How do I evaluate a freelancer's past work?
Ask to see their portfolio or apps they've already made. Check if the apps work well, look good, and have good ratings. Read reviews from other clients or users to see if they were happy with the work.
What should I include in my project brief?
Describe what the app should do and the problem it will solve. Specify the main features you want, like login screens or notifications. Include any design ideas you have, so the developer knows what you like.
How do I set clear deliverables?
Break the project into smaller tasks, like first making the main screen, then adding other features. Discuss and agree on what each part should look like and do. Set a timeline for each task, so the developer knows when things are due.
What are important questions to ask regarding Android app testing?
Ensure the developer tests the app on different Android devices. Ask if they check for bugs and crashes before delivery. Check if they have a method for fixing issues quickly after the app is tested.
How do I communicate my timeline needs?
Tell the developer when you need the project to be finished. Discuss any important deadlines, like app launches or meetings. Make sure there's a plan for regular updates, so you know how things are going.
What should I know about managing remote freelancers?
Set up regular check-in meetings to discuss progress. Use clear communication tools to avoid misunderstandings. Share all necessary project materials in an organized way to help them do their work smoothly.
What tools can help with project management?
Consider using tools like Trello or Asana for task tracking and updates. Use Google Drive or Dropbox for easy file sharing. Slack or email can help with quick messages and questions.
How do I handle changes in the project scope?
Discuss any new ideas or changes with the freelancer first. Agree on how it might affect the timeline or other tasks. Make sure to document all changes so everyone knows what’s happening next.
How can I ensure the app meets user needs?
Have a clear audience in mind and share this with the developer. Consider using surveys or feedback from potential users before finalizing features. Make sure there’s a plan for user testing to catch any issues early.
What skills should I look for in an Android developer?
Make sure they know Java or Kotlin since these are the main languages for Android apps. Good knowledge of Android Studio, which is the tool for making Android apps, is essential. Also, check if they understand the basics of UI/UX design to make apps easy to use and look nice.
