Trust our security-first approach to mobile app development

We build security into everything we do, and we’re proud to be an ISO 27001 compliant software development partner. Using our pragmatic Agile methodology, we address all security issues throughout the mobile application development process, making sure you can:   

  • Protect the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of your enterprise data 
  • Improve how your mobile app achieves compliance with commercial, contractual, and legal requirements, including with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and others 
  • Reduce cyber threat risks and the fines, business disruptions, and loss of reputation that can result 
  • Achieve greater resilience to cyber-attacks today and as they continue to evolve   

Our security-first approach means we start by identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities early in the process. We continue to assess and evaluate vulnerabilities throughout the process. And we do this while maintaining project timelines so that we deliver your secure, compliant mobile app on time.    Learn more about the Security Practice ›

Improve engagement with UI/UX services for mobile apps

Mobile app users can be demanding and are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Mobile users will delete an app because they don’t like how it looks, how it works, how long it takes to do things with it, or how much space it takes up on their device. Engaging users so they continue using your mobile app means that excellent UI/UX is essential, and there’s ample research that points to the significant return on investment of UI/UX.    Our mobile app UI/UX designers bring their user-centric design expertise and best practices into the build from the start—and are fully integrated into the Agile sprint cycle. This close alignment with the product development process bridges the gaps between mobile app design, engineering, and product teams. Building empathy and understanding through product stories, journey maps, personas, and storyboards, our designers create and maintain design systems for mobile apps that scale, ensure consistency, and improve quality.    You can be confident that when you build a mobile app with a Gorilla team, your users will be engaged and delighted, whether they’re employees, partners, or customers.     Learn more about the UI/UX practice ›

Deliver value continuously with Agile mobile app development services

Our lightweight, pragmatic Agile approach means your Gorilla development team collaborates daily, delivers incrementally, tests constantly, and is always working on improving. This approach results in a viable mobile app solution more quickly than traditional models. As a mobile app development company, we focus on the full product lifecycle, from product roadmapping to user story mapping, making sure you deliver value as early and often as possible.     Learn more about the Agile practice ›

Scale your mobile app development team with nearshoring

With complex mobile app builds, outsourcing to a mobile app development company can prove challenging. It can be hard to communicate and collaborate with offshore teams that don’t work within your business day and lack English fluency. Outsourcing in Latin America (often referred to as nearshoring), offers the ideal combination of location, language, culture, and education you need to support your enterprise mobile app build.    Based in our nearshore development hubs in Costa Rica, Colombia, and Mexico, our developers work in the same or adjacent time zones as you and your teams, are English-fluent, and are culturally aligned with your organization. Our nearshoring approach means you get more value from your budget, achieve continuous value delivery, and realize amazing results for your most strategic mobile apps.     Learn more about our nearshore development services ›

Mobile app development approaches: what’s the best choice?

PROS
CONS

Native mobile app development

Builds an app to be used exclusively in a single platform, such as iOS or Android.

PROS
  • You can take advantage of all the target platform’s features and capabilities.
  • May result in increased performance.
CONS
  • If you need to support multiple devices, you will have to build and maintain multiple code bases. This can be costly and time-consuming.
  • Introduces complexity to managing your software development lifecycle.

Hybrid mobile app development

Blends native app and web development. Code written with web development languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is embedded into a native app using plugins like Apache Cordova or Ionic Capacitor to access the platform’s native features.

PROS
  • Enables a write-once and use on many platforms approach
CONS
  • Can be challenging to achieve the high level of user experience that might be required.

Cross-platform mobile app development

Builds one code base that can be used across multiple devices using a mobile app development framework.

PROS
  • Easier to build robust, custom mobile apps that feel like native apps
  • Building a single code base means app is secure, stable and easier to maintain
CONS
  • May limit access to individual platform functions and features.

Progressive web apps (PWAs)

Builds a web site using web technologies that run in a web browser, with the resulting web site feeling and acting like a mobile app.

PROS
  • Builds a web site using web technologies that run in a web browser, with the resulting web site feeling and acting like a mobile app.
  • Simplified deployment and maintenance.
CONS
  • May limit access to individual platform functions and features.
