Mobile App Development

Fast, secure and user-focused mobile apps for iOS and Android.

In brief
  • The choice between native and cross-platform is justified by budget and needs.
  • An end-to-end process from idea to store release and subsequent versions.
  • Secure backend, admin panel, notification and payment integrations are included.

A mobile app is a powerful channel that puts the customer experience, field operations and internal processes in your pocket. We manage the whole process from the idea stage to store release and subsequent versions.

We compare native and cross-platform development options against your goals and recommend the best fit in terms of budget, performance and maintenance cost.

In detail

Mobile App Development: how do we do it?

Native or cross-platform?

Native development (Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android) provides full access to hardware features and the highest performance, but requires two separate codebases. Cross-platform solutions make it possible to reach both stores with a single codebase, reducing development time and maintenance cost.

Unless there is game-like heavy graphics or special hardware requirements, a cross-platform approach is efficient for most business apps. We make the decision together based on performance, budget and maintenance plan.

User experience and interface design

A good mobile app gets users to their goal with the fewest taps. We design user flows (first launch, sign-up, main task) on paper, test them with a clickable prototype and then move to development.

Details such as accessibility, dark mode, offline behavior and resilience on slow connections determine the quality of the experience; we add them to the requirements list from the start.

Backend, security and release process

A mobile app usually works together with an API and an admin panel. Authentication, authorization, data encryption and secure API design are core parts of the project.

We support you through the app store processes (accounts, privacy declarations, review requirements) during release. After launch, a maintenance plan covers monitoring, crash reports and updates.

Problem → solution

Which problems do we solve?

Problem

We want to stay in constant contact with our customers.

Our solution

We build apps that keep customers in your channel with notifications, loyalty and ordering flows.

Problem

The field team works with paper and phone.

Our solution

With a field app that works offline, we transfer data to headquarters instantly.

Problem

Two separate teams for two platforms exceed our budget.

Our solution

With cross-platform development we deliver iOS and Android versions from a single codebase.

    Development

    The app and API are developed in two-week cycles.

    Deliverable: Test builds
  4. 04

    Testing and launch

    Device testing, store preparation and release.

    Deliverable: App live in the stores
  5. 05

    Maintenance and growth

    Crash monitoring, updates and new features.

    Deliverable: Maintenance report

Use cases

How is it used in real life?

Scenario 1

Ordering and loyalty app

Customers place orders, collect points and are notified about campaigns.

Scenario 2

Field team app

Task, form and photo data are collected offline and synced when online.

Scenario 3

Appointments and booking

Calendar, reminders and payment flow in one app.

Things to watch out for

Common mistakes and the right way

Common mistake

Putting every feature into the first release

The right way

The right way: start with a focused MVP and grow based on user data.

Common mistake

Focusing only on design and neglecting the backend

The right way

The right way: plan security and scalability from the start.

Common mistake

Not budgeting for post-launch maintenance

The right way

The right way: have a maintenance plan for operating system updates.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose native or cross-platform?

If there's no heavy need for hardware features, cross-platform is fast and economical. We present both options with their rationale based on your needs.

Do you upload the app to the stores?

Yes. We support store account and release processes.

Are there updates and support after release?

Yes. We provide maintenance support for bug fixes, updates and new features.

Mobile app or responsive website?

If device features such as notifications, offline use, camera and location are needed, an app; if it's only content and forms, a responsive website (including a PWA) may be enough. We give you an honest recommendation based on your needs.

How long does the app development process take?

A focused first release is usually ready within a few months; the larger the scope, the longer it takes. With phased delivery you can put an early version into use.

Who handles store commissions and account procedures?

The store account is opened in your name; we provide technical support during the release process.

What determines the cost of mobile app development?

Cost is determined by the number of screens, platform choice (iOS, Android or both), backend needs, integrations such as payments and notifications, and design detail. A first release (MVP) starting with core features is the most effective way to keep the budget under control.

Will my app be rejected by the store?

We develop in line with store guidelines and check the privacy policy, permission descriptions and content requirements before release. Still, the stores have the final say; in case of rejection, we quickly make the necessary corrections and resubmit.

Can notifications, payments and location be added to the app?

Yes. We can add features such as push notifications, in-app payments, location, camera, barcode scanning and biometric login. Each feature is evaluated separately in terms of user permission, security and store rules.

Can my app work offline?

Yes. It can be designed so data is stored on the device and synced when a connection is available. This approach is especially useful for field teams and environments with weak connectivity.

Will it integrate with my existing web system?

Yes. The mobile app is developed to communicate with your existing ERP, CRM or website via API. If the existing system has no API, we can also build the necessary interface layer.

How is app security ensured?

Data is transmitted over encrypted channels, authentication and authorization are checked on the server side, and sensitive data is stored securely on the device. Security tests are carried out before release, and libraries are kept up to date against known vulnerabilities.

Will the app slow down as the number of users grows?

The backend is designed with a scalable architecture and load testing. We share infrastructure recommendations to handle growth in users at the start of the project, and monitor and improve as you grow.
