Apps people keep on the home screen.
Native iOS, Android and cross-platform apps — offline-first, instrumented, and polished to the standard that keeps people coming back after week one.
Week one downloads are easy. Week fifty-two retention is engineering.
Most apps are abandoned within days — not because the idea was wrong, but because the app was slow on a three-year-old Android, lost data in a dead zone, or nagged with notifications nobody wanted. Retention is not a marketing problem; it is an engineering standard.
Our apps run businesses: fridges unlocked by scan at 3 a.m., shifts clocked by NFC across dozens of sites, meals paid for in two taps. Offline-first sync, native payments and analytics are foundations in every build — because that is what surviving on a home screen takes.
Shipped to both stores.
Whatever the platform strategy, the standard is identical: fast, offline-capable, instrumented.
Native iOS
Swift apps that feel inevitable on the platform — widgets, App Clips and the polish Apple users notice.
Native Android
Kotlin apps tuned for the real device spectrum — including the mid-range hardware most of the world carries.
Cross-platform
Flutter and React Native when one codebase serves the business better — chosen on engineering merit, not fashion.
Offline-first sync
Local-first data with conflict-free sync, so the app works in basements, planes and dead zones.
Payments, NFC & push
In-app purchases, wallets, tap-to-act NFC and notification strategy that respects the user enough to be kept on.
Store launch & beyond
Review-proof submissions, staged rollouts, crash monitoring and OS-version compatibility for life.
Polish is a process, not a final sprint.
Quality that survives the store review and the three-star rage review alike.
01Prototype on-device
Clickable flows on real hardware in week two — because an app is judged in the hand, not in Figma.
02Build offline-first
Sync, caching and failure states engineered from the start. Connectivity is treated as a bonus, not an assumption.
03Test on real devices
A device wall of cheap Androids and old iPhones — your users’ phones, not your founder’s.
04Launch & iterate
Staged rollouts, crash-free-rate gates and analytics-driven iteration. The app improves every release.
We have shipped this before.
The mobile app at the heart of a $10M+ connected-retail business — browse, scan, unlock, pay.
FeelEat — Happy Fridge
Browse daily menus, scan to unlock a smart fridge, pay in-app and see exactly what is in every dish — nutrition, allergens and origins included.
Chosen for the problem, not the résumé.
Native where it matters, shared where it pays — every choice argued on engineering merit.
One team. Zero hand-offs.
Disciplines most often combined with mobile apps — same architecture, same engineers, no integration tax.
Questions, answered.
The things buyers of mobile apps ask us most. Anything else — put it in a brief, a senior engineer replies within a business day.
Put it in a brief. A senior engineer — not a sales rep — replies within one business day.
Q.01Native or cross-platform — which should we pick?
It depends on what the app does, and we will argue it with evidence. Heavy platform integration, camera or background work favours native; content-and-commerce apps usually ship faster and cheaper on Flutter or React Native with no user-visible compromise.
Q.02How long until we are in the App Store?
A focused v1 typically takes 10–16 weeks including store review. We submit early with a staged rollout, so launch day is a press of a button — not a prayer to the review queue.
Q.03Do you handle App Store and Play Store approval?
End to end — listings, privacy declarations, review notes and the inevitable resubmission dance. We have shipped enough apps to know what reviewers flag before they flag it.
Q.04What happens after launch?
Lifetime support: OS-version compatibility, security patches and crash monitoring from the team that built it. Apps rot without maintenance — ours are still earning five-star ratings years in.
Q.05Can you take over a mobile app another agency built?
Frequently. We start with a one-week code audit producing a remediation roadmap, then take over the codebase in phases. Common reasons clients switch: unstable architecture, hidden offshore staffing, or feature velocity stalling out.
Q.06React Native or Flutter, if we go cross-platform?
React Native if your team already knows React/TypeScript and you want to share logic with a web app — the ecosystem and hiring pool are larger. Flutter if you want pixel-identical UI across platforms and don't mind Dart. Both are production-ready; we let your existing skills and any web-code-sharing opportunity decide, not hype.
Q.07How do you handle in-app purchases and subscriptions?
We use RevenueCat over StoreKit and Google Play Billing so receipt validation, entitlements, and cross-platform subscription state are handled in one place instead of two fragile native integrations. It also gives you the subscription analytics Apple and Google don't, and makes restoring purchases — a common rejection reason — reliable.
Q.08How do you push updates without forcing users through the app store every time?
JavaScript-layer fixes in React Native can ship via CodePush/EAS Update over-the-air within Apple and Google's policy limits — no review cycle for eligible changes. Native code changes still need a store release. We also build a remote feature-flag and forced-update mechanism so we can dark-launch features and require an upgrade when a breaking API change demands it.
