Mobile app development for iOS and Android

What kind of mobile apps we build

• Customer-facing apps – bookings, orders, loyalty programmes, customer accounts and status notifications.
• Internal apps – for field staff, service, warehouse or sales teams: forms, photos, signatures, offline work.
• New products and startups – a first version (MVP) that lets you test the idea with real users before you invest in the full scope.
• Apps connected to other systems – maps and location, payments, camera, Bluetooth, integrations with the systems you already use.

Native or cross-platform?

There is no single right answer – it depends on what the app has to do, who it is for and what the budget is.

React Native means one codebase for iOS and Android. It usually means a shorter timeline and a lower cost of shipping the app on both platforms, and for most business apps it is more than enough.

Native apps (Swift and SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on Android) are our choice when maximum performance, smooth animations, advanced device features or tight system integration – such as widgets or background work – are key.

We advise during the analysis stage, taking into account the budget, the deadline and how the app should grow over the next year or two.

What the process looks like

1. Conversation and analysis – the app's goal, its users, the scope of the first version and what can be simplified.
2. Design and prototype – wireframes and a clickable prototype you can try on your own phone.
3. Development in short iterations – you get a test version from the first weeks (TestFlight on iOS, internal testing in Google Play), so progress is visible all the time.
4. Testing and release – testing on real devices, store descriptions and screenshots, getting through Apple and Google review.
5. Maintenance and growth – updates for new iOS and Android versions, error monitoring, fixes and new features.

An app often also needs a panel for managing content, users or orders. We build that panel as a web app connected to the mobile app through a shared API.

What the cost of a mobile app depends on

• the number of screens and user roles (e.g. customer, employee, administrator),
• whether the app needs its own backend and admin panel,
• integrations: payments, maps, company systems, external APIs,
• one or two platforms and the chosen approach – native or cross-platform,
• requirements for offline work, security and the number of users.

That's why we start with a conversation. After a few sentences of description we reply with questions, a proposed scope and a price range. We often suggest a smaller first version (MVP) that reaches users sooner and lets you develop the app based on real data rather than assumptions.
