Top 5 Questions to Ask Developers When Outsourcing Apps

                           

 So you are thinking of building a mobile app?                                                            

Ever hear this line?

"I have this great idea for this app, it will have million of dollars,.....here it is ..... oh and by the way, how much will it cost?"

Sadly this comment is all too common.

Many don't quite realize the undertaking and how much ones "app" idea can actually cost. Many say, "well, I'll outsource it for dirt cheap to India."

Yes, that is an option however, most company's or individuals outsourced specialize in certain areas of multifaceted system.  Not to mention the various technical requirements the app may carry like additional hosting, or  if the app will be pulling results it may have to be pulling results other servers ... The list goes on and on.
A bit of advise, before going in on this "game changing app" consider the following:
If outsourced:

• Does the developer provide a "wireframe" and "architecture"?
• If so, is this included as part of the quote?
• Can the app be compatible on various platform? ie: iOS Appstore, Google Play, Windows 8, BlackBerry
• Does the app service include design?
• How many weeks/months of additional support does the developer offer?
• Does the developer provide app updates? If so how many?
• Does the developer provide adding additional Ad Network SDK's

These are several of the factors to consider when outsourcing your dream "game changer" app. It is imperative that before you look at just the "price" you consider these factors. On that note, consider what payment method these developers take. If they only work on Western Union be sure to have two or three solid reference to ease your mind.
