Mobile Apps

What’s included in Mobile Apps

A mobile app is a commitment to two platforms that change every year. We build apps worth that commitment, where being on a phone is the whole point.
  • One codebase for both platforms, so a fix ships to everyone at once
  • Offline-first behaviour, so field work carries on wherever it happens
  • End-to-end encryption where the data warrants it, with keys held by the user
  • Store submission handled, review notes and all
  • A maintenance plan that keeps pace with both platforms’ yearly releases

Talk through your project

What this looks like in practice

  • Field data capture

    Works offline, syncs when it can, keeps every record

  • Companion app

    The parts of a web tool that belong in a pocket

  • Secure messaging

    End-to-end encrypted, keys stay on the device

How it runs

  1. 01

    We confirm an app is the right fit

    Sometimes a good mobile website serves you better, at a lower cost, and we will recommend it.
  2. 02

    We prototype the hard part first

    Offline sync, or the camera, or the thing nobody is sure about — before the easy screens get built around it.
  3. 03

    We ship to a small group

    Real devices, real hands, real network conditions, ahead of the store.
  4. 04

    We hand over the pipeline

    Signing, builds and releases, documented so anyone on your team can ship a release.

Questions people ask

Native or cross-platform?
Cross-platform for almost everything, native where a platform capability genuinely demands it. We will tell you which one you are looking at and why.
Who owns the store listings?
You do. The accounts are yours, in your organisation’s name, so they stay with you as your team changes.
What does maintenance actually cost?
Both platforms update every year, so plan for a release or two a year to keep pace; we will give you a real number.
