Design
It's what we started with and what we love most of all. Clean, simple, elegant solutions to be used by real people in real-life situations.
Programming
Coding is notorious for overuse of resources. We pride ourselves in fast, flexible, and effective back-end and front-end development.

We always make sure that we find bugs before you or your users do. Available as part of development or as a stand-alone service.
Merchandizing
A.k.a App Store Optimization. We make sure your app stands out and its message is clear and easy to read (description, banners, etc).

Our methodology
Besides the traditional waterfall approach, we use scrum approach in development. The few basic principals make it probably the best way to develop apps.
1
The entire schedule of the project is divided into equal
time intervals (2-3 weeks) which are called "sprints"
2
Before each sprint we do planning,
which includes the following activities
2.1.
Analyst puts together a list of tasks
2.2.
Each task is assigned a priority level by the customer
2.3.
The sprint is then filled up with tasks based on to their priority (priority is defined with the client)
3
While developers and designers work on the tasks from one sprint, the analyst is working with the customer on the pool of tasks to be included in the next sprint
4
When finished, the team demonstrates
the results of the sprint to the client
Advantages of scrum
1
Constant collaboration between the product owner and the team
2
Short iterations which to always see the intermediate results
3
Ability to introduce changes before every sprint, iterate and pivot
4
Immediate reaction to change in conditions and specifications
Scrum is the pragmatic way to do software development. The core principle is that nothing is absolute and anything may change. In IT where projects may take 4, 6 or even 8 months to complete, the ability to quickly roll out the first version and test it out in real life conditions is priceless.
