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.
Plan your first releaseWhat 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
- 01
Map the core flow
We agree the few screens a user needs to get value, and cut everything else from the first release.
- 02
Design for the phone
We design the screens for real phone sizes and test the flow in a clickable prototype.
- 03
Build and test on devices
We build the app for both platforms and test it on real iOS and Android devices as we go.
- 04
Release to the stores
We prepare the listings, take the app through review and publish it.
- 05
Grow with your users
After launch we add features, fix issues and watch how people use the app.

Have questions?
Answers to what we are asked most before a project starts.
What is custom software development?
It is building software around one business and its customers, rather than bending an off-the-shelf product to fit. The work runs from deciding what to build, through design, engineering and testing, to release and the upkeep after it. The result does what your business needs, in the way it works.
What are the common ways to hire developers?
There are three main ones. An in-house team gives the most control, but it takes months to hire and costs the most to keep. Freelancers start quickly, but someone has to lead them and join up their work. A studio brings a complete team of analysts, designers and engineers who already work together, and it grows or shrinks with the project.
How can I start a digital business?
Start with the problem, not the software. Talk to the people you want to serve and check that they would pay for a solution. Test the idea as cheaply as you can: sometimes a landing page with a waiting list is enough. Then build the smallest product that proves the idea, release it, and let what real users do decide what comes next.
What is digital transformation for enterprises?
It is changing how a company works so that software carries more of the load: connected systems in place of manual steps and scattered spreadsheets, old software moved to a modern platform, and decisions made from data. It works best in steps, starting where the gain is largest, with each step released and measured before the next.
