React Native app development in Japan

Detailed specifications, careful testing and reliable schedules, with a team overlapping most of your afternoon.

Clarigo Infotech builds React Native apps that run on iOS and Android from one codebase, saving time and cost without giving up a native feel. We design, build, test and launch on the App Store and Google Play, and the same team keeps improving the app after launch. React Native is a strong fit when you also have a React web app, because code and skills can be shared.

Japanese companies most often hire us for AI automation, enterprise systems and mobile apps.

MVPs for startups

A production-ready first version in 25 to 30 days, built to grow.

AI features in the app

Chat assistants, smart search, recommendations and voice built into the experience.

Native modules

Camera, maps, payments, Bluetooth and push notifications, with native code where needed.

Web and app together

Share logic and design with a React or Next.js website for faster delivery.

Upgrades and rescue

Upgrade old React Native versions, fix performance and stabilise crashing apps.

In depth

How we approach React Native

When React Native is the right choice

React Native suits most business, social, commerce and productivity apps, especially when you have or plan a React web product. For graphics-heavy games or very hardware-specific apps, we may recommend native code instead and will say so.

Performance that feels native

We use the new architecture, optimised lists and images, and native modules for heavy work, then profile on real devices so scrolling and animations stay smooth.

From build to app store

We handle app store accounts, screenshots, review guidelines, privacy labels, crash reporting and over-the-air updates, so launching and updating is predictable.

Proven on real products

Our team designed and built LivSocial's mobile app alongside its website and AI tool, and Vumi, our own AI companion app with voice calls.

Working with us from Japan

Built for Japanese teams

Time-zone overlap

Japan is three and a half hours ahead of India, so our working days overlap for most of your afternoon, with a stand-up and same-day replies.

Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI)

We design to the APPI: clear purpose of use, security controls, rules for third-party and cross-border transfers, and data hosted in Japanese cloud regions when required. We sign NDAs before work starts.

Billing

Invoices in Japanese yen (JPY) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.

Sectors · Japan

Built for Japan's key sectors

Automotive

Carmakers invest in connected-car software and factory automation. Customer and field apps are where we usually start here.

Electronics and robotics

Hardware makers need companion apps and embedded AI. Apps for customers, staff and partners, built on one codebase.

Gaming and anime

Entertainment firms reach global fans through apps and stores. We design and ship iOS and Android apps for teams in this sector.

Process

How it works

Week 1: discovery and design

We agree the use case, success measures and data, and show you a clickable design.

Weeks 2-3: build and integrate

We build, connect it to your systems and data, and demo working software every week.

Week 4: test and launch

We test with real cases, add monitoring and guardrails, then go live.

After launch: improve and scale

The same engineers keep tuning quality, cost and features as usage grows.
