MenuI'm trying to work videoconferencing into a mobile application that I'm building that works for users regardless of OS, any suggestions?
Or does anyone know of any mobile applications that have done it well? Thanks!
Answers
One of my startups leveraged mobile videoconferencing to provide real time coaching lessons. We implemented https://tokbox.com. It is platform independent, relatively easy to implement, and highly scalable.
They have plenty of customer success stories to back it up as well. https://tokbox.com/customer-stories
If you have additional questions around implementation, I am here to chat.
Best of luck!
I assume you mean a mobile web application (in-browser based), as opposed to a native apps? If that is the case you have to go no further then searching for deeply functional mobile and responsive sites like mobile.twitter.com .
As far as OS-agnostic mobile web applications for video conferencing—no better place to start then Skype.
Video conferencing software has exploded in popularity over the last year. With people working from home and remote work becoming the new normal, businesses rely on video conferencing services to communicate. But not all video conferencing software is the same. The tools you use to video chat with your friends and family across the across are not necessarily the best business communication options. If you are running a small business or just need to occasionally meet with a small team, you probably will not run into problems with restrictions. There’s nothing worse than being on a video conference with a poor stream. It can really distract from the purpose of the conference. Each participant’s individual Internet connection will obviously impact the quality as well. However, some software is better than others in this category. The best way to determine the video quality of the software is by experimenting with free trials and reading reviews from current customers. If you are using video conferencing software for work, it is useful to have an all-in-one collaboration solution. Now everyone can collaborate from a single platform, instead of bouncing back and forth between different software while on a video conference call. Cloud software or browser-based video conferencing software is extremely flexible. For example, let’s say you have a sales team that uses video conferencing to communicate with prospects. Desktop apps are commonly used for in-house video conferencing. The best video conferencing software will support all major operating systems. Mobile video conferencing is crucial for people who need to join calls on the go. However, the experience is enhanced by downloading the mobile application from your video conferencing provider. Nearly all the best video conferencing software on the market today will have some mobile conferencing features. Some businesses require a complete meeting room system for video conferences. If you are having a video conference call in an executive board room with a dozen people present, a laptop at the end of the table is not going to cut it. Blue Jeans has a wide range of video conferencing options for businesses of all sizes. Depending on your needs, there are four different Blue Jeans video conferencing products for you to choose from.

Any opinions on raising money on Indiegogo for an app?
Apps are difficult to fund on IndieGoGo as few are successful, and we rarely take them on as clients. Websites like http://appsfunder.com/ are made for that very reason, but again, difficult to build enough of a following willing to pay top dollar for an app that could very well be free, already existing in the marketplace. A site that is gaining more traction you may want to look into would be http://appsplit.com/. Again, Appsplit Is Crowdfunding For Apps specifically.RM

How can a small offshore development company find companies/software sales people to sell their service in the US/UK?
My company does a lot of consulting with offshore firms who are looking for a way to generate new business, so I hear this question a lot. My first reaction is that you need to totally reverse your mindset when you talk about your own company. You mentioned that you have: a great software developers team, proven track record, passion, real value But, everyone says that. There a 10,000 companies that have those things, so a customer isn't going to notice it. You need to figure out what your company is best at (doesn't have to be technical) and present it as a solution to a specific problem that clients have. Maybe a speciality, or really good project management, really good communications, a special expertise or experience, a personality, experience with a certain type of client.. really anything.. But, there must be some thing that makes your company 'special' otherwise you will be lost in the mix. Don't worry about things like rates, or the fact that you have 'great' developers. Those are generic. Think about why a client would really choose you, and try to build on that! After you understand your company identity, it gets much easier to identify and engage marketing channels because you understand your target.DH

If I am planning to launch a mobile app, do I need to register as a company before the launch?
I developed and published mobile apps as an individual for several years, and only formed a corporation later as things grew and it made sense. As far as Apple's App Store and Google Play are concerned, you can register as an individual developer without having a corporation. I'd be happy to help further over a call if you have any additional questions. Best of luck with your mobile app!AM

What is the best technology for developing a new mobile app from scratch?
There are two sides to that question. One is the mobile app itself and the other is the backend. If I misunderstood in any way and you didn't mean "native" app I apologize in advance. On the backend, there is no clear cut answer to which is the "best". It depends solely on the developers you are able to get. We for example use Node.js , mongoDB, redis, elasticsearch and a couple of proprietary tools in the backend. But you have your pick of the litter now both on the backend api and the datastore with the myriad of options available and touted as the "best" currently on the market. Now on the app side again it solely depends on what you need your mobile app to do. Experiencing first-hand "develop once, run anywhere" I can say it's more like "develop once, debug everywhere" to quote a Java saying. We have tried Phonegap and Titanium Appcelerator and we have switched to native (ObjC and Java) after a couple of months of trying to go the hybrid route. The reasons behind the choice are as follows: - anything that breaks the pattern of how those frameworks NEED to operate is just a huge technical debt that keeps accruing a huge interest. - anything that uses css3 accelerated animations on Android is buggy at best and slow as hell at worst on any lower (< 4.1 I think) versions of Android I hope this gives you some insight. If you need/want to ask me anything feel free to contact me. MihaiMP

What is the generally agreed upon "good" DAU/MAU for mobile apps?
You are right that the range is wide. You need to figure what are good values to have for your category. Also, you can focus on the trend (is your DAU/MAU increasing vs decreasing after you make changes) even if benchmarking is tough. Unless your app is adding a huge number of users every day (which can skew DAU/MAU), you can trust the ratio as a good indication of how engaged your users are. For games, DAU/MAU of ~20-30% is considered to be pretty good. For social apps, like a messenger app, a successful one would have a DAU/MAU closer to 50%. In general most apps struggle to get to DAU/MAU of 20% or more. Make sure you have the right definition of who is an active user for your app, and get a good sense of what % of users are actually using your app every day. Happy to discuss what is a good benchmark for your specific app depending on what it does.SG
