Android and iOS app development
Mobile apps for Android and iOS, built natively or from one shared codebase depending on what the app needs to do. We also build the system behind the app and handle release on Google Play and the App Store.
- Good for
- Businesses launching an app or replacing an old one
- You receive
- Published apps, source code and store accounts in your name
- After launch
- OS updates, fixes and new features
What we build
From the first screen to the app stores.
iOS apps
Apps for iPhone and iPad that follow Apple's design conventions and pass App Store review.
Android apps
Apps for Android phones and tablets, tested across the screen sizes your customers use.
Cross-platform apps
One codebase for both platforms with React Native or Flutter, when the app does not need platform-specific features.
Backend and APIs
Accounts, data, payments and notifications, built as a secure system the app talks to.
App store release
Store listings, screenshots, privacy details and the review process on Google Play and the App Store.
Updates and maintenance
Updates for each new version of iOS and Android, plus fixes and new features as you grow.
Is an app right for you?
When an app is the right choice.
Sometimes a fast website does the job better. We will tell you which.
- Customers use your service often, not once.
- You need phone features such as the camera, location or notifications.
- Staff work away from a desk and need to record or look up information.
- Your website works, but repeat customers want something quicker.
- People need access when they have no signal.
How it works
From first call to launch.
A typical project. The length of each stage depends on the size of the work, and you see progress at every stage.
Discovery
Who will use the app, what they need to do in it, and what it must connect to.
Scope and platform choice
Native or cross-platform, with the reasons, the screens and the price in writing.
Design and prototype
You tap through a clickable prototype on your own phone before we build.
Build and test
We build in stages and test on real Android and iOS devices, not only simulators.
Release and support
We publish to the stores under your accounts and keep the app working with each OS update.
Questions
Android and iOS apps questions
Native or cross-platform?
Cross-platform suits most business apps and costs less to maintain. Native is better for heavy graphics, complex device features or the best possible performance. We recommend one for your app in writing.
Do we need a website as well as an app?
Usually, yes. People find you through search and only install an app once they know you. Many clients start with a strong website and add an app later.
How long does app store approval take?
Usually a few days. We prepare the listing, answer questions from Apple or Google and handle any changes they ask for.
Who owns the app?
You do. The apps are published under your developer accounts and you receive the source code.
