Your partner for hybrid app development
From idea to concept and hybrid app development to app store publishing and ongoing app maintenance, we make your apps happen.
SPRYLAB as a hybrid app agency
Apps are everywhere now – we see them as mobile apps, desktop apps, native apps and hybrid apps. As app developers, we bring extensive expertise to the realisation of your app project.
Customer examples
Selected projects of our hybrid app development
Evonik

Sodexo
We integrated ePay into the multi-vendor shop and took over the complete partner management.
Axel Springer
Honoured as one of the best news apps in the world. We are responsible for the Android and iOS app.

What we do
Our services
Other smartphones and tablets, other operating systems. Alongside iOS, Android is our second main focus. Here, too, we programme smartphone apps either natively (to take advantage of specific Android features) or as part of hybrid app development.
With web app programming, we also make apps available via a browser as a hybrid web app or responsive app on desktops. This is because apps are increasingly going beyond mobile use and are being used via internet browsers such as Edge or Chrome.
Windows app
Hybrid app development doesn’t just have to include Android and iOS. Software solutions/apps for Windows phones can also be realised as part of a hybrid approach
Brief explanation
Hybrid app development
What is hybrid app development?
As elegant as native apps are, many companies want to serve different platforms with their apps in order to maximise their reach. The requirements also include the use of apps via websites. Hybrid app development enables the broad use of an app by utilising web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript and providing the app as a container.
What problems do hybrid apps solve?
This avoids double native development, which means double cost and time. Evernote and G-Mail are prominent examples of hybrid apps. Users can use these services across different media on their mobile devices or PCs.
What are the biggest advantages of hybrid app development?
In addition to their flexible use, hybrid apps are characterised above all by simple management and scaling as well as rapid development – and the associated cost benefits. Plug-ins even allow hardware-specific functions to be used within the application.
How we work
Hybrid app development process:
We work professionally to an established process model for hybrid app development. It covers six phases, from conception and roll-out to operation and further development including agility and quality assurance.
01
Idea & Strategy (Workshop)
Your business idea is the basis of the hybrid app design. In a joint kick-off workshop, we analyse and define a clear and feasible strategy – this determines the next steps. This incorporates our planning and consulting experience.
02
Conception & Design
The next step is to create a concept for your app. The creation of the concept includes the hybrid app design and UI design. In our experience, excellent user interfaces for high usability should be integrated before the prototype is created.
03
Agile development
We use agile approaches and frameworks for hybrid app programming. Our developers and project managers keep you regularly up to date. This allows you to see how your app is continuously growing.
04
Quality assurance
Agile development means quality assurance in all project phases. To ensure that your hybrid app receives good app ratings in the app stores, we rely on manual and automated testing. This creates reliability and enables early and stress-free troubleshooting.
05
Roll-out
We set the go-live date together in our project plan. At this point, we provide your version of the hybrid app and publish it in the app stores on request.
06
Operation & further development
As a hybrid app development agency, we know: Every app needs updates. New versions offer optimisations such as new features, but also technical upgrades, e.g. to increase traffic. Ongoing maintenance of your hybrid app is an important part of your marketing.
Technologies & programming languages
The programming of hybrid apps relies on two basic components: Frameworks/libraries such as Ionic and web technologies such as HTML5, CSS or JavaScript/Typescript for the actual coding.
React Native
Widely used, it relies on JavaScript and is often the best choice when companies want to programme hybrid or cross-platform apps.
Flutter
A common framework – also used by us – that facilitates and accelerates the development of mobile hybrid apps.
Ionic
Another important hybrid app framework that app developers cannot do without. Alternative to Flutter.
Famous
A fairly new framework for JavaScript, with which we can assemble and exchange UI widgets and applications.
Sencha Touch
Another JavaScript framework that was developed for the development of mobile web apps. It offers cool possibilities for the use of native functions.
Other technologies
Other technologies that we use in hybrid app development are NativeScript (also as a framework/library), Fastlane (automation of build processes) and Mobile Angular. From time to time, we also use Onsen UI, Kendo UI and Intel xdk.
Costs and duration
How expensive is the development of a hybrid app?
How much does it cost to develop a hybrid app? How long will it take to complete the app? Share your idea with us – and we will give you a concrete estimate of the project’s duration and price.
We know the factors influencing the costs very well and ensure that we utilise our resources efficiently – which benefits both you and us.
We agree deadlines, targets and services in close dialogue with you.
