Ask HN: Anyone used an iPhone development company?

3 points by healthyhippo 15y ago ↗ HN

We've got an extremely simple iPhone app we need developed to go accompany our website. My co-founder and I are too swamped with rails / android coding to do it ourselves. We've got wireframes and pseudocode written for the app, and suspect an experienced dev could knock out our app in 15 hours. Has anyone had used the development companies (e.g. iPhone Sculptors, TeraCode)? Whats their quality of output? Would they be a better fit for our type of project vs. just finding an freelancer?

Apalon.com are great. They've done a bit of work for me, and their prices are fair, and they're decent to work with.

if its extremely simple why not knock it out for android and iphone at the same time using titanium or phonegap ?

We do iPhone app dev on contract, my advise is for best results make sure your project mockups are really clear about what you need, iOS UI can be tricky to get right.
