Q1
Should I choose a Native app or cross-platform (React Native/Flutter)?
It depends on your budget and performance needs. Apps that need top performance and deep hardware access usually fit Native; most regular commercial apps do well with cross-platform, saving cost and time.
Q2
Do I own the full app source code once it is finished?
Yes. Once final payment is complete, you receive the full source code and deployment documentation for the app.
Q3
Does CSlant help publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes, we handle the full submission process and make sure it complies with each platform's policies.
Q4
Can the app integrate with our company's existing backend, ERP, or CRM system?
Yes. We have experience connecting mobile apps to existing backend, ERP, or CRM systems via APIs — whatever platform or language they're built on, including systems CSlant itself built.
Q5
Is the app supported after launch?
Yes, all our packages include post-launch support; you can also subscribe to a longer-term maintenance plan if you need ongoing technical support.
Q6
How long does it take to build an app?
Typically 6–10 weeks for Starter and 3–5 months for Growth, depending on scope. We agree a concrete roadmap with you before starting.
Q7
Can we start with an MVP and grow it later?
Yes. We recommend an MVP to validate the market first; the architecture is designed to grow in phases without a rewrite.
Q8
How is AI built into the app?
It depends on the problem: a Q&A assistant over your data, smart search, personalised recommendations or document scanning (OCR). CSlant advises which parts add real value before building them.
Q9
How much does an app cost?
It depends on the number of screens, features, integrations and platforms. The plans above give a reference range; a detailed quote follows the requirements call.
Q10
What do I need to prepare before building an app?
Your goals, main user groups, a wish list of features and a few reference apps. If things are still fuzzy, we start with a discovery session and a screen-flow design.
Q11
Does the app need a backend and an admin panel?
Almost always: the backend stores data and runs business logic, and the admin panel manages users, content and orders. CSlant builds all three.
Q12
Whose name are the App Store and Google Play accounts in?
They should be in your company's name. CSlant guides the sign-up and handles the review process; account fees are paid directly to Apple and Google.
Q13
Can the app work offline?
Depending on the feature, the app can store data on the device and sync when back online — handy for sales, stock-taking or field-survey apps.
Q14
How is user data kept secure in the app?
Encrypted connections, token-based authentication, role-based permissions, secure on-device storage for sensitive data, and compliance with App Store and Google Play privacy requirements.
Q15
Can you take over an app built by another team?
Yes. We review the existing code first, then propose gradual upgrades or rebuild only what is needed, without disrupting your users.
Q16
Can the app include payments, push notifications and maps?
Yes: payment gateways, push notifications, maps and location, social login and other common third-party services.
