Technologies we use
Hire a cross platform mobile application development company with experience in using a broad range of technologies to build mobile apps. Pick the best-fitting tech stack for your business needs and challenges.
Flutter
Flutter is a modern Google mobile UI framework and SDK based on the Dart programming language. It is known as one of the most popular mobile app development tools for developing high-quality native-like apps really fast. It is reliable enough to be used in big mainstream apps like Google Ads, eBay Motors, Groupon Merchant, etc. In addition, Flutter is a widget-based framework, and that’s why you can create truly complex design solutions with it.
- Flutter apps are compiled directly into native machine code
- Consistent branding and user interfaces across both iOS and Android
- A vast library of customizable widgets for developing responsive user interfaces
- Backed by Google, receives continuous updates and strong community support
- Flutter can be integrated into existing iOS and Android apps as modules
React Native
Created and actively supported by Facebook, React Native as a JavaScript framework has been used by such companies as Walmart, Bloomberg, Wix, and Instagram. It is the most preferred platform by most business applications given its truly native UI, live app updates, and speedy development process. This framework is ideal for rapid development for all platforms, without serious investment in complex design.
- Access to shared codebase and reusable components
- Bridges the gap between multi-platform and native apps
- Built on JavaScript, one of the most widely used programming languages
- Has a rich ecosystem of third-party plugins
- Backed by Facebook and supported by a large developer community
Xamarin
It is a Microsoft-owned cross-platform development tool that uses C# and .Net framework languages to create apps for Android, iOS, and Windows devices. It is being used by Siemens, Pinterest, Slack, and other business giants to launch and maintain their products. Xamarin app development helps deliver quality and near-native performance.
- Up to 90% of the code can be shared between platforms
- Xamarin’s automated testing capabilities allow to comprehensively test applications
- Xamarin.Forms allows developers to create shared UI components across platforms
- Leverages the security standards and frameworks of each native platform
- Uses a single technology stack—C# and .NET—for both back-end and front-end development
Native Script
Native Script allows creating native multi-platform applications using JS API. However, Native Script interacts with API directly, so there is no need to create bridges. The community of Native Script is not that large but it is growing rapidly and we will definitely hear more about this framework in the future. This technology is best suited for converting web applications to mobile devices.
- NativeScript apps use native APIs and UI components
- Direct access to native APIs allows developers to use platform-specific features
- Developers write a single codebase for both iOS and Android using JavaScript, TypeScript, or Angular
- A growing ecosystem of plugins for implementing features like payment gateways, analytics, and push notifications
- Developers to use either web-based UI frameworks or fully native UI components
Progressive Web App
PWA multi-platform approach is achieved through the use of basic technologies like HTML and CSS and JS-based mobile app development frameworks. Among the applications developed using this technology are Pinterest, Starbucks, The Washington Post, and Uber. PWA applications boast their download speed and do not require installation on mobile devices.
- PWAs are built using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- Run on any device with a web browser—desktop, mobile, or tablet
- Provide features like push notifications, offline capabilities, and home screen installation, etc.
- Users can access PWAs instantly without needing to download or install them
- PWAs can work offline by caching content
and over of software development costs can be saved with the cross-platform approach.

Key characteristics of cross-platform app development
Don’t compromise on quality with multi-platform mobile app development.
Single codebase
Up to 80% of the code can be reused for developing applications supported by different platforms. Nevertheless, native code can be added separately to enable OS-specific feature support.
- One codebase works across multiple platforms
- Bug fixes and updates are applied once for all platforms
- Only one programming language should be learned
- Rapid development of prototypes and minimum viable products (MVPs)
Offline access
Cross-platform applications can be submitted to the AppStore and Google Play markets. They can be installed on users’ smartphones and used offline as distinctive apps.
- Users have access to important features offline
- Offline data can be synchronized automatically once the internet connection is restored
- Users can perform certain tasks offline
- Users don’t lose functionality when internet service is interrupted
UI/UX consistency
Maintaining brand identity and familiarity for users regardless of the device or operating system, keeping your app compliant with OS-specific UI/UX requirements.
- Users can easily switch between devices without having to adapt
- Consistent navigation and interactions, regardless of the platform
- New features can be rolled out with the same design
- Different native UI components can be added to comply with the requirements

Cross-platform app development benefits
Opt for cross-platform mobile app development to rapidly create new applications, saving the overall project costs. The foremost benefits of developing multi-platform apps are as follows.
Faster time-to-market
Choose a simplified development process, a large number of ready-made solutions, and the ability to create a product for all devices at once. Cross-platform app developers will help you to achieve faster time to market.
Low costs
Achieve reduced app development cost by using a single codebase that will work for all platforms and devices. There is no need to hire separate teams of software engineers to develop apps for different operating systems.
Wider audience reach
Convey your product to a wider target audience, regardless of which device or operating system they use. Make the same functionality available on various platforms, matching the UI/UX requirements of each operating system.
Reusable code
Apply the multi-platform development using the same code for all versions of the product, making minor changes. This allows you to reuse a single code for different systems, quickly fix bugs, and change entire blocks and modules on all platforms without serious delays.
Simplified maintenance
Easily maintain the operation of a single codebase is simplified and can be carried out by one cross-platform development specialist. Moreover, release updates, fix bug, and improve functionality in a more efficient and less time-consuming manner.
Enhanced cloud integration
Enable the unification of all versions of the application under one technology and programming language, interaction with cloud technologies. This improves app functionality and scalability, making it easier to manage resources and collaborate.
One app on many devices
Make sure your application has the same functionality, UI, and UX on all devices and platforms. This significantly increases user engagement as they don’t have to get used to the new interface when using your app on another device.
Faster market analysis and test
Eliminate the need to analyze different markets and test the product multiple times. Gather feedback and analyze market response, adjusting strategies and making data-driven decisions more rapidly.
Quick prototyping
Rapidly create different prototypes for various platforms and systems, allowing developers to quickly test app models on multiple platforms. This speeds up the validation of concepts and helps fine-tune features before full-scale development.
