Building and launching mobile apps

A mobile app is a significant investment, so it pays to understand the options before committing. This section explains the difference between native iOS and Android development and cross-platform frameworks such as React Native and Flutter, and when a progressive web app might be enough instead.

Further articles walk through scoping an MVP, designing for small screens, push notifications, offline mode, in-app payments and connecting the app to your existing backend. We also explain App Store and Google Play review guidelines, release planning and what ongoing maintenance looks like after launch. The guides are written for founders, product managers and business owners weighing up a first app or a rebuild. Each one links to our mobile app development service for a closer look at how we work.
