Overview

What We Do & How We Do It

Mobile is not a second screen. For most users, it is the primary screen. A poor mobile experience does not just frustrate — it eliminates. Users who encounter friction uninstall in seconds and rarely return.

We build mobile applications with user retention as a core engineering metric. Every architectural decision is evaluated against its impact on session frequency and long-term retention.

We develop natively for iOS (Swift/SwiftUI) and Android (Kotlin), and cross-platform with React Native where appropriate. We manage the full lifecycle: App Store submission, distribution and update cycles.

Order Management App
Result

Restaurant group's mobile ordering app increased average order frequency by 34% in six months

A 22-location restaurant group needed a branded app to reduce third-party commission costs. We built a React Native app with real-time menu management, loyalty rewards and push campaigns. 28,000 users and order frequency up 34% within six months.

Logistics
Enterprise Field Operations
Result

Logistics operator reduced delivery disputes by 60% after deploying driver and customer apps

A regional logistics operator was losing $180K annually to delivery disputes. We built a native Android app for drivers (offline-first, barcode scanning, photo POD) and a React Native customer app for live tracking. Disputes fell 60% and driver onboarding dropped from 3 days to 4 hours.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about Mobile App Development.

Native or React Native — which is right?
Native (Swift/Kotlin) gives the best performance and device API access. React Native is ideal when you need both iOS and Android simultaneously and your app is data-driven. We recommend the right approach after understanding your requirements.
How long does mobile app development take?
A single-platform MVP: 10–14 weeks. Dual-platform full-featured app: 18–26 weeks. Enterprise apps with complex integrations: 6–12 months.
How do you handle App Store submission?
Submission is included in all packages. We manage the full process. If a submission is rejected, we resolve and resubmit at no additional cost.
Can you maintain the app after launch?
Yes. Post-launch maintenance retainers cover OS updates, bug fixes, performance monitoring and feature additions, starting from $800/month.
Do you build apps that work offline?
Yes. Offline-first architecture is a speciality. We design data sync strategies allowing your app to function without connectivity and sync when connection is restored.
