The short answer
MetaGate designs three main types of smart apps: service and booking apps, online store apps and marketplace apps. Each app moves from discussing the idea and software plan, through UI/UX design, programming and testing, to launch on Google Play, the App Store and AppGallery.
Smart application design is a major part of modern technology, covering many specialized services for programming and developing this type of application in all its forms. It also calls for an innovative use of modern technology, combined with creative thinking, with the aim of improving the user experience.
In this guide, we look at what MetaGate offers in smart application programming and design, the types of apps it builds, and the stages an app goes through from first idea to launch on the app stores.

What types of smart applications does MetaGate provide?
The smart applications the company designs fall into three main types:
Service and booking apps
This type of app helps customers book the services they need from the companies they prefer, at times that suit them, such as:
- Flight tickets and hotel bookings, including a variety of tours and trips.
- Car and motorcycle rentals, which some people use for long-distance travel or for leisure trips.
- Food and beverage services, which vary from one restaurant to another, such as online food ordering apps and delivery services.
- Personal body and skin care services, such as booking beauty salons, massages, and physiotherapy.
- Doctors and healthcare services, such as booking appointments at clinics, medical centers, and private hospitals.
- Entertainment services and activities, such as booking movie, theater, and concert tickets.
Service and booking apps let you take care of all these services and more in just a few moments, thanks to their many advantages: ease of use through a simple interface designed for customers, accurate and reliable details for each service, time and effort saved, and money saved through the discounts that appear directly in the app from time to time.
Online store apps
MetaGate’s online store apps include many key elements and features, such as:
- Clear presentation of products and services: These apps let users browse and buy the various products and services offered by retail and service businesses, including clothing, food, drinks, and digital services.
- Easy ordering and delivery: Users can order their favorite products and services through online store apps, and these apps can also deliver purchases to homes and offices.
- Online payment: These apps make purchasing and paying online safe and simple, allowing users to get products and services quickly and efficiently.
- Reviews and ratings: These stores let users share their experiences with the services available in the app with full transparency and credibility, which helps new customers see the strengths and weaknesses of the service they want to buy.
- Offers and discounts: Once users download the app or online store, they can receive rewards such as discounts and gifts from the company, a feature that helps the business attract more customers from everywhere.
- Customer service: This service plays an important role in online store apps, responding to customer inquiries and requests from anywhere and working to resolve the problems customers face.
Marketplace (business brokerage) apps
These are among the most effective tools in e-commerce development, as they rely on every method that makes it easier for merchants and consumers to reach an agreement, acting as the intermediary between the service provider and the target customer. They usually consist of 4 applications:
| Application | What it does |
|---|---|
| Customer app | Used to book the services the customer needs. |
| Merchant app | Used to list available services. |
| Delivery app | Used to deliver products to the customer at the location they specify. |
| Admin dashboard app | Used by the operating company to manage the other three applications. |
What are the stages of building smart applications?
MetaGate’s smart application service goes through the following development stages:
- We listen to the client’s idea for the app they want to build.
- The company’s specialized team discusses the idea with the client, suggesting changes and additions that strengthen it.
- Once the idea is agreed, the company takes its first steps in drawing up the app’s software plan, which includes studying the project, organizing the app’s main features, and designing the extras the app needs.
- The software plan is presented to the client, who reviews it carefully, requests any changes, and then gives final approval.
- The company starts designing custom UI/UX interfaces for the app.
- The user experience is designed and presented to the client for changes and approval.
- The company programs the interfaces with the app’s own code, then builds and tests them to make sure they are ready for use.
- The app is sent to the client for their final changes.
- Once the app is finalized, the company connects it to the online payment gateway and shipping companies.
- The app is launched on three stores: Google Play, the Apple App Store, and Huawei AppGallery.
These stages usually take between one and four months, depending on the size of the app and its features.
