Question 1

Flutter vs React Native — which should I choose in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Flutter is the better choice for most projects in 2026. It offers a single codebase for Android, iOS and web, faster performance, and a growing ecosystem. React Native is worth considering only if your team is already strong in JavaScript or needs deep React web integration.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

A simple MVP app typically costs between £2,500 and £5,000. A full-featured app with backend and both platforms ranges from £5,000 to £15,000. AI-powered features add £1,500 to £4,000 on top.

Question 3

How long does it take to build a Flutter app?

Accepted Answer

A basic MVP takes 4 to 8 weeks. A full production app takes 8 to 16 weeks. Using FlutterFlow for rapid prototyping can cut the initial build to 1 to 2 weeks.

Question 4

What is FlutterFlow and is it good for production apps?

Accepted Answer

FlutterFlow is a visual low-code builder on top of Flutter. It is excellent for MVPs and prototypes. For complex apps needing custom logic or animations, standard Flutter gives more control.

Question 5

How do I add AI features to my existing app?

Accepted Answer

Connect an LLM API — OpenAI GPT-4 or Anthropic Claude — for chat, content generation or smart search. For images, use Google Vision API. For on-device predictions, use TensorFlow Lite. Most AI integrations take 1 to 3 weeks.

Question 6

What is the difference between an MVP and a full app?

Accepted Answer

An MVP includes only core features to test your idea with real users. A full app adds polished UI, all features, admin dashboard and production backend. Always start with an MVP to save cost and validate before building everything.

Question 7

Can I use Supabase instead of Firebase for a Flutter app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Supabase is open source, uses PostgreSQL, and gives more control over data. Firebase is easier to start with and has better real-time sync. For complex queries, Supabase wins. For quick MVPs, Firebase is faster.

Question 8

How do I get my app approved on the Google Play Store?

Accepted Answer

Ensure your app has a privacy policy, meets the target API level (API 34 in 2026), all permissions are justified, and your screenshots accurately represent the app. Review takes 1 to 3 days.

Question 9

What free resources are available to learn app development?

Accepted Answer

The Flutter documentation at flutter.dev is the best starting point. Abdullah Indhar's free PDF library on this site has 31 books covering electronics, programming, networking and software — all free, no sign-up needed.

Question 10

How do I improve my app's SEO and visibility?

Accepted Answer

For mobile apps, optimise your Play Store and App Store listings (title, description, keywords). For web apps, use clear title tags, meta descriptions, schema markup (FAQPage, HowTo, WebApplication), fast load times, and genuine helpful content.
