Too often, we at BestFit Mobile are presented with developed mobile applications, many from popular brands and enterprise organizations, that have so much potential for success yet fail to meet both company and user expectations.

So you found a low cost development team.  Maybe they’re offshore, or it’s a couple of guys working from their house in Des Moines. They gave you a killer estimate on creating your app and they sound like really sharp techies that know their stuff.
