Top 6 Mobile Development Companies to watch in 2021
Starting in early 2016 we can see the global mobile app market skyrocket, starting a trend that will continue for years to come. Our mobile phones have everything we need: contacts & friends, cameras, payments, music, work related emails. Having a mobile app for your service determines an answer to Hamlet’s question — to be or not to be — and even Shakespare’s plays are to be found on mobile audiobooks or e-book readers.
To follow trends, stay on tune, get inspired or look for a future development house, I have created a list of companies that are worth observing in the upcoming year. They outperform their competition in creating innovative and relevant apps that not only meet, but set a certain standard on the market. We want to see apps that are well thought-out, have an UX-based design with up-to-date features and are tested for bugs or missfunctions before release. Finally, those ones that truly make a difference. Let’s see who delivers the whole package!
Best mobile app development companies for your project
1. Miquido
As many awards and rankings confirm, Miquido is a highly regarded mobile development company, well known in the industry. They are best known for their Abbey Road Studios success, rewarded with music app of the year at the UK App Awards in 2018. But they are often listed in rankings for their efficient e-commerce and banking apps as well. What makes them so unique? It’s the product strategy that takes an app from level zero to a fully designed service. They work across platforms and devices, making the app adjustable for all devices from the very first step. That type of thinking is important — it makes functionalities and UX based design so much easier to adapt later on. Based on the purpose of the app, the Miquido team defines the vision of the product, analyses the project in comparison to the competition, and creates a detailed roadmap that allows you to plan the release some time ahead.
When you use apps designed by Miquido, you can feel that they are well thought-out and every detail is planned ahead. That’s one of the most important values in the industry.
2. Fueled
Their main advantage is a wide scope of services — from digital marketing up to designing VR apps. This perspective might be important for mobile design and provide insights for custom apps that want to scale their objectives. This way the Fueled team might not only build an app, but build a brand with a well designed advertisement plan or graphics that match across platforms. They have a wide portfolio of newsweed apps and e-commerce experience. With a wide range of services and an extended experience approach, your idea is only limited by your imagination.

At 10 pearls they make sure that the team is on board.

They have built up a University programme, providing training sessions & workshops for their employees with not only tech-focused knowledge, but soft skills to learn as well. There are also labs that test blockchain technologies, test and compare speech to text apps and devices, prognose the future of facial detection and virtual reality, create detailed chatbots that might be useful in healthcare, test capabilities of image recognition and augmented reality. When you know that you work with a team of professionals that have lab support at hand, you know, that your project will be well taken care of.
4. Blue Label Labs
Blue Label Labs creates apps that are about user design. To each service they provide Design Sprint, custom and detailed UX testing backed up by user stories & journeys. And since the testing phase is important in user design, Blue Label Labs team takes building a clickable wireframe prototype very seriously. Gathered data, including interviews and surveys, is then taken into the development process, where another user-based approach is taken into measure. User Interface makes the design intuitive and instinctual, giving the app a modern feel across all platforms. Blue Label Labs provide their services for wearables, VR and AR, smart TV’s, smart home devices and other. That’s a wide range of platforms, on which your app can follow its users.

With in-depth research about the upcoming product, they are able to deliver an app that matches the expectations of the market and its users, that’s why Willow Tree team focuses on building a research & deployment scenario first. At every stage of the mobile development game, they consult and collaborate with product strategists, SEO specialist and analysts, to make sure that the promised quality is delivered.
6. Tack Mobile
Maybe a team with a limited portfolio will surprise you on this list, but Tack Mobile works magic and delivers apps that have the spark of innovation in them. Whether it’s a management, event or a fitness app, you can see the precision and thought taken in the design as if somebody played all the scenarios of how an app should work & how to simplify this process.
