Minimum Viable Product
The more logical way is to first get a minimum viable product developed. So for the beginning, it is
better to add main features only into the first app version, to reduce it's cost. Additional features can
be added later when the app and website will start gaining popularity.

Platform
There is no substantial difference between an app development for iOS or Android. But for the
minimum viable product, it is better to choose only one OS to start.

blink of an eye.
