How much time does it take to develop a mobile app?

So you decided that your business needs a mobile application to meet the needs of your client? But how long will it take to develop the application?

This is the most common question I receive from business owners and startup founders, Who are thinking of getting a mobile app developed for their business.

The timeline required to develop a mobile application depends mainly on the size of the application.

In general, we can say that there are 3 types of mobile applications, simple applications or small applications, medium-sized applications, and large complex applications.

Small applications have features such as a user connection option, information stream, and the ability to connect and interact with friends.

A medium-size application will have all the features mentioned above in addition to sharing parameters (sharing on external platforms such as social media), geolocation, video support, and integration options.

The most complex applications would also include several languages, robust parameters, photo/video editing, and algorithms for receiving tailor-made content.

The more complex an application, the more development.

The timeline range to develop an application will vary between one month to six months or more depending on the features you need and the complexity of your needs.

It is therefore advisable to develop the MVP (minimum viable product) first as this will help you access the market with a set of minimalist features as soon as possible.

Once the MVP is launched and you start getting traction with investors on board, you can then hope to develop the full application with all the features you have originally considered.

This brings our discussion to the following conclusion:

1. A mobile application can be developed in 1 month to 6 months or more depending on the necessary features.

2. An application that includes robust features will take longer to complete what would be more costly because efforts are directly proportional to cost.

3. It is better to start by starting with MVP or version 1.0 of the application so that you can go to the market quickly and check how your potential users feel about the product. The constructive criticism of your potential/customer users is the future success scale.

4. A team of an expert on technology helps you accelerate the development process.

5. With a team with good skills and experience, you can get more efficient deadlines. So have a good time choosing your development team and do good research before signing above the dotted line.

It is very important to remember that while developing MVP, too many features can cause problems.

Remember that a long list of features will increase timelines and costs.

The objective of the feature list must be to exclude unnecessary items as much as possible, keep only the key features that will help you find the cheap for your request.

This approach will help you stay within your timeline and budget.
