How We Help You

We started with a single mission: help startups grow

Foresight started with a mission - to help individual startups and entrepreneurs to enter the lucrative and expanding mobile app market. Our design process is specifically tailored to produce and validate Minimum Viable Product apps with a fast and clear ROI.

All this means a minimal outlay is required to produce an app which brings in revenue from day one and can then be iterated on later to add advanced functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to keep an app running in the UK?

Maintaining and updating an app is an ongoing investment, essential for keeping your app relevant, functional, and competitive. The cost of keeping an app running in the UK can vary based on several factors:

  1. Hosting and Server Costs: These costs depend on the type of server you choose, and the number of active users your app has. Cloud-based solutions offer scalability and flexibility, with costs typically based on usage.
  2. Maintenance and Updates: Regular updates are essential for fixing bugs, improving performance, adding new features, and ensuring compatibility with the latest operating systems and devices.
  3. Marketing and Promotion: To attract and retain users, you'll need to invest in marketing and promotional activities, such as app store optimisation, advertising, and social media campaigns.
  4. Customer Support: Providing prompt and effective customer support is crucial for a positive user experience.
  5. Licensing and Fees: You may need to pay ongoing fees for third-party services, APIs, libraries, or software licenses used in your app.
  6. Monitoring and Analytics: Tracking app performance and user behaviour is essential for making informed decisions and identifying areas for improvement. The more advanced tools come with a subscription fee.

Generally, the cost of maintaining an app can range from 10% to 20% of the original development cost annually. The actual cost can vary depending on your app's specific needs and your own capabilities for some of the above tasks.

Can a free app make money?

There are several ways a free app can generate revenue, and many successful apps use a combination of these strategies:

  1. In-app advertising: Displaying ads within the app is a common way to monetise free apps.
  2. In-app purchases: Offering additional features, content, or virtual goods for purchase within the app can be a lucrative revenue stream.
  3. Freemium model: Provide a basic version of the app for free, while offering a premium version with additional features or content for a fee.
  4. Subscription model: Offer recurring subscriptions for access to exclusive content, features, or services within the app.
  5. Sponsorships and partnerships: Collaborate with brands or businesses to promote their products or services within your app. This could involve sponsored content, branded features, or affiliate marketing.  

At Foresight Mobile, we can help you explore the most suitable monetisation strategies for your app, ensuring it generates revenue while providing value to your users.

The key to success with a free app is to attract a large and engaged user base. By providing a high-quality app with compelling features and content, you can increase the chances of users opting for in-app purchases, subscribing to premium features, or interacting with ads.

How much does it cost to build an app in the UK?

The cost of building an app in the UK can vary widely depending on several factors, including:

  • Complexity: Simple apps with basic features will naturally cost less than complex apps with advanced functionality, integrations, and complex designs.
  • Features: The number and type of features you want to include in your app will significantly impact the development cost.
  • Design: Custom UI/UX design and intricate animations can add to the overall cost.
  • Development Team: The hourly rates of developers and designers can differ depending on their experience and location.

At Foresight Mobile, we understand that every project has a unique budget. That's why we offer tailored solutions to ensure your app development stays within your financial constraints. We work closely with you to understand your specific needs and priorities, providing transparent cost estimates and flexible payment options.

We can also leverage our EU-wide network of skilled developers to find the most cost-effective talent for your project without compromising on quality.

Can I publish to non-Google Android App Stores?

Foresight Mobile can assist you with publishing your app to the multitude of Android stores worldwide. These include manufacturer app stores such as the Samsung Galaxy Store, Amazon App Store, Huawei AppGallery and Xiaomi GetApps. We can also help you distribute through China-specific stores if required.

How long does it take to develop an app?

The development time for an app can vary significantly depending upon a number of factors. A simple app with basic functionality might take 2-4 months, with more complex apps taking up to 6 months to complete.

Why do mobile apps need maintenance?

Mobile apps need maintenance to ensure their long-term success, security, and optimal performance in the ever-changing mobile app landscape. Regular maintenance allows us to quickly identify and fix bugs, optimise your user experience, and prevent unnecessary downtime. 

Keeping your app updated with the latest platform requirements, industry standards, and user expectations is crucial for maintaining compliance, competitiveness, and relevance. Maintenance also includes vital security updates to safeguard user data and preserve user trust. 

Additionally, app maintenance offers the opportunity to continuously refine features and functionality based on user feedback, KPIs and market trends, contributing to user satisfaction, increased retention, and sustained growth for your app.

How do you support our business goals?

We support your business goals by aligning our app maintenance and development efforts with your strategic objectives and user needs. From the onset, we work closely with you to understand your business vision, target audience, and app requirements.

Our experienced developers and CTO have a wide range of technical and product management experience across various industries. This knowledge, combined with a fresh perspective on your application will allow us to focus our maintenance efforts and provide new ideas for your business.

How do you monitor mobile app performance?

We monitor your app’s performance through a combination of custom analytics dashboards, performance monitoring and crash monitoring. This enables us to proactively identify and resolve potential problems before they impact user experience.

By closely tracking vital performance metrics like app crashes, load times, and user engagement, we can identify and resolve potential problems before they impact user experience. We also monitor customer reviews and feedback, as well as conduct regular quality assurance tests with our internal test team. This comprehensive approach ensures that your app delivers a smooth and reliable service.
