Mobile Apps
One Codebase. Two Platforms. Real Performance.
What We Do
Building two separate apps for iOS and Android doubles your development cost and creates two codebases to maintain. There is a better way. Cross-platform mobile development with React Native or Flutter gives you a single codebase that runs natively on both platforms. Not a web app wrapped in a shell. Actual native performance, native device APIs, and native user experience patterns.
We build mobile apps from concept to launch: product scoping, UX design, development, backend integration, and App Store submission. Whether you are validating an MVP or rebuilding a mature product, we bring the same discipline. Every feature is built for real users on real devices, tested across screen sizes and OS versions, and optimized for battery, memory, and network conditions. Your app should feel like it belongs on the device. We make sure it does.
How We Work
We start with product definition. What problem does the app solve? Who is using it, and in what context? These answers shape every design and architecture decision. Next comes UX design in Figma: user flows, screen designs, and interactive prototypes. You test the design before we write a line of code. Development follows an iterative sprint process.
Core features ship first, edge cases come later. We build a shared backend API that serves both mobile platforms and, if needed, a web dashboard. Testing happens continuously, not at the end. Device testing covers iOS and Android across multiple form factors. Beta distribution through TestFlight and Google Play Internal Testing lets real users give feedback before launch. We manage full App Store and Google Play submission, including compliance reviews, screenshots, and metadata optimization. After launch, we offer maintenance plans for updates, OS compatibility patches, and feature additions.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on your project. React Native works well for teams already using JavaScript. Flutter excels at custom UI and performance-critical apps. We help you choose.
Simple apps start around $25,000. Complex apps with backends, real-time features, and integrations range from $50,000 to $150,000. We scope before we quote.
Yes. We manage the full submission process for both Apple App Store and Google Play, including compliance, screenshots, and metadata.
Absolutely. We implement local data caching, background sync, and conflict resolution so your app works without connectivity.
Simple apps with a handful of screens take 10 to 14 weeks. Feature-rich apps with custom backends, real-time data, and complex UI take 4 to 6 months. We define scope in detail before committing to a timeline.
Yes. Most mobile apps need a backend for authentication, data storage, and business logic. We build the API alongside the app so both are designed to work together from the start.
Sometimes. We audit the existing codebase for architecture quality, test coverage, and maintainability. If it is salvageable, we extend it. If rebuilding is faster and cheaper in the long run, we will tell you that honestly.
