One language makes it easier to develop custom mobile apps, and that language is \u003Ca href=\"https://flutter.dev/\">Flutter\u003C/a>. Chances are, you may not have heard of Flutter.

This means when you wanted to install a new feature, you’d do it twice. Sometimes this could mean fixing bugs in two separate places as well. Think about it this way -- You wouldn’t have one baby, you’d have twins! And we all know it takes more effort to work with and raise two kids instead of one. \u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Some common phrases we’ve heard at Happy Dog are “I don’t think I have the budget for custom mobile apps” and “The potential cost of mobile apps scare me”. Let’s take a peek at some standard mobile app development pricing, shall we? \u003Ca href=\"https://www.businessofapps.com/app-developers/research/app-development-cost\">According to Business of Apps\u003C/a>, a price tag for a simple app with a basic user interface and a set of must-have features ranges from $40,000 to $60,000. A medium complexity app development project costs between $61,000 and $120,000. Finally, a complex app project would need at least $120,000 investment, if not more.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>If the thought of spending $60k on mobile apps seems daunting, or at least not in your wheelhouse, fear not. There is an alternative that could be good enough to get you started, and that is Flutter. \u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>Flutter is how you can save on mobile app development\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>What makes Flutter so capable of reducing your budgetary requirements? For starters, you don’t have to use two code-bases anymore. You can write both your iOS and Android apps in one project. \u003Cstrong>This advantage cuts development and maintenance costs.\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, Flutter's hot reload helps you quickly and easily experiment, build UIs, add features, and fix bugs faster. Experience sub-second reload times without losing state on emulators, simulators, and hardware.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Flutter also has built-in beautiful Material Design and Cupertino (iOS-flavor) widgets. This means you need less time to code these widgets, which is easier on your budget as well.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cdiv class=\"quote-container pt-12 flex items-center justify-center\" style=\"margin: 3rem calc(50% - 50vw) 6rem; background: linear-gradient(90deg, #C82B35 50%, #f2f2f2 50%);\">\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"w-4/5 -mb-12\">\n        \u003Cdiv style=\"--aspect-ratio: 16/9;\">\n            \u003Ciframe width=\"1920\" height=\"850\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/5VbAwhBBHsg?controls=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width: 100%;\">\u003C/iframe>\n        \u003C/div>\n    \u003C/div>\n\u003C/div>\n\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>Can Flutter handle what we need it to?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>This is where we were skeptical at first. Surely, you’d think you’d have more benefits coding in the native language for each platform (iOS and Android). In fact, you could make that argument. But, here’s a better way to think about it: A properly coded app on Flutter is 100x better than a poorly coded app on native iOS / Android.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>As a custom mobile app development company, we’ve thrown our fair share of complexity at Flutter. For us, it has come through time and time again. We’re not saying it doesn’t have limitations. We can say it can handle most of, if not all of, what you’d throw at it. \u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>Success stories of businesses using Flutter for mobile apps\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cdiv class=\"quote-container py-8 sm:flex items-center\">\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"md:w-3/5  mr-8\">\n        One would have to look no further than Google’s own apps to see that Flutter can handle a lot and bring success.

One morning, freshly caffeinated from tea and rearing to go, I was caught off guard. I’ll never forget that moment. While doing research, I stumbled across a video of someone reviewing this thing called _ChatGPT_. He was chatting with an AI language model, but this seemed very different. He tried to \"stump\" it – and while he did succeed at that, it also far exceeded his (and my) expectations. I could see the awe and amazement on his face as he machine generated text that sounded like it was written by a human. The discernment between 'was this a machine or a person' was blurry at the least. It was impressive to see how far technology had come, but at the same time, it made me wonder about the implications of such advanced AI. **Could machines like ChatGPT replace human intelligence?** It was a question that lingered in my mind as I observed others using the technology.","Interested in what **ChatGPT could do** for your business?","Reach out to us today",{"chatgptimage.jpg":138},{"name":139,"type":21,"size":140,"path":139},"chatgptimage.jpg",122396,"04-03-2023 15:09",{"category":143,"tag":145},[144],"Data",[146],"News","user/pages/05.blog/should-i-be-scared-of-chatgpt",1702925423825]
