App pricing- except for some times, you will not offer smart phone apps for free and the developer you select has to be able to incorporate appropriate pricing plans for the apps. if ads are displayed on the apps, the developer has to come up with plans for generating income from them. Based on the apps, their subscription and the downloads, fees have to be determined.
  6. Communication- app developers must explain the basic technical properties of the app which is being created, so that even if you do not have a knowledge in coding, you will not be left uninformed. If you have any opinions or questions, the developer must be able to answer your questions.
  7. Has to include good features- your app developers must include some stand out features in the app so that is stands out from the thousands of apps in different mobile platforms.

App developers must provide a list of the salient features of the app and keep a tab on the approval status and the download figures of the app.
  9. Copyright- from the time the developer submits the app to you, you have to make it clear that once the app is developed, the app would become the property of your company and the developer has not rights on it. This clause has to be clearly determined in the contract.
  10. Payments- discuss the payments for the app development clearly before the process is started. You must not be stingy in your money offers, but avoid agreeing to undue claims.
