Mobile app development

We build iOS and Android applications for consumer audiences and for workforces, from first concept through to the version running on thousands of phones two years later.

Before any of that, we will tell you honestly whether a mobile app is the right answer. A good portion of the people who come to us asking for an app need a web application instead. Working that out in the first conversation takes an hour. Discovering it after launch means starting again on the other side.

When a mobile app is the right choice

A mobile app earns its place when the device itself matters. Camera, GPS, offline use, push notifications, biometrics, or anything that needs to work with no signal. It also earns it when you are building for consumers who expect to find you in an app store, and when the experience needs to feel native rather than merely acceptable.

When something else fits better

If your users are staff, if they work at desks, if the value is in dashboards and reporting, or if you need to change the product weekly, a web application will serve them better, and we build those too.

We build mobile cross-platform, one codebase reaching both iOS and Android, so the question is never about build effort. It is about distribution. Someone has to install a mobile app and keep it updated, and every change waits on app store review before a single user sees it. That is a real constraint on how fast a product can improve, and it is only worth accepting when the phone itself is giving you something back.

We wrote a whole page on that difference, because it is the single most common thing we help people work out. Read about web app development.

What we build

Cross-platform builds, typically in React Native, so one codebase ships to both iOS and Android. Native where a project genuinely needs it. Consumer products, workforce and field applications, fintech and payments, health and wellness, marketplaces. Full delivery including design, backend, integrations, app store submission and post-launch support.
