Process
From business problem to operating system
01. Define the opportunity
Clarify users, usage frequency, mobile context and the business outcome the application must create.
02. Prototype & scope
Design the core journeys, test the prototype and agree on a measurable first release.
03. Build in releases
Develop the application, backend and integrations in complete slices that can be tested early on real devices.
04. Release & improve
Prepare store listings, test release builds, monitor reliability and use product evidence to prioritise the next cycle.
Timeline
A roadmap shaped by scope and evidence
Discovery and prototype
Often 2–4 weeks depending on the clarity of the journey, data and connected systems.
Cross-platform MVP
Often 10–16 weeks for a focused scope; applications with many roles or integrations are divided into stages.
Confirmed roadmap
Set after scope, data responsibilities, publishing accounts and acceptance criteria are agreed.
Frequently asked questions
Before we begin
01What determines mobile app development cost?
Cost depends on user roles, workflows, screens, backend services, administration tools, API integrations, payments or device capabilities, security and post-release support. Friday Works prices the project after the first-release scope, data responsibilities and acceptance criteria are clear.
02Does Friday Works develop mobile apps in Ho Chi Minh City?
Yes. Friday Works works directly with businesses in Ho Chi Minh City and remotely across Vietnam. A project begins with discovery and a prototype before moving into testable releases on real devices.
03Should we build native or cross-platform?
Cross-platform development is suitable when a business needs one shared codebase for iOS and Android, efficient releases and a consistent experience. Native development can be a better fit when the product relies heavily on platform-specific performance or capabilities. The decision should follow the use case and technical risks.
04Does the application need a backend and administration dashboard?
Most operational applications need a backend for accounts, data, permissions, notifications and integrations, and may need a dashboard for content or request handling. These components should be included in scope and cost planning from the start.
05Can Friday Works support App Store and Google Play releases?
Release support can cover build preparation, metadata, imagery, application signing and technical review feedback within the agreed scope. Developer accounts should remain under the client's control.
06Who owns the source code, store accounts and data?
Source-code ownership, repositories, Apple and Google accounts, backend infrastructure and data are defined in the proposal and agreement. We favour arrangements where the business controls its core digital assets.
