when you have a great idea, it can be tempting to shoot out of the gate and build an app for every device that exists. However, in most cases, it�s usually a good idea to start building for one platform first, not multiple.

Android
an Android Phone/Tablet app
IOS

How big is your app?
every project is different. The number of your features/pages determine the size of your application.
Small
your app probably has around 4-5 key feature pages (excluding any static content, sign in, sign up etc.)
Medium
your app probably has around 6-9 key feature pages (excluding any static content, sign in, sign up etc.)

Will it require integration with a database?
when you decide it�s time to go beyond a static informational type of web site to something a little more �interactive� for your customers, then your website will probably need to be connected to a database. Database integration or data integration refers to combining a database with your application so that visitors can add, remove and update information in your database using the website or mobile application.

No
I want static content in my application
Don't know
