App Development

Real mobile apps,
on both stores, in 8 weeks.

A mobile app MVP carries problems a web app never does: app store review, push notifications, offline behaviour, and two platforms at once. We build native-feeling iOS and Android from a single codebase, with all of that handled. Production-grade, fixed price.

What a mobile MVP needs

The mobile-specific
parts done properly.

One codebase, both platforms

Built in React Native and Expo, so iOS and Android come from a single codebase. For an MVP this is faster and far cheaper than two native builds, and the experience is native-feeling, not a wrapped website.

App store submission, handled

Apple and Google review is its own discipline, with guidelines, rejections, and timelines that catch first-timers out. We handle submission and the review cycle so launch does not stall on a process you have never been through.

Push notifications

The mechanism that brings users back, which web cannot match. Built in from the start, because re-engagement is often the difference between a mobile product that retains and one that is installed once and forgotten.

Offline and unreliable networks

Phones lose signal. A mobile MVP has to behave when the network does not, caching and syncing sensibly rather than freezing. This is a core mobile concern that simply does not exist on the web.

Owned, production code

A real React Native codebase you own outright, deployed properly, ready to scale past the MVP. No no-code app builder you rent forever and cannot extend. Yours, with no lock-in.

Apps we build

Mobile products
that suit an MVP.

Consumer apps

Native-feeling experiences where the phone is the product: daily-use tools, social, lifestyle, and content apps.

On-the-go tools

Apps used away from a desk, where mobile is not optional: field, logistics, booking, and location-based products.

Apps needing push and offline

Products that live or die on re-engagement and reliability, where notifications and offline support are core, not extras.

Companion apps

A mobile layer for an existing web product or service, extending it to where users actually are.

Marketplace and service apps

Two-sided or transactional products where most usage happens on a phone, with payments built in.

Investment

Fixed price,
both platforms included.

MVP App Build

From 16,000 GBP

One core mobile app, iOS and Android from a single codebase, with app store submission, push, and the core flow. 8-week delivery, code fully yours.

Extensive App Build

From 30,000 GBP

A larger mobile product with multiple user types, a backend admin panel, integrations, and a companion web presence. 8 to 10 weeks.

Common questions

Before you get in touch.

Do you build native or cross-platform apps?

Cross-platform, with React Native and Expo, so one codebase serves both iOS and Android. For an MVP this is faster, cheaper, and native-feeling. Truly separate native builds are rarely justified until a product is well past validation.

Do you handle app store submission?

Yes. Apple and Google review has its own guidelines, rejection reasons, and timelines that catch first-timers out. We handle submission and the review cycle so your launch does not stall on a process you have not navigated before.

Will the app work offline?

Where it needs to, yes. Phones lose signal, so a mobile MVP is built to cache and sync sensibly rather than freeze when the network drops. This is a core mobile concern with no equivalent on the web.

How much does a mobile app MVP cost?

From 16,000 GBP for one core app across both platforms, with submission, push, and the core flow. Larger products with admin, integrations, and multiple user types sit at 30,000 GBP. Both fixed price, both fully owned by you.

How is this different from a web app?

A mobile app installs on the phone, can use push and offline, and goes through app store review. A web app runs in the browser with none of that. Which you need depends on how and where users will actually use the product.

Do I own the app code?

Completely. A real React Native codebase, handed over in full on delivery, no licensing and no lock-in. Not a no-code app builder you rent forever and cannot extend. Take it to any team you like.
