Launch and support
App Store and Google Play submission, analytics, crash monitoring and regular updates.
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.
Built for Kenyan teams
Time-zone overlap
Kenya is two and a half hours behind India, so our working days overlap for most of the day.

We design to Kenya's Data Protection Act: lawful processing, consent, security controls and data-subject rights, and we sign NDAs before work starts.
