App Development
A mobile app for iOS and Android built on React Native, so you get one codebase instead of paying for two separate native builds, without sacrificing the performance or feel of a native app. Where an AI feature genuinely helps (an in-app assistant, natural-language search, automatic summarising) we build it against a real model API rather than shipping a demo that impresses nobody twice.

Who it's for
- Businesses extending a web product to mobile
- Founders launching a mobile-first product or service
- Companies that need booking, ordering, or account features in-app
What's included
- Product scoping and technical architecture
- UI/UX design for iOS and Android conventions
- React Native development, one codebase for both platforms
- API and backend integration
- AI feature integration where it fits: in-app assistants, natural-language search, summarising
- App Store and Google Play submission support
- Post-launch monitoring and crash reporting setup
Our approach
- 01
Discover
Define the core user flows worth building first, instead of a feature dump.
- 02
Design
Platform-appropriate UI, prototyped and tested before development starts.
- 03
Build
React Native development with regular builds you can test on your own device.
- 04
Launch
Store submission, review handling, and a stable v1 release.
What to expect
A single codebase that ships to both app stores
Native-feeling performance without a native-sized team
AI features that do a real job in the product, not a chatbot bolted to the corner
A v1 scoped tight enough to actually ship
App Development questions we get asked
Do I need an app, or would a mobile website do the job?
A mobile website, for most businesses, and we'd rather say that than build something nobody installs. Getting someone to install an app is a genuinely high bar, and it's only worth clearing when you need something the web can't do well: reliable push notifications, offline use, deep device integration, or a product people open several times a week. If the goal is to be found and to convert a first-time visitor, a fast mobile site does it better and costs a fraction as much.
Is React Native as good as a fully native app?
For the overwhelming majority of business apps, yes, and it ships from one codebase instead of two. The interface is genuinely native, so it looks and feels right on each platform, and a change gets made once rather than twice by two teams. The honest exception is anything leaning hard on heavy graphics, intensive real-time processing, or the newest platform-specific hardware feature on launch day. If your product is in that category we'll tell you before you commit.
How long does app store approval take?
Apple's review is typically 24 to 48 hours now, and Google Play is usually similar, though a first submission from a new developer account can take longer on both. The timeline risk isn't the review itself, it's the account setup, which needs enrolment, tax and banking details, and a privacy policy in place. We start that early because it's the step that stalls launches while everyone waits on paperwork.
What happens if Apple rejects the app?
It gets fixed and resubmitted, and that's included rather than billed as extra. First-submission rejections are common and usually procedural: a missing privacy disclosure, an account deletion path, incomplete review notes, or a demo login that didn't work. We build against the guidelines rather than discovering them at submission, but the rules do shift, so the process assumes at least one round rather than treating it as a failure.
Do you maintain the app after launch?
Yes, and mobile needs it more than a website does. Apple and Google each ship a major OS release every year, and both periodically raise the minimum SDK version required to keep shipping updates, which means an app left alone eventually stops being updatable and then stops working. Ongoing maintenance covers OS compatibility, dependency updates, crash monitoring, and store requirement changes.
