Mobile app development for iOS and Android
We start by checking whether you need a native app at all. If a web application would serve your users just as well, we'll say so, because it's usually faster and cheaper to build and maintain.
Who it's for
- Businesses whose customers expect an app they can keep on their phone.
- Field and operations teams who work on site, sometimes without a connection.
- Communities and memberships that need private messaging, events, or check-ins.
- Companies with a web platform that needs a mobile companion.
Typical projects
Customer apps
Accounts, ordering or booking, notifications, and payments, published to the App Store and Google Play.
Field service apps
Job lists, checklists, photos, and signatures that sync when a connection returns.
Private community apps
Invite-only onboarding, member directories, events, and announcements.
Companion apps
Mobile access to an existing web platform, sharing the same accounts and data.
How a project runs
- 1Discover. We learn how the work happens today and what a good result looks like.
- 2Plan. We scope the first phase, agree on priorities, and put it in writing.
- 3Design and build. You see working software early and often, so changes are cheap.
- 4Launch and support. We deploy carefully, train your team, and stay on to improve it.
What affects cost and timeline
- One platform or both, and whether one shared codebase is suitable.
- Offline use and syncing.
- Device features such as camera, location, or notifications.
- Backend and admin tools the app depends on.
- App store review requirements and release process.
We give you a written scope and estimate before any work starts, and we break larger projects into phases so you can see results before committing to the next one.
Common questions
Do you build for both iOS and Android?
Yes. Most projects use one shared codebase for both platforms, which keeps cost and maintenance down. We recommend fully native builds only when the app needs it.
Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?
Yes. We prepare the listings, handle review requirements, and publish under your developer accounts so you keep ownership.
Can the app work offline?
It can. Offline use adds work for storing and syncing data, so we plan for it early if your users need it.
Should we start with a web app instead?
Often that's the smarter first step. If your users mostly need to sign in, view, and submit, a web app reaches them sooner. Read our web application development page for more.
