Mobile Application Development
iOS and Android applications people keep, from first prototype through store release and iteration.
Most apps are deleted within a week. The ones that survive earn their place on the home screen by doing one thing noticeably better than the mobile website could.
We build iOS and Android applications from first prototype through store release and the iteration afterwards — including the unglamorous parts: offline behaviour, background sync, push, and the release process itself.
How we approach it
We prototype and test with real users before committing to a full build, and we are candid about whether you need an app at all. Sometimes a progressive web app is the better commercial answer.
Why this matters
-
Built for mobile use
Designed for one hand, poor signal and interruption, not a shrunken desktop UI.
-
Store release handled
Submission, review responses and phased rollout managed for both stores.
-
Crash-free in the field
Crash reporting and performance monitoring from the first release.
-
Kept current
OS releases and store policy changes handled before they break your app.
What is included
-
Prototype and validation
A testable prototype in front of users before the full build is committed.
-
Offline and sync
Local persistence with conflict-aware synchronisation when connectivity returns.
-
Push and deep linking
Notifications and links that open the right screen with the right context.
-
Release automation
Automated builds, signing, beta distribution and staged rollout.
How we deliver it
-
01
Discover
Workshops with the people who will use it, a map of the systems the app has to fit alongside, and written agreement on what success looks like.
-
02
Design
Architecture, data model and interface prototypes, reviewed with your team before any production code is written.
-
03
Build
Two-week increments with a demo environment you can use throughout, so the roadmap stays open to change.
-
04
Harden
Load testing, security review, accessibility audit and the operational tooling needed to go live safely.
-
05
Operate
Support, iteration and a documented handover whenever you decide to run it in-house.
What you receive
- Validated prototype and user testing findings
- Production iOS and Android applications
- Store listings, assets and submission
- Crash and performance monitoring
- Release pipeline and maintenance plan
