Mobile App Development
A mobile app earns its place when people need your product away from a desk, or when it needs the phone itself — camera, location, offline storage, notifications. If it is a website in a wrapper, it will be reviewed like one.
How we approach it
Decide cross-platform or native honestly
Flutter covers most business apps well from one codebase. Heavy device integration or demanding graphics still favour native. The decision is made on your requirements, not our preference.
Design for the worst connection
Apps are used on trains and in basements. Offline behaviour and sync are designed in, not retrofitted.
Get into the stores early
Store accounts, signing and review are where first releases slip. We start that in week one, not the week you planned to launch.
Instrument before launching
Crash reporting and analytics from the first build, so the first bad review is not how you learn about a bug.
Common questions
Should we build with Flutter or native?
Flutter suits most business applications — one codebase for both platforms, near-native performance, faster to build and cheaper to maintain. Native is worth it for heavy camera, AR, or platform-specific integrations, and where you need day-one support for new OS features.
How long does it take to get an app into the stores?
Building is usually the predictable part. Apple review typically takes one to three days once your account and signing are in order, but setting those up for the first time can take longer than the review — which is why we start it at the beginning of a project.
Do we need separate apps for iOS and Android?
Not with a cross-platform framework. One Flutter codebase produces both, sharing logic and interface while respecting each platform where it matters. Two separate native codebases means roughly twice the build and twice the maintenance.
