What we build in mobile development.
iOS applications
Native Swift apps for products where platform performance, offline behaviour or device features genuinely matter.
Android applications
Native Kotlin apps built for the wide range of devices your customers and field staff actually carry.
Cross-platform applications
One React Native or Flutter codebase across iOS and Android, which usually means faster releases and a lower long-term maintenance bill.
Customer-facing apps
Booking, ordering, loyalty, account management and support — the everyday jobs customers would rather do from their phone.
Field & operations apps
Tools for people away from a desk: stock counts, deliveries, inspections, visits and approvals, with offline-first sync for weak signal.
SaaS mobile companions
A focused mobile surface for an existing web product, doing the few things users need on the move properly rather than everything badly.
Backend & API integration
Secure authentication, sync, push notifications and the API layer that connects the app to your ERP, CRM or in-house systems.
App maintenance & modernisation
Rescuing apps that have drifted out of store compliance, fallen behind on SDK versions, or been abandoned by a previous developer.
What you should expect from this work.
Users who come back
We instrument activation and retention from the first release, so decisions about what to build next are based on behaviour rather than opinion.
One source of truth
The app reads and writes the same data as the rest of your business. No separate spreadsheet, no reconciliation at month end.
Releases that do not get rejected
We handle store submission, privacy declarations and review requirements, and keep the app current as Apple and Google change their rules.

Mobile Development questions.
Should we build native or cross-platform?
It depends on what the app does. Cross-platform covers most business and customer apps well and costs less to maintain because there is one codebase. We recommend native when the app leans heavily on device hardware, needs sustained high-performance graphics, or has to match platform conventions exactly. We will tell you which applies to your case before you commit.
Do you handle App Store and Play Store submission?
Yes — developer account setup, store listings, screenshots, privacy declarations, review responses and the release process itself. We also set up the pipeline so your future updates go out without drama.
Can the app work without a connection?
Yes, and for field teams it usually should. We design an offline-first data layer that queues work locally and syncs when the device reconnects, with clear conflict rules so two people editing the same record does not corrupt your data.
Work that usually goes with this.
