Asking for the portfolio – Irrespective of whether the company specializes in developing apps for Android or Apple iOS, a business owner should initially ask for its portfolio. This is where the difference between a genuine company and an amateur app developer becomes clearly visible. An established company would never bother about who is asking for the portfolio and can show it to anyone anytime. Having a close look on the portfolio would allow business owners to understand the kind of work; the company has done in the past. They will realize the true potential of the company by studying the portfolio thoroughly.

Business owners should look at the company's innovativeness, rating and feedbacks received by its apps on the app stores and special features that this company infuses in the apps built by it. They should also understand how useful these features would be when the app is used practically in a business.

Asking the company about modes of communication and getting development updates – Communication between the app development company and business owners plays a very significant role in the app development process. Business owners should choose a company that is ready to provide app development process report on a weekly basis if not daily. It should be able to grasp your ideas and present its ideas as well on how to make an app even better than before.
