App Development Request Checklist for Japan: Cost, Review, Backend, and Operations

App Development Starts Before Coding

Many app projects become expensive because the team starts development before clarifying users, features, backend needs, App Store requirements, privacy, and operations. A good app development company should help you define the product before writing too much code.

Checklist Before Requesting an App Quote

Target users: customers, staff, members, creators, drivers, stores, or admins.

Platforms: iOS only, Android only, both, or PWA first.

Accounts: login, roles, social sign-in, organization accounts, or guest access.

Backend: database, API, file storage, notifications, admin tools, and integrations.

App Store review: privacy policy, screenshots, demo account, reviewer notes, and permissions.

Operations: support, analytics, crash monitoring, updates, and maintenance.

Native, Cross-Platform, or PWA?

Native iOS and Android can be best for premium UX and device integration. Cross-platform can be practical for MVPs. A PWA can be a smart first step when app store distribution is not required immediately. The right answer depends on budget, timeline, device features, and long-term product goals.
