The client: Paddy Power

- Mobile app development
- App support
The work
In recent years, the betting industry has revolutionised the way it does business by developing a powerful digital presence that's attracted a new generation of customers. However, the industry's retail sector remains a valuable source of revenue and constitutes a significant portion of its customer base.
At Paddy Power, a significant proportion of its customers still place bets in brick-and-mortar shops. Paddy Power needed a complimentary digital experience to enhance the relationship with these retail customers.
Because Paddy Power needed to move quickly, the MVP took the form of a mobile website with UI and UX that felt like a mobile app rather than building native mobile apps from the start. This saved months of execution and proved the value proposition just the same.
Once the value proposition was proven with positive user feedback, the system developed into native mobile apps and new features were rolled out to enhance the customer experience and deliver greater ROI for Paddy Power.
"The team at Steer 73 are extremely well versed in their fields and regularly provide informative updates on Technology and external industry trends, which we can translate to benefit our customers and anticipate challenges.
The attention to detail, clarity, quality and pace which Steer73 deliver customer features is outstanding which creates a working relationship more akin to a joint venture than a supplier / customer standard.”

The perfect team
Mobile app development requires a ‘full stack’ product team. From product directors to specialist developers, to UX designers, to QA testers, our London agency has a comprehensive team that are experts in their field and cover every expertise you need to bring your vision to life.
Steer73’s mobile app development methodology
There are four phases we use to define and deliver your mobile app solution. We start with a scoping project where we fully define all the requirements of a project. This phase also involves early-stage investigation and design prototyping to mitigate risks. We then work through defining a solution, building that solution, and testing what has been built. These steps are crucial in making sure your project is well-defined, low-risk, and executed with precision.
Frequently Asked Question
How do you ensure the confidentiality?
Mobile app development requires a ‘full stack’ product team. From product directors to specialist developers, to UX designers, to QA testers, our London agency has a comprehensive team that are experts in their field and cover every expertise you need to bring your vision to life.
How long does it take to build an app?
The timeline for building a mobile or web app depends on the scope and complexity of your project. If you're looking for a Minimum Viable Product with core features to get to market quickly, our team can potentially deliver in just a couple of months for simpler apps. But if you need a more robust, feature-packed app, you're probably looking at several months of development time.
How much does it cost to build an app?
The cost of building a mobile app depends entirely on its proposed features and development requirements. An accurate estimate requires a thorough consultation with app development experts like us to understand your goals, after which a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work and associated costs will be provided.
Do you offer flexible payment models?
Sure, we do. We breakdown payments into key milestones to breakdown the cost of your app development and constrain risk. For more information send us an email at [hello@steer73.com](mailto:hello@steer73.com).
Do you offer post-launch support services?
Absolutely. As your app development agency, our commitment to your project extends beyond its launch date. Aside from partnering with you on new feature rollouts and updates, we also provide app monitoring and maintenance services to ensure your mobile app outperforms your competitors.
What does the app development process look like?
The App development process typically starts with a consultation to discuss your goals for the mobile app. Once this has been finalised, a design and prototype will be created showing the structure of your mobile application. Finally, our app developers will code your app and the result is a native or hybrid app that works perfectly on all platforms.
How do you ensure data privacy and security compliance?
We conduct thorough data protection impact assessments during planning to identify risks and implement robust data encryption protocols. We also ensure secure data transfer, maintain detailed processing records for transparency and ensure comprehensive team training on data handling best practices.
What sets you apart from other app development agencies?
We’re a London-based app development agency with a track record of successful projects. With 10 years of experience building and maintaining apps for SMEs and large enterprises, we can channel our expertise to projects of any size, ensuring we deliver maximum value for your money. Feel free to look at our previous projects [here](https://steer73.com/case-studies/).
How often do I need to update my mobile app?
The frequency of mobile app updates depends on factors like your product roadmap, user feedback, industry trends, and platform requirements. We recommend releasing new updates periodically to address bugs, introduce new features, enhance security, and improve overall app performance. This will keep your mobile app competitive and relevant to your users.
What is the difference between native and hybrid app development?
Native apps are built specifically for either Android or IOS using their respective programming languages. This makes them fast, secure, and able to leverage all the device's capabilities, however, separate codebases are needed for each platform, increasing cost. Hybrid apps, on the other hand, are built using cross-platform technologies like React Native, .NET MAUI or Flutter, and a single codebase is used for multiple operating systems. While they may not be as fast as native apps, hybrid apps are more cost-effective for targeting multiple platforms simultaneously. We wrote an article on this [here](https://steer73.com/insights/cross-platform-mobile-apps/)
