Mobile App Development
Transforming innovative ideas into high performing mobile applications
Our recipe to making successful mobile apps
User Interface and Experience Design
Mobile users prefer apps that look great and function well. Hipster adopts a design-first approach – offering UI UX design services for mobile apps developed by us. We convert your ideas into wireframes and prototypes to finalize the app requirements before development begins.
IOS, Andriod and Hybrid Apps
Choose from IOS, Andriod and, cross-platform mobile app. Our team of 60 comprises experts who can specialize in different areas of development.
Scalable and secure technical architecture
It is essential to plan for scalability from day one. From our experience, companies struggle when their architecture is too rigid to handle a sudden increase in workload. While it might be possible to work around the architecture constraints later, it is often expensive and time-consuming.
Project Management Experience
We have experience in the traditional waterfall and agile project management. Our project manager will work with you to bring your app or MVP to market efficiently and effectively.
Bring your brand and customers closer
Hipster understands the importance of mobile apps to scale, automate the business operations and engage with consumers for your brand.
Only the
best is good
enough.

Commonly Asked Questions
Progressive Web App (PWA), Native App, or Hybrid App?
Choose PWA if you want to develop a simple solution, have a smaller budget, and have a shorter timeline. Requiring no downloads, PWA can reach a vast audience.
Native apps are great for solutions that utilize the phone's hardware functionalities, e.g., camera. It also offers more security options, better performance, and user experience.
Hybrid apps work best for content-based solutions that aren't overly complex. It requires only one code source to run on both Andriod and iOS and hence is less costly to develop.
What is the best technology for mobile apps?
All technologies have pros and cons. Generally, we recommend Flutter for Hybrid app, Swift for Native iOS app, and Kotlin/Java for Android app.
What is the cost?
Depending on scope, complexity, and technologies utilized, the cost may vary from $5,000 to $200,000. We can discuss the options after a better understanding of your needs.
How long does development take?
The time required may vary between 3 months to 12 months and beyond, depending on project scope. We recommend launching in phases for projects that take more than six months, starting with an MVP and working towards a full product launch.
What is a prototype? Should I test using a prototype before coding?
A prototype is a simulation of the final product before coding commences. One common misconception is to skip creating the high-fidelity prototype and testing it to save time. However, from our experience with more than 50 projects, we discovered that high-fidelity prototype testing and iterations could dramatically reduce development time and cost. Overall, we recommend prototyping to save time and deliver a quality product that users have already tested.

Work with us
My first project with Hipster Inc was in late 2017, when we were looking into ways to better our Tueetor app. It was a tall order, as the app was already gaining some popularity in the community back then, and we did not want to “reinvent the wheel” too much, for fear of losing it.
It turned out to be one of the best decisions we have ever made. Not only did Nikhil and his team create a more robust, intuitive and scaleable version, in a nutshell, they made it elegant. So complete, the Tueetor app went on to bag the Asia Smart App Award for 2019. Hipster has also been instrumental in many groundbreaking features we see later on the app, winning us even more users and accolades.
Convinced that the team would continue to shine, I invited them back in 2020 to assist in the development of 10-Minute Tutor – an on-demand tutor app that combines both video-telephony and marketplace core functionalities into one. Hipster rose to the challenge.
In addition to mobile applications, Nikhil, alongside his talented and committed team members, also advise and develop some of Tueetor’s web stacks. So proficient, responsive and yet affordable in every way, we strongly recommend Hipster Inc to organisations that seek not just a reliable technology provider, but a trustworthy partner.

Oon Tian Sern
Founder
I’ve known the team for many years now, and have used their IT consulting service to help build mobile apps, websites and software developments. Impressive work yet cost-effective prices. Little surprise that they have made great traction and expanded into other cities such as Korea in a relatively short time.
