Mobile Apps Development

We design, build and launch iOS and Android apps that feel native, load fast and hold up as your user base grows. One accountable team, from the first sketch to the App Store and Google Play, and after.

Choose your approach

The right foundation for your app.

There is no single best way to build a mobile app. We recommend the approach that fits your product, budget and timeline, and we tell you the trade-offs plainly.

Native iOSSwift and SwiftUI

The best fit when you need the deepest access to Apple hardware, the smoothest animation, or day-one support for new iOS features such as widgets, Live Activities and HealthKit.

Native AndroidKotlin and Jetpack Compose

Built with Google’s current toolkit for Android phones, tablets and foldables, with attention to the wide range of screen sizes and device performance your users actually carry.

Cross-platformReact Native and Flutter

One team and one codebase for both stores, with native modules where the platform demands it. Usually the fastest route to market and the most economical to maintain over time.

BackendThe part users never see

APIs, authentication, push notifications, file storage and analytics, designed alongside the app so that sync, offline use and security are planned from the start.

Decision guide

Native or cross-platform? Here’s how we decide.

We make this call with you in the first week, based on what your app has to do rather than on what we prefer to build.

If your app…

Needs to launch on both stores quickly

We usually recommendReact Native or Flutter
Because

One shared codebase means features reach iOS and Android together, with a single team to coordinate.

If your app…

Relies on camera, AR, Bluetooth or sensors

We usually recommendNative, or native modules
Because

Direct access to platform APIs gives better performance and fewer surprises across device models.

If your app…

Is content, commerce or booking led

We usually recommendReact Native
Because

Standard screens and flows are well served by shared components, and it pairs naturally with a Next.js web product.

If your app…

Depends on rich custom animation

We usually recommendFlutter or native
Because

Both give fine control over rendering for brand-led, motion-heavy interfaces.

If your app…

Serves one platform first

We usually recommendNative on that platform
Because

You invest once in the audience you have and expand when the data supports it.

What we build

The features users expect from a great app.

Each one is built, tested on real devices and documented, so launch day is not spent on plumbing.

Onboarding and sign-in

Email, Apple, Google and biometric sign-in, with sessions stored securely on the device and a first-run flow that gets people to value quickly.

Payments and subscriptions

In-app purchases through StoreKit and Play Billing, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Stripe, with receipt validation handled on the server.

Push notifications

Targeted, permission-aware messages through APNs and Firebase Cloud Messaging, with deep links that open the right screen.

Offline-first sync

Local storage and background sync so the app stays useful on a train, in a basement or on a weak connection, and catches up cleanly afterwards.

Maps, location and media

Live location, geofencing, camera, photo and video capture, and uploads that resume if the network drops.

Real-time and chat

Messaging, presence and live updates over WebSockets, for marketplaces, logistics, healthcare and community products.

Ways to work together

Start from an idea, or from an app you already have.

New app build

From idea to a live app. We define the first release, design every screen, build in weekly increments and take it through store review.

  • Startup MVPs and consumer apps
  • Booking, delivery and marketplace apps
  • Companion apps for existing products

Rebuild and modernize

Give an aging app a stable, faster foundation without losing the users and reviews you have already earned.

  • Objective-C and Java to Swift and Kotlin
  • Two native apps to one cross-platform codebase
  • Crash, speed and OS-update remediation

Dedicated mobile team

Senior mobile engineers and a designer who join your roadmap, work in your repositories and follow your process.

  • Monthly retainer for ongoing releases
  • App audits and performance reviews
  • Store updates, compliance and support
Engineering standards

Quality you can feel in the first tap.

Every app we ship passes the same checks, whatever its size.

Tested on real devices

Automated tests on every commit, plus manual testing on physical iPhones and a spread of Android models and OS versions.

Performance budgets

We set targets for launch time, frame rate, memory and battery use, and measure against them before each release.

Security by default

Encrypted storage for sensitive data, certificate pinning where it matters, secure token handling and a review against the OWASP Mobile Top 10.

Accessibility

VoiceOver and TalkBack support, dynamic text sizes, sufficient contrast and touch targets sized for real thumbs.

Privacy and compliance

Clear permission prompts, accurate App Store privacy labels and Play data-safety forms, and consent flows that follow GDPR and CCPA.

Crash-free monitoring

Crash reporting and analytics from the first beta, so regressions are found by us and not by your reviewers.

How a build runs

A working build on your phone, every sprint.

01

Discover

We align on users, goals, platforms and the smallest release worth shipping, then agree the scope in writing.

02

Design

Flows and interactive prototypes you can hold in your hand, tested with real users before engineering starts.

03

Build

Two-week sprints end with a build delivered through TestFlight and Play internal testing for you to try.

04

Launch and grow

Store submission, staged rollout, monitoring and a handover. We stay on for updates and new OS releases if you want us to.
