Assessing the existing app

The App Inspection: How future-proof is your app?

We review the architecture, code quality, update backlog and store compliance of your existing app. You receive a traffic-light report, a prioritized list of measures and a debrief. Expressly also for apps we did not build.

Who is the Inspection for?

For anyone who has an app and wants to know where they stand.

Your app runs, somehow. But every new iOS makes you nervous, the store sends warnings, and nobody really dares touch the code anymore. The App Inspection is for you if you recognize at least one of these sentences:

“Our app still runs on Xamarin. How long can that last?”
“The agency from back then is no longer reachable, and no one dares touch the code.”
“The store complains with every update, and we don’t know why.”
“I want a maintenance contract, but you didn’t build the app.”

What you get

Three things you will have in hand afterwards.

Traffic-light report

We assess your app along the critical points: architecture, code quality, update backlog, store compliance. Green, yellow or red, per point, without jargon.

Prioritized list of measures

What is urgent, what is important, what can wait? You get a clear order instead of a wall of to-dos. With it you can plan and budget, with us or with your own team.

Debrief

We go through the report and measures together, answer your questions and show which paths follow from them. Afterwards you know where you stand and what the sensible next step is.

The path to the maintenance contract

The Inspection is the prerequisite for the App Maintenance Contract, because we don’t maintain any app sight unseen. With the report the way is clear, even if your app comes from another service provider.

How the Inspection works

Four steps, little effort for your team.

1 · Pre-conversation & access

We briefly clarify the key facts: technology, stores, known pain points. You give us access to the source code, on request with a non-disclosure agreement.

2 · Review

André Krämer or one of our senior architects reviews architecture, code quality, update backlog and store compliance. Your team keeps working undisturbed in the meantime.

3 · Report

You receive the traffic-light report with the prioritized list of measures: understandable for management, concrete enough for developers.

4 · Debrief

A joint appointment by video call: findings, priorities, paths. With that the Inspection ends, with no obligation to a further step.

Price & crediting

Fixed price. And you take 1,000.00 € with you.

Assessing the existing app

The App Inspection

Pre-conversation, review of architecture, code quality, update backlog and store compliance, traffic-light report with a prioritized list of measures, debrief. Conducted by André Krämer or one of our senior architects. All prices net plus VAT.

The Inspection pays off twice over: it is the well-founded basis for deciding about your app, and it opens the way to the App Maintenance Contract, even for apps we did not build.

2,499.00 €Fixed price 1,000.00 € credited toward Stage 1

And if you go further afterwards?

The Inspection is part of the app journey. If you decide afterwards on a modernization or new build with us, 1,000.00 € are credited toward Stage 1. Or you place the app in firm hands: with the report, the way to the App Maintenance Contract from 498.00 € per month is clear.

Why you can trust the findings

“Your app is fine” is a result too.

The traffic light can also show green. If your app stands solidly and needs only a few measures, we write exactly that in the report. You get findings, not a sales document, and you can work through the list of measures with your own team too.

The view comes from practice: we migrated the iLOG app of the Bünting Group from Xamarin.Forms to .NET MAUI, the ODYSYS D3 driver app runs daily with over 1,000 drivers, we have been reliably developing Deltaplan’s FIS app since 2019, and at KMS/HERMLE the automated store deployment came along with it. We know what future-proof apps look like, and how to recognize ailing ones.

Frequently asked questions

Answered clearly.

You didn’t build our app at all. Do you review it anyway?

Yes, that is exactly what the Inspection is for. Most of the apps we review come from other service providers or internal teams. All you need for it is access to the source code and a bit of information about the build and stores. We don’t pass judgment on the work back then, we assess the condition of today.

Our app is still based on Xamarin. What does that mean for us?

Xamarin support ended in May 2024, and the platform no longer meets new store requirements. The path leads to .NET MAUI, and it is well doable: the Inspection shows what specifically lies ahead of you and in which order. Migration then happens in stages, at your own pace.

What does the traffic-light report contain in the end?

An assessment of your app along the critical points: architecture, code quality, update backlog and store compliance. Green, yellow or red per point, plus a prioritized list of measures on what comes first and what can wait. In the debrief we go through everything together so that no question stays open.

Why is the Inspection a prerequisite for the App Maintenance Contract?

Because we don’t maintain any app sight unseen. Before we stand behind your app with fixed response times, we need to know how it is built and where the risks lie. The Inspection creates exactly this basis. For apps we built ourselves, it is not required.

What does the Inspection cost, and what is credited?

The App Inspection costs 2,499.00 € net as a fixed price. If you decide afterwards on a modernization or new build with us, 1,000.00 € are credited toward Stage 1. In addition, the Inspection opens the way to the App Maintenance Contract from 498.00 € per month.

Still unsure?

Take the free self-test first.

12 questions, about three minutes: is your app store-fit? You will see instantly how future-proof your app’s framework, store compliance and release process are. The Inspection is then the logical next step, but only when you want it.
