Many app agencies task the developers, designers, or project managers to perform QA.
The quality suffers. Trust me.
If you build an app, hire an app development team with a designated QA engineer.

If you're from the US, the cost to build an app is $300,000-400,000.
Meanwhile, here in Malaysia, we can develop the exact same software for you at only ~$120,000.
It makes sense to hire offshore developers.
Just be sure to hire the RIGHT one.

🚨 App Development Pitfalls 101 🚨
I’ve seen too many apps fail before they even launch.
If you’re building an app, watch out for these traps:

Trying to launch with every feature = blown budget & endless delays. Start lean.
⚠️ The “Cheap Developer” Trap

⚡ Digitalize manual operations into scalable systems
Both turn existing processes into revenue machines.

When you hire an app development team, ask if they have a designated QA engineer.
A developer does just basic testing.
A QA engineer tests on a deeper level and explores different scenarios.

Most apps fail before they even get a real shot. Not because the idea was bad. Because they were built the wrong way.
Here’s what most founders miss: users don’t just want a functional app. They want an experience that feels smooth, intuitive, and—most importantly—lovable.
