that you will see the individual again after 6 months or a year. He can go back to school, relocate for one reason or the other or he may even be serving a jail term. They are all possibilities. But when you hire Android app development company, there will be continuity. Employees come and go but the company will remain.

Hire a local developer

For the sake of promiscuity, you should hire an app developer that is based in your locality or your county. This will make it easy for you to confirm his address and it will also prevent the developer from adding his cost of transportation to your bill.
