# Mobile apps for startups

> Mobile apps for startups whose product lives on the phone. We build for iOS and Android from one cross-platform codebase, release the first version, then keep improving it as users arrive.

Many startups meet their users on the phone first. Building separate apps for iOS and Android doubles the work at the moment you can least afford it, and store review, push notifications and offline use hold traps a first-time team rarely sees coming. We build one cross-platform app for both stores, with native parts only where the platform demands them. We take it through store review to a first release, then stay on to add features, fix what users report and keep the app quick as the audience grows.

## What you get

- **One app on both stores**: A single cross-platform codebase released on the App Store and Google Play, so each feature is built once.
- **A first release in users’ hands**: The core flow working on real phones and through store review, not a demo that only runs on a simulator.
- **The mobile basics in place**: Sign-in, push notifications, offline behaviour and crash reporting set up from the first release.
- **Store accounts in your name**: App signing and store accounts held by your company, so the app is yours from the start.
- **Updates after launch**: Regular releases shaped by what people do in the app and what they report.

## How it works

1. **Map the core flow**: We agree the few screens a user needs to get value, and cut everything else from the first release.
2. **Design for the phone**: We design the screens for real phone sizes and test the flow in a clickable prototype.
3. **Build and test on devices**: We build the app for both platforms and test it on real iOS and Android devices as we go.
4. **Release to the stores**: We prepare the listings, take the app through review and publish it.
5. **Grow with your users**: After launch we add features, fix issues and watch how people use the app.
