Application Development for Web, iOS and Android

Cost is driven by the platforms, the backend and the integrations far more than by the number of screens. A discovery sprint from £2,000 produces a prototype, a platform recommendation and a fixed-price quote for the first release. Ongoing development can then run with dedicated developers from £2,900 a month.

For most product apps — accounts, content, payments, messaging — React Native or Flutter give one codebase for iOS and Android with a native feel, at lower cost. Native Swift and Kotlin make sense when the app depends heavily on device hardware, background work or demanding graphics. We make the call with you in discovery and write down why.

If people use the product occasionally, find you through search or work at a desk, a web app is often the better first step: no store review, instant updates, one codebase. An app earns its place with frequent use, push notifications, offline use or device features such as the camera, location or Bluetooth.

We work in two-week sprints, with installable test builds from early on. A focused first release is typically planned over weeks, not months — an MVP is often in the region of 6–10 weeks — with time for app store review built into the plan. You get a dated plan after discovery.

Yes, but the method depends on what you sell. Physical goods and real-world services can usually be paid for with Stripe, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Digital content and subscriptions used inside the app generally have to go through Apple’s and Google’s in-app purchase systems. Store rules change, so we check them against your model before designing the checkout.

Yes. We prepare the listings, screenshots, privacy details and review notes, and submit under your own developer accounts so the apps belong to your business from the start. If a reviewer raises questions, we handle the response and the resubmission.

Yes, when it is designed for it from the start. We store data on the device, queue changes made without signal and sync them when the connection returns, with clear rules for when two people edit the same record. Adding offline support later is much harder, which is why we ask about it in discovery.

We collect only what the app needs, encrypt data in transit and at rest, keep secrets out of the app bundle, and build consent, data export and account deletion into the product. We can supply technical detail for your privacy notice and DPIA; sign-off stays with you.

You do. Source code, designs, store listings, developer accounts and cloud accounts are all set up under your organisation from the start. There is no ongoing licence fee to keep using what we built.

Apple and Google ship major OS releases every year, and store policies change more often than that. Support covers OS updates, crash fixes and dependency upgrades, plus a feature roadmap based on real usage — or a documented handover to your own developers.
