Mobile Applications services

Apps people keep on the first screen.

A phone is the most unforgiving place to ship software: a slow start, a lost session or a crash on a mid-range handset and the app is deleted rather than complained about. We build for both stores and keep the apps running long after launch.

Doffo: more than 20,000 downloads across both stores, still on a maintenance retainer.

Overview

Mobile Applications, the way we do it

Most app projects fail after the launch, not during it. The build finishes, the agency moves on, and then iOS ships an update that breaks a screen, a certificate expires, an SDK is deprecated and nobody owns any of it. Six months later the app is a liability the business is embarrassed by.

We build native for both platforms, publish under your name, and stay on the app afterwards. Doffo has more than 20,000 downloads across the App Store and Google Play, and its crash reports come to us rather than to the client.

How we work

Five steps, no surprises

  1. 01

    We talk

    A call or a WhatsApp thread. You tell us what is not working; we tell you honestly whether we are the right people.

  2. 02

    We scope it

    A written plan with what you get, what it costs and how long it takes. Fixed, so there are no surprises later.

  3. 03

    We build it

    You see it as it goes, not at the end. Changes are cheap while it is still being built.

  4. 04

    We put it live

    On infrastructure we set up and secure, tested before the launch date.

  5. 05

    We keep it running

    Updates, monitoring and someone who answers. Most clients stay on a monthly agreement.

Questions

About mobile applications

Native or cross-platform?

Native when the app is the product and performance matters; Flutter when one team has to cover both platforms and the interface is mostly standard. We will tell you which your project is rather than defaulting to whichever we prefer.

Do you handle the store submissions?

Yes, including the review process, privacy declarations and store listings. Both apps are published under your developer account, so you own them.

What happens when iOS or Android updates?

On a retainer, we test against the new version and fix what breaks before your users find it. Without one, an annual OS update is the most common way a working app stops working.
