Industry-specific approach

Even though our company serves businesses that come from very different industries, we understand that each of them has its own specific needs and challenges. As an education app development company we pay special attention to the following aspects.

Copyright

Usually, e-learning apps contain unique methodologies and information that are only available through subscription. To protect your intellectual property, our development team takes measures such as content watermarks, anti-screenshot protection, access control systems, and more.

Pricing plans

Different subscription plans provide different educational capabilities to users of the e-learning app. We can implement pricing plans that  cater to various user needs and budget constraints.

Engaging design

To make users stay and return for new knowledge, it is important not only to provide unique content but to present it in the right way. Our design team can spice up your edtech app with animation, illustrations, and 3D design to create an immersive and enjoyable learning experience.

SEO optimisation

If you as well opt for web development in creating your edtech app, its visibility in search engines will be important. For this purpose we use Next.js framework with its built-in optimizations to ensure your app can be easily discovered by potential users.

Payment model

A seamless and secure payment model is essential. Typically, users pay upfront, with funds held in escrow until the session is confirmed as complete, ensuring trust for both parties. Our team can help implement a robust payment system to meet these needs effectively and provide a secure and user-friendly transaction experience.

Advantages of education mobile app development with React Native

When developing educational mobile apps for iOS and Android, we often suggest React Native for cross-platform mobile app development. Here are a few reasons to consider this choice.

One team for all

Native development typically requires hiring two separate mobile app development teams — one for Kotlin development for Android and another for Swift development for iOS. Cross-platform frameworks like React Native allows us to build one app that works on both platforms, which makes them more cost-effective. You can hire a single team, reducing overall development time and expenses.

Reusable code

React.js, used for web development, and React Native, used for mobile development, share identical code and logic. This means that if you decide to scale your education app in the future, the same code can be used for the web product's user interface. This approach allows for efficient development and maintenance across various platforms.

Flexibility

Pre-built components, such as push notifications, analytics, and dynamic linking, contribute to React Native's flexibility and time-effectiveness. These components streamline the development process and allow developers to build feature-rich apps efficiently.

Regular updates

The React Native community of engineers is vast and constantly updates the framework whenever native platforms introduce changes. This extensive cross-platform development technology ecosystem ensures your app stays up-to-date with the latest technological advancements and features.

Fast and efficient development

The React Native framework possesses a hot reloading feature, which allows developers to see changes in the code instantly without rebuilding the entire app. It  accelerates the development process, facilitating quick iteration and experimentation.

Better maintenance

Since both iOS and Android versions of your mobile app share the same codebase, you won't have to pay double for bug fixes or updates. This consolidated codebase significantly reduces maintenance costs and effort, making it a more cost-effective long-term solution.

Will your mobile app development company sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect my app idea?
At Ronas IT, we understand the importance of protecting your unique app idea. Yes, we are more than willing to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to ensure the confidentiality and security of your proprietary information. An NDA legally binds us to keep your project details private and prohibits us from disclosing information to third parties. This practice allows you to confidently share your vision and intricate details with our team, ensuring that your intellectual property remains protected.
How do you determine the cost of an education app development project?
The cost of an education app development project is determined by several factors, including the number of features, complexity, design requirements, and the desired timeline. Once we gather your specific requirements, we can provide the first approximate estimate. For a ballpark figure, an MVP can start at around $30,000, while more comprehensive solutions can range from $60,000 to $150,000. You can contact our managers for more accurate estimates.

Yes, we have extensive experience in both web and mobile app development. Our team can develop native and cross-platform mobile apps for iOS and Android, as well as web apps that provide high resolution and easy administration of learning resources. We ensure seamless functionality across all devices.
How does your development company protect educational platform content from being copied or screenshotted?
Educational platforms often require robust measures to protect their valuable content from being copied or screenshotted. To address this, we implement standard solutions like screen-locking mechanisms, which can help prevent unauthorized capturing of the content. While these measures are not 100% foolproof, we always inform our clients about their limitations. Additionally, we can incorporate user warnings, such as notifications that discourage screenshotting, with potential consequences like account bans. These warnings leverage native phone functionalities to reinforce content protection further. We also implement watermarks on your content as an additional layer of security. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive approach to safeguard your content as effectively as possible.
What security measures do you take to protect my edtech app?
For educational app development, we choose enterprise-ready solutions like GCP, AWS, Azure, Auth0, k8s, GitLab, and others. This helps us find the right balance between rapid development and high-quality security. In addition to these ready solutions, we run automated end-to-end tests to ensure the robustness of the application. We adhere to the principle of least privilege and implement a fine-grained approach in our development process. Frameworks that we use have built-in security. For example, Laravel, which we use for the backend, is protected from DDoS attacks, SQL injections, and CSRF. By choosing our educational app development services, you can be confident that your app is secure.
Do you suggest starting with web or mobile app development?
There's no right or wrong answer to this question. However, we suggest considering your target audience and the devices they use. If your target audience is students, mobile apps might be more convenient for on-the-go use. On the other hand, a product for educators might require integration into existing workflows, making a web app a better solution. It might be easier to start with a web app, as it allows you to reach a wider audience from the beginning without the added cost of mobile development. You could start with a web app to test your idea, then develop mobile apps later for better engagement and user experience.
