App Development
App development. Native experiences users actually love
Not a web app in a wrapper. We build true native experiences for iOS and Android: fluid animations, offline-first architecture, and the kind of polish users feel the moment they open your app.
Native means native
Cross-platform shortcuts create cross-platform compromises. We build native experiences that feel right on each platform, respecting iOS and Android design conventions, using device capabilities to the fullest, and delivering the 60fps performance your users expect. The result is apps that feel like they belong on the device, not apps that feel like they're fighting it.
From concept to App Store
We handle the full lifecycle: UX research, interface design, development, testing, App Store submission, and post-launch iteration. You don't need to coordinate between a design agency, a development shop, and a QA team. One partnership, from first sketch to first download.
Offline-first architecture
Your users aren't always online, and your app shouldn't punish them for it. We build with offline-first architecture: local data persistence, optimistic updates, and intelligent sync that handles conflicts gracefully. The app works in a tunnel, on a plane, or in a basement car park.
London & Singapore
With studios in both cities, we deliver work that resonates locally and scales globally. Whether you're a London startup expanding into Asia or a Singapore business building a global brand, we understand both markets and bridge the gap between them.
What's included
Everything you need, nothing you don't
iOS Development
Native Swift development for iPhone and iPad, using the full power of Apple's ecosystem, from widgets to WatchOS.
Android Development
Native Kotlin development for the full range of Android devices. Material Design, adaptive layouts, and robust performance.
React Native
When shared code makes strategic sense, we build with React Native. Native feel with efficient cross-platform development.
UX & Interface Design
App interfaces designed for touch: thumb-friendly targets, gesture navigation, and interactions that feel fluid and intuitive.
Backend & APIs
The server-side infrastructure your app needs: authentication, real-time data, push notifications, and scalable API design.
App Store Optimisation
Metadata, screenshots, descriptions, and keyword strategy to maximise visibility and downloads on the App Store and Google Play.
Our process
How we work
Product strategy
We define the MVP scope, user personas, and success metrics before designing anything.
Design & prototype
High-fidelity designs and interactive prototypes you can test on real devices before committing to development.
Development sprints
Iterative builds with TestFlight and internal APK distribution. You test on your phone as we build.
QA & optimisation
Device testing across a range of hardware, performance profiling, and edge-case handling before submission.
Launch & iterate
App Store submission, monitoring, crash reporting setup, and a post-launch roadmap for continuous improvement.
Frequently asked
Questions we get asked
Should I build a native app or a web app?
If you need push notifications, offline access, camera/GPS integration, or App Store presence, native is the right call. For content-heavy applications, a progressive web app might be more cost-effective.
How much does an app cost to build?
A focused MVP typically starts from £25,000. Complex applications with backend systems and multiple platforms range from £50,000–£100,000+.
Do you build for both iOS and Android?
Yes. We build for both platforms, either natively (Swift + Kotlin) or with React Native depending on your requirements and budget.
How long does it take to build an app?
A focused MVP takes 10–16 weeks. More complex applications take 4–6 months. We ship incrementally so you see progress every sprint.
Do you handle App Store submission?
Yes, end-to-end. We prepare all metadata, screenshots, descriptions, and handle the submission and review process.
