In depth

How we approach Mobile app development

One codebase or native?

Most apps work best with React Native or Flutter: faster to build, cheaper to maintain and the same on both platforms. We recommend native Swift or Kotlin only when your app truly needs it, and explain why.

Designed before it is built

You test a clickable prototype first, so changes happen when they are cheap and the app you launch is the one users want.

Store-ready from the start

We follow App Store and Google Play guidelines throughout, prepare listings and handle review, so launch day is not a surprise.

After launch

We monitor crashes and usage, keep the app current with new OS versions and keep shipping improvements.
