FAQs
-
What types of entertainment apps do you develop?
We offer custom engineering services and can build an app with any functionality you want. The most common types of entertainment apps we develop are video and music streaming platforms, social media apps, gaming apps, and content aggregation solutions.
-
Can you help if we already have a legacy app?
Yes, we offer a software modernization service for companies who need help with their existing software. Every app needs continuous updates, otherwise the software will soon become outdated. If it has happened or you want to upgrade your app for any other reason, we can review code, enhance performance, implement new features, and make other changes.
-
What is the cost of custom entertainment app development?
The cost of software development is determined for each case individually. The budget depends on the software complexity, scope of engineering services, project duration, and many other factors. Contact us directly to discuss your project, share the requirements, and get a quote.
-
What differentiates your company from other vendors?
We are committed to long-term cooperation and take a proactive approach to software development, directly telling clients about what solutions work and what don’t. We are responsible for the quality of the software and will keep supporting it after the launch. Our media app development company offers flexible cooperation models and adapts them to your current needs.
-
How do you manage time differences?
If there is a significant time difference between our engineers and your in-house team, we take the initiative to set up smooth cooperation. We arrange meetings during overlapping hours, send regular reports, and use task-tracking software to make the development process transparent and keep you updated.
-
What cooperation models can you offer?
You can choose between team extension and dedicated team models. With team extension, our engineers, QA testers, designers, or other specialists join your in-house team remotely to provide the missing expertise or help release sooner. With the dedicated team approach, we assemble a separate remote engineering team that builds an app from scratch or completes a large part of your project.
-
Can we hire several engineers to scale our team?
Yes, if you have an in-house engineering team, you can hire specific tech experts from Binary Studio. Our engineers will work as a team extension and complete the tasks your project manager assigns to them. You can use this model for both short-term cooperation and long-term engagement and scale up or down at any time.
-
Why outsource entertainment app development solutions?
Software development outsourcing is a time-tested solution to optimize expenses and hire a qualified workforce, which may be unavailable or very expensive locally, especially in the West. It also allows you to hire faster and avoid the burden of administrative and HR chores.
-
What tools do you use for remote software development?
If you already have existing workflows and environments, we adapt to what you currently use. If we develop a project from scratch, our PMs will discuss the mandatory and most convenient tools for project management, task tracking, remote development, code review, and collaboration with you.
-
Can we have a free consulting session?
Yes, we start every project with free consulting sessions. It lets our potential clients meet our team, learn more about how we work, and get a quote. Introductory sessions are also necessary for our company to discuss your project and make sure we can fulfill your engineering needs.
