Typical timeline
10 to 16 weeks to store launch
Platforms
iOS and Android, one codebase
Engagement
Fixed scope or dedicated team
Overview

Mobile apps people keep on their home screen.

We build native-quality iOS and Android apps from a shared codebase, so you launch on both stores at once without paying for two separate teams. React Native and Flutter cover most products; when a feature needs Swift or Kotlin, we write that part natively.

A good app is more than screens. We handle the backend it talks to, offline behaviour, push notifications, payments, analytics and the store submission process, including the review guidelines that trip up first-time launches.

After release we watch crash reports and real usage, ship updates over the air where the stores allow it, and keep the app current as iOS and Android change underneath it.

Built for
  • Brands launching their first iOS and Android app
  • Service businesses that need booking, ordering or membership apps
  • SaaS products adding a mobile companion to a web platform
  • Teams with an existing app that is slow, unstable or hard to update
What you get

Everything it takes, in one engagement.

Every part of android/ios app development handled by one senior team, so nothing falls between suppliers and you always know who owns the result.

01

Cross-platform development

One React Native or Flutter codebase for iOS and Android, with platform-specific polish where it matters to users.

02

Native modules

Swift and Kotlin for the parts that need it: camera pipelines, Bluetooth, background tasks and deep OS integrations.

03

App backend and APIs

Authentication, user data, content and business logic served from a secure API we build or connect to your existing one.

04

Notifications and engagement

Push notifications, deep links and in-app messaging set up to bring people back without annoying them.

05

Payments and subscriptions

In-app purchases, subscriptions and card payments implemented within Apple and Google's rules.

06

Store launch and release

App Store and Google Play listings, review submissions, beta testing and automated release pipelines.

Why it matters

What this does for your business.

Both stores, one budget

A shared codebase means one team, one roadmap and features that arrive on iOS and Android together.

Smooth on real devices

We test on a range of actual phones, not just the latest flagship, so the experience holds up for every customer.

Updates without drama

Automated releases and over-the-air updates turn shipping a fix into a routine task, not a project.

How we deliver it

From first call to shipped.

A planned, transparent arc with something you can see every week, so you always know exactly where the work stands.

01

Discovery and flows

Week 1

We map the core journeys, decide what belongs in version one and agree the platform approach.

02

Design and prototype

Weeks 2 to 3

Native-feeling screens and a clickable prototype you can test on your own phone before development starts.

03

Build in sprints

Weeks 3 to 12

Weekly test builds through TestFlight and Google Play internal testing, so you use the app as it grows.

04

Beta and store submission

Weeks 12 to 14

A closed beta with real users, fixes from their feedback, then store submissions handled end to end.

05

Launch and maintain

Ongoing

Crash monitoring, analytics review and regular updates to keep pace with new OS releases.

Engineering
Example engagement

A fitness studio group launches iOS and Android apps for class booking, memberships and reminders, sharing one codebase and one admin panel with its website so the front desk manages everything in one place.

Ask a question

For most products, cross-platform gives you both stores for close to the cost of one with no visible difference to users. We recommend fully native only when the app depends heavily on device hardware or platform-specific features.
