MenuWhat are the bug tracking tools helping to take screenshots of bugs occurred?
I heard that there are some, preferably free and open source
Answers
My response is heavily biased towards web applications, and in-browser bug reporting, though some tools may allow native iOS and Android implementations, as well.
The answer depends on on the type of audience that needs to report bugs: private and targeted (developers, employees, etc.) or public and open (all website visitors).
Private group typically have some level of vested interest in reporting bugs, and may have higher tolerance for user experience (UX) issues associated with the bug capturing process; public groups, however, need much more streamlined tools and less hurdles in order to encourage bug reporting.
FOR PRIVATE GROUPS, the top two tools that we have used, may be a bit too complex for public groups, though they can integrate with more user-friendly tools. Both of them also allow annotations on the screenshots that they take.

MARKER starting at about $25 per month is the cheaper of the two. It integrates with some tools such as Trello, Jira, GitHub and Slack, and they have plans for integration with HipChat, which may make it more user-friendly for the public group.

USERSNAP starting at about $80 per month is more expensive, but has more features and certainly more integrations out of the box.
FOR USE WITH PUBLIC GROUPS, I recommend using a chat service, with built-in screenshot capturing, since those generally seem more user-friendly, and have less complexity in the capturing phase, and have an established use pattern. Of course, some of these make great tools even for more private audience groups, as they can be limited to such groups easily using some basic server-side coding.

DOORBELL.IO that has a free plan, supports screenshots. and is one that we have not used, but seems simple, very promising, quite open. It is also highly malleable due to having an API for integrating it into your own widgets, and supporting "web hooks" which may be used to post content from it to any web address.
https://www.olark.com/pricing
OLARK that also has a free plan, is one that we have used extensively, since it has a co-browsing feature. Once initiated by the chat operator and accepted by the visitor, it provides a live feed into the visitor's browser.
NOTE: We have been an Olark partner for a while now, though I am writing without bias, and have NOT included our referral link in this response.

What is the best mobile app install tracking solution? By this I mean a solution that truly (or nearly) tracks click to install of app on iOS.
Sure, it's correlative for technical reasons, iTunes / AppStore does not provide (yet, might change) a mechanism for that, so 3rd parties have to build their own. I recently discussed with people from Adjust and I was really impressed. HasOffers / MobileAppTracking seems to be a good choice as well.AJ

How much should it cost to develop this IOS app?
As the host of 'The App Guy Podcast', I can introduce you to a few good developers ranging from inexpensive locations to $100 per hour top rates. As a quick guess, this type of app will start from $900 using a cross platform solution (Like Titanium Studio) to $5000 for Objective-C apps written on xCode Let me know if you want an introduction by contacting me through my website or podcast Paul Kemp - The App Guy Podcast http://TheAppGuy.co/PK

What are some great strategies to launch a successful mobile dev shop?
So here are two strategies: Follow the money You need to go where the money is spent on developing/design. I would approach startups at WeWork and also get in contact with the MBA programs of the universities in NY. Instead of giving a better price (finders fee) to actual projects build the relationships with those that will start startups. If you build their first project successfully then you would have started a long term relationship with someone that will have many years in front of them needing development work. I will also approach Angels/VC and let them know you will give a good price to portfolio companies that get referral by them Follow the volume Accelerators/Incubators: Go to where the volume is: remember that the conversion rate on leads is small. Focus in the places where many projects will be built and where you can find those guys that don't have the technical skills. PS: This are not strategies I did but I would if I was in your situation. :)JC
