Mobile app development services for iOS and Android
We take mobile apps from idea to App Store and Google Play release, then keep them running. You choose native or cross-platform with a clear explanation of the trade-offs, and you get an installable build at the end of every sprint.
Book a discovery callNative or cross-platform?
Native apps (Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android) give you full access to platform features and the smoothest performance, but you maintain two codebases. Cross-platform frameworks like Flutter and React Native share most of the code across both platforms, which usually lowers cost and speeds up releases. We recommend one after discovery, based on your features, users, and budget.
What you get
Scope and product plan
User journeys, a prioritized feature list, and a milestone plan you can share with investors or leadership.
Clickable prototype
A tappable design you can put in front of users before development begins.
Production app builds
iOS and Android apps built natively or from one cross-platform codebase.
Backend and admin panel
APIs, databases, and an admin dashboard so your team can manage content and users.
Store launch
App Store and Google Play listings, screenshots, privacy disclosures, and submission.
Handover package
Source code, documentation, analytics dashboards, and crash reporting set up in your accounts.

How a project runs, start to finish
Each stage has a clear output, so you always know what you’re paying for and what comes next.
Discovery
We map users, goals, risks, and must-have features, then agree on a written scope, milestones, and estimate before design starts.
UX and UI design
Wireframes and a clickable prototype let you test the flow with real users before a line of production code is written.
Build in sprints
Two-week sprints end with a working build you can install on your own phone, plus a short demo and a list of what’s next.
Testing and QA
Automated tests, device testing, accessibility checks, and security review run throughout the build, not just at the end.
Launch
We prepare store listings, handle App Store and Google Play submission, and set up analytics and crash reporting.
Support and growth
After release we monitor stability, ship OS updates, and plan the next features based on real usage data.
Cost and timeline factors
A fixed estimate follows discovery. These are the factors that move it most.
- Number of user types and screens
- Native for both platforms versus one cross-platform codebase
- Offline mode and real-time data sync
- Payment, map, chat, and third-party integrations
- Compliance requirements such as HIPAA or PCI DSS
- Typical timeline: [Add verified typical ranges from your delivery history]
Frequently asked questions
How much does mobile app development cost?
It depends on features, platforms, integrations, and compliance. We share a rough range on the first call and a fixed estimate after discovery.
Can one app run on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Flutter and React Native let one codebase power both apps. For apps that rely heavily on platform-specific features, two native apps can still be the better choice.
Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?
Yes. We prepare listings, privacy details, and builds, and we respond to review feedback until the app is approved.
Can you take over an app another team built?
Yes. We start with a code and architecture audit, then give you a plan to stabilize, fix, or rebuild.
