Flutter performance: Is it as good as the performance of a native app?

Sure. Flutter applications are known for their remarkably high native performance. The SDK has most of the native components, and there is no need for a bridge to communicate with native modules. Although depending on the features, some things might run slightly less smoothly, the overall performance is as good as the one of natively created apps.

Reduced cost: Can I save money by developing my app in Flutter?

Choosing Flutter for your project means using just one codebase, within one technologically connected team, going at one pace. You don’t have to look for vendors of two different technologies and then synchronise their work. There’s no need to duplicate the same payment function or social media authorisation. However, this doesn’t mean that you will be able to limit the number of outlays by half. It is often a bit more complicated to deliver a certain functionality for cross-platform. To grasp the bigger picture here, let’s take a look at some numbers. It is estimated that it can take up to 20% – 50% more time to create a cross-platform feature than to create the same feature natively. However, compared to building both apps separately, 20% to 50% more time spent can still be a winning case for your budget. Also, try to think about the course of events once your application succeeds. When it goes into maintenance it is much easier to maintain the app with one Flutter specialist. Your business might not be able to find tasks for several different developers full-time just by maintaining the code.

Flutter vs React Native – Which one should I choose for my project?

React Native is often mentioned as the closest competitor to Flutter. Both can save you time and resources, both will grant you a great performing native-like app. Before making your pick, it’s best to review your project’s requirements and specify your own needs. However, here are some factors to keep in mind: User Interface : If you care about gesture-related UI (swiping, dragging, etc.) or would like the UI to reflect your branding, Flutter will be the way to go. Project scope : If your app is going to be maintained and developed over the years (or the team working on it may change over time), Flutter may be a better solution. Mechanisms and integrations : If you wish to use more complex mechanisms (Bluetooth, geolocation etc.) or external integrations (such as Google Maps, Amazon Cognito), go with React Native – it has a wider spectrum of libraries available for now. Web development : If the web is the key touchpoint for your business, choose React Native. The framework produces a browser application much closer to native developed products and seems to be more stable at the moment.

Flutter app features: Can I have the same features as in a native app?

Absolutely. The sky is no longer the limit! Anything that can be developed natively, can be done in Flutter as well. Most of the features can be implemented within the Flutter architecture. However, even if some solutions are not directly available there, you can always implement some parts of your app natively and call them from Flutter using Platform Channels.

Faster app development

Improved performance

Cross-platform development

User-oriented design

Flutter allows your team to build an application in a faster and more dynamic way. Instead of writing separate codebases for Android and iOS apps, developers just need to create a single one that will work for both.

That means saving nearly half of the time it takes to build both apps natively. Moreover, Flutter’s “hot reload” ensures quick bug fixes and shortens the time needed for adding new features and changes in UI.

Flutter performs incredibly well both on iOS and Android. Dart – a programming language used in Flutter – compiles into native code, which results in excellent app performance, so you can be sure your users will receive a smooth, native-like app experience without crashing.

And since Flutter widgets are a part of the application itself and not the platform, the risk of compatibility issues on different OS versions is also greatly reduced.

With a single codebase used for both platforms, you won’t need separate development teams for iOS and Android. About seventy percent of the source code is shared and reused, hence even more time and resources can be saved in the future.

Having one app for both Android and iOS also equals less time spent on testing, which means QA procedures are greatly simplified and require less effort.

Flutter was created to help bring the best app experience possible to your users. Thanks to a rich set of Material Design, Cupertino (iOS-flavor) and custom widgets built using Flutter’s own framework, we can create beautiful, brand-driven and user-oriented designs created with engagement in mind.

And if you’d like to take your app’s visuals to the next level, Flutter also excels at animation and motion design features.

Understanding your idea

To start with, we want to learn more about your idea for a Flutter application, as well as identify the scope of the entire project. In order to do that, we go through your business goals and expectations, discuss the potential features, technology solutions and the time needed to deliver them. When this phase comes to a close, we should be able to provide you with a general development schedule and pricing.

Polishing the vision

We’d like to see your idea turn into success as much as you do, and that’s why, in order to aid you in picking the right strategy and polish your idea, we put together a session of Data, Product or Strategy workshops – whatever is best in your specific case. By the end of this stage, we have wireframes of your Flutter application, as well as the initial design drafts, we’ve gathered development requirements, and got the basic documentation of the project.

Bringing your project to life

Time for the exciting part! When the project kicks off, we finish up the designs, and start working on your Flutter app. Keep in mind that we see you as our development partner, and that’s why we encourage you to be fully engaged throughout the process. The length of this phase depends on the app size and complexity, but as a general rule it takes us about 3 months to create a minimum viable product.

Your product enters the market

The big day is here! Once we make sure that your product is ready to take the market by storm, we take care of both the deployment and release. Time is of essence during this phase, so we ensure that every part of the system is released on schedule and works perfectly, without any downtime. After your Flutter application goes live, you can also count on us to provide ongoing support.

Enhancing your product

Your Flutter app is released, but our journey doesn’t have to end here. At Miquido, we put an emphasis on maintaining long-term relationships with our clients. Were you to decide that your app needs extra features or enhancements – we’ve got you. We start working right away, while continuing to support the existing version. And if at some point you’d like to transfer the project to your in-house team, we’ll help you plan the process and make sure it goes smoothly. Let’s make your business grow together!
