• Engagement. Making apps engaging so users stay and then come back for more
• Dynamic. Designing functional mobile apps that add value to your brand

STAR Digital has a solid track record of app development dating back to 2010, developing apps for both the Apple and Android platforms with new projects coming on stream every month.

iOS (Apple) Apps & Getting on the App Store

As approved Apple iOS developers we know the pitfalls of iPhone and iPad application design. Our in-house developers and project managers can meet in person at our offices or online to discuss your requirements and suggest the best solution for your business. We can help you understand what Apple will and won't allow on the store, the methods of promotional activity allowable and any charging structures.

App development can be fun and exciting, and is another method for generating brand awareness and lead generation. For instance, Fellows Auctioneers launched their app with us in February 2011 and by September had achieved 2,500 downloads. Honeywell launched an app for MK Electric with us in October 2010 and in 11 months have achieved a staggering 12,500 downloads.

We believe that app development also needs to link into your e-marketing efforts, so in July of 2011 we also developed a portal for users to make the most of push notifications via a simple web interface, and we've also developed a reporting portal to track engagement with apps once downloaded, including stats on the number of downloads made to an app for magazine publishers.

Integration with back office systems is another area where we specialise, and a number of apps coming on stream will be linking up to live systems such as Dynamics NAV for their data, providing users with a far richer experience.

Android App Development & The Marketplace

We are approved Android developers and we have in-house developers and project managers available to meet with you at our offices or online to discuss your project in detail.

Our magazine publishing apps are available on both platforms and are now very cost effective to deploy together. with prices starting at under £1000, plus we also have a new leasing programme for our digital publishing apps that makes them even more cost effective.

Testing Android development is key due to the number of devices. We currently develop and test for HTC devices, the Samsung Galaxy and Motorola Xoom. It is worth noting that unlike Apple, Android App performance is dependent on the device being used. Our findings show that the Motorola Xoom is currently the fastest and smoothest tablet available.

Call us on 01604 696385 to find out more about our Android development team, and also to understand the differences between developing apps for iOS (Apple) and Android (Google), and the checklist that you need to go through when looking at porting an Apple iPhone app over to Android, or developing for the new generation of Android tablets.
