Platform recommendation, honestly
Native, hybrid or PWA, argued from your feature list and your budget rather than from what we prefer to write.
Service 03 — Mobile applications
Handcrafted
mobile apps.
On spec, on time.
iOS, Android and hybrid. We build mobile apps on spec, on time and within budget — including the back-end services, the store submissions and the release process nobody warns you about.
What is included
- Platform recommendation, honestly
- Interface per platform
- Back-end services
- Store submission
- Release engineering
- Analytics that answer questions
The app is the easy part
Building a mobile app is a solved problem. Keeping one alive is not. Two operating systems deprecate things every year, two review processes can reject you for reasons nobody predicted, and every release is permanent in a way a website never is — you cannot hotfix an app somebody has not updated.
So we plan for the second year at the start: remote configuration so behaviour can change without a release, forced-update handling for the day you need it, and a back end that can serve three app versions at once because your users will be running three app versions at once.
Native, hybrid, or a very good web app
Native gives you the best performance and full device access. Hybrid gives you one codebase and faster iteration. A progressive web app skips the stores entirely. We pick by what your app has to do — camera, background location and offline sync push toward native; a content or transactional app rarely needs it.
Deliverables
What you
actually get.
Interface per platform
iOS and Android have different conventions. An app that ignores them feels wrong even when users cannot say why.
Back-end services
Auth, sync, push, storage and the API versioning that lets old app builds keep working.
Store submission
Listings, screenshots, privacy declarations, review responses. We have been through the rejections.
Release engineering
Staged rollout, crash reporting, remote config and a forced-update path for the day you need one.
Analytics that answer questions
Events designed with you, so retention and funnel numbers mean something specific.
Shapes of the work
Where this
usually lands.
| Approach | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Native iOS + Android | Performance, device access, long-lived products | Two codebases to maintain |
| React Native / Flutter | Shared logic, fast iteration, smaller budgets | Occasional native bridge work |
| Progressive web app | Simple tools, no store friction, instant updates | Limited device access, no store presence |
| Hybrid shell | Existing web app that needs a store listing | Feels like a website unless carefully done |

Questions
Before you
commit.
How long does an app take?
A focused first version is usually eight to fourteen weeks including back end and store submission. Anything promising four weeks is quoting the interface and hoping you do not notice the rest.
Do you handle the App Store and Play Store accounts?
We set them up in your name and walk the submission through. The accounts stay yours — you should never be locked out of your own listing.
What about updates after launch?
Care plans cover OS updates, dependency maintenance, crash triage and a pool of enhancement hours. Mobile is the one platform where skipping maintenance eventually breaks the app outright.
Can you take over an existing app?
Yes, after a short paid audit. We look at build reproducibility first — if we cannot build it from a clean checkout, that is problem number one.
