React native is by far better choice than flutter, we are creating apps in both these tech and also in native and my suggestion is Native > React native > Flutter. So when you've Cross platform option only, go with react native.

Hey, we've been working on both native and react native with mongo, node.js since quite long time. Would be happy to send you our work, is there any email ID apart from the application form where I can send our information/ work samples?

Forbes says there are quite a in the list, including balsamiq and many others above basecamp, though BC is more famous than those. Read this:- https://www.forbes.com/sites/unicefusa/2017/03/29/yemens-war...

I've personally seen most of these jobs ain't truly remote either, since they restrict core jobs to local regions mostly so that they can call employees at times.

The good thing is, it is growing; the not-so-good thing is it is still being looked down upon and not considered as the best option when organization grows or achieves X amount of revenue. You know what I mean.

I work as remote developer, or remote a dev agency for my customers (mostly in the US) and they also strive for having their own On-site team once they raise big funds, no matter how good we work from our location; so some hard realities are also there. :)

SEEIKING WORK - iOS, Android App and Unity Game Development.

Hello, we are an 8 years old team of mobile app and game developers, currently looking for new assignments in terms of mobile apps, or games or web apps. We can work on both native and cross platform technologies of app; and our skills are iOS, swift, objective-C, Android, Java, react native, cordova, Unity with C#, PHP, Laravel.

Contact me at sudeep@agicent.com, or see our portfolio at http://www.agicent.com.

I hear you, so apart from hiring an agency, my advise remains stick to following:-

1. Hire at least 3 people and not 1. 2. One Can be senior with an ability to work on multiple techs, while other 2 can be even fresh engineers (around or under 6 months of exp in their respective technology i.e android or iOS etc) and they shall scale themselves up in good company (It's tried and tested by many entrepreneurs, including myself). 3. Utilize that senior tech guy more like CTO, architect, and backbone programmer (one who takes care of DB, APIs, troubleshooting, guiding, figuring out libraries to use, pros and cons of various tech. stakes etc) and remaining 2 fresh would do all sort of coding in less cost.

It's not unrealistic, I personally code on all these technologies (primarily on iOS and android native), but such engineer can be pretty costly and might not come on equity only easily.

Minimum experience of such engineer should be 6 to 10 (I'm 10) and they are either working on a pretty niche good paying job or running their own stuff, or selling their services as outsourcing firm (I do this, and have team of 30 other developers also).

Apart from this,even if you hire such engineer he would be able to do one piece only at a time and that's not good for today's time-to-market dynamics.

Also, you've paid already good for MVP (did you hire a local US firm?), I do most of the MVPs under 10 K, and price increase only when functionality is large, you don't need to develop things from scratch these days.

nevertheless, my best suggestion to you would be:-

1. Hire a person as CTO or Tech lead, who know 1 or 2 of technologies you're looking for, but may not necessarily do all the coding. 2. His KRAs should be architecture creation, leading everything tech at company, align business goals with tech. tasks, hire an execution engineering team, and get the stuff done by day to day management.

3. Allow him to vet and hire development agencies or teams, negotiate on deliverable while you give him a realistic budget, and then give him realistic development goals.

One guy can't do it all (even if he knows it all), a whole team of mobile dev inhouse is more costly than hiring a developer agency (it should be a good one though) so decide accordingly.

Feel free to ask me for any further discussion on topic, my site is http://www.agicent.com.

Anyone can calculate cost of mobile app (iOS, Android) yourself by answering some questions on this tool, also feel free to give your feedback.

This is ofcourse not a replacement of manual estimation, but would give you a nice idea of the budget you should be taking for hiring an app development company.

Hello There, we run a small app development agency called as Agicent App Company (agicent.com), and we've worked a lot with BLE devices (including scanners, beacons, printers etc) for native iOS and Android kit.

An example is an enterprise app that emulates the large server and work integrated with BLE ring scanner, in a warehouse setup; please check that https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/smart-gladiator-link/id68421....

Can speak more at sudeep@agicent.com to take it forward.
