Mobile application development
We build mobile apps with React Native and Expo, giving you one codebase for iOS and Android without compromising on feel. We design for patchy connections and mid-range devices, because that is how many of your users will open the app.
The problem we solve
A mobile app is a significant investment, and many fail because they are slow, drain data, or launch with features nobody needed. Building two separate native apps also doubles the cost of every change.
We help you decide whether an app is the right move, define a focused first release, and build it on a shared codebase. Where it matters, we design offline-first so the app stays useful without a signal.
Who it suits
- Businesses whose customers need a tool they will open repeatedly
- Education, fintech and service products where offline access matters
- Founders validating a product with a first release
- Teams with an existing web product that need a companion app
What the work covers
- Product scoping
- Core user journeys, platform requirements and a first-release feature list.
- Interface design
- Mobile-first designs that follow iOS and Android conventions where users expect them.
- App development
- React Native and Expo with TypeScript, plus the backend and APIs the app needs.
- Testing
- Testing on physical devices, including lower-end Android phones.
- Store release
- App Store and Google Play submission, and over-the-air update set-up.
What you receive
- Product scope and user journeys
- Mobile interface designs
- iOS and Android app from a single codebase
- Backend or API integration
- Store listings and release support
Not included
Stated up front so there are no surprises in the proposal.
- Apple and Google developer account fees, which are paid directly by you
How we work
A simple process, start to finish
Four clear steps, with a written proposal before any work begins and a preview you can follow throughout.
Discover
We learn about your business, your customers and what the project needs to achieve.
Plan
We agree the pages, features, timeline and price in a written proposal before any work starts.
Design and build
We design and build in stages and share a preview link, so you can give feedback as it takes shape.
Launch and support
We launch, show your team how everything works, and stay on hand to fix issues and keep improving.

Common questions
Do I need a mobile app or would a website do?
If customers use your service occasionally, a fast mobile website is usually enough and costs less. An app makes sense when people return often, need offline access, or rely on device features such as notifications or the camera. We will tell you honestly which fits.
Why React Native instead of fully native apps?
One codebase serves both platforms, so features ship together and maintenance costs less. For most business apps the experience is indistinguishable from native. If your app has unusual hardware or graphics needs, we will discuss whether native modules are required.
