Mobile app development
A studio service
iOS and Android. Designed for touch.
Native and cross-platform mobile apps designed for the screen people carry — not ported from web. App Store and Google Play submission included. We recommend the right approach for your brief.
N° 01Native vs cross-platform
The honest recommendation
We build both native (Swift/SwiftUI for iOS, Kotlin/Jetpack for Android) and cross-platform (React Native) mobile apps. We recommend based on your brief — not on which earns us more revenue.
Choose native when: you need deep platform API access (HealthKit, ARKit, advanced camera, sensors), your design system is explicitly platform-specific, or your users' quality bar is set by Apple's or Google's own apps. Choose React Native when: your product logic is platform-agnostic, your timeline requires one codebase, or you already have React engineers who will maintain it.
N° 02Mobile-first design
Designed for the screen people carry
Mobile apps are not web apps with smaller screens. Touch targets, gesture navigation, one-handed reach zones, notification design, offline behaviour, and app size are all different constraints that require a different design discipline.
We design mobile-first from the first wireframe. No desktop-first designs ported down to mobile. No web patterns pasted into a native shell. The UX is designed for the device the user will actually hold.
N° 03What we build
Mobile product categories
01
Consumer Apps
Marketplace, lifestyle, social, and productivity apps. Designed for discoverability, fast onboarding, and the engagement loops that survive the first week after install.
02
B2B & Enterprise
Field service apps, sales tools, and internal ops apps that work offline, sync reliably, and don't require a support call to learn.
03
Health & Fitness
Workout tracking, nutrition logging, patient-facing health apps, and wearable integrations across HealthKit, Google Fit, and Health Connect.
04
Fintech
Mobile payment apps, digital wallets, investment interfaces, and the onboarding flows that make KYC feel less like a compliance exercise.
N° 04App store submission
App Store and Play. First submission
App Store and Google Play submission is included in every mobile project. We handle metadata, screenshots, privacy manifests, data safety forms, and review response.
App Store Optimisation (ASO) is included: keyword-researched titles, subtitles, and descriptions; screenshot sets designed to convert browses to downloads; and feature graphics for Play Store listings.
We have submitted dozens of apps and know the common rejection reasons. We check against current guidelines before every submission — not after.

Questions
The answers we give most often.
- Should I build native or cross-platform?
- It depends on the brief. We assess in discovery and give you a documented recommendation with trade-offs. We don't have a commercial reason to prefer either.
- What cross-platform framework do you use?
- React Native for most cross-platform projects. Flutter for projects where the client has an existing Flutter codebase or a specific requirement. We don't use Xamarin or Ionic.
- How long does a mobile app take?
- Native iOS or Android: ten to fourteen weeks. Cross-platform React Native for both platforms: twelve to sixteen weeks. Apps with complex integrations add two to four weeks.
- What does it cost?
- Native iOS or Android starts at $26,000. React Native (both platforms) starts at $34,000. Apps with significant backend or complex integration start higher. Fixed-scope after discovery.
- Do you build the backend as well?
- Yes — full-stack delivery is our default. We don't deliver a mobile app that assumes you have an API. The backend is scoped and priced alongside the app.
- Do you support push notifications?
- Yes — Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) are standard inclusions. Rich notifications, notification categories, and background delivery are available.
- Can you add a mobile app to an existing web product?
- Yes — we scope the mobile app against your existing API. If the API needs to evolve for mobile use cases, we scope that in discovery.
- How do we start?
- Use the contact form with a brief description of the app, your target platforms, and your timeline. We'll respond within two business days.
