Native-quality mobile apps built with React Native and Expo — shipped to both stores faster, without compromising how they feel.

React NativeExpoTypeScript

Overview

What you get.

  • Cross-platform
  • Native feel
  • Fast shipping

React Native renders real native components, so your app scrolls, animates and responds like a native app while sharing most of its code across iOS and Android.

We handle the whole lifecycle: product definition, UX, development, backend integration, store submission, and over-the-air updates after release.

Shipping an app is more than writing screens. Store guidelines, privacy declarations, permission prompts, deep linking and crash reporting all need attention long before release. We handle these as part of delivery rather than leaving them as last-minute surprises.

We also think carefully about the first-run experience and offline behaviour, because that's where mobile users decide whether to keep an app or delete it.

Why it matters

The problem we solve.

01

Mobile is where customers are

Apps support push notifications, offline access and device features websites can't match.

02

Two native teams double the cost

One shared codebase halves development and keeps iOS and Android behaviour consistent.

03

Store review is unforgiving

Rejections delay launches; knowing the guidelines saves weeks.

04

Retention depends on polish

Smooth animation, fast launch and reliable sync keep users coming back.

How the project runs

Our process.

Transparent milestones, weekly demos and one point of contact from kickoff to launch.

  1. 01

    Product scoping

    Core user journeys, MVP boundary and platform requirements defined.

  2. 02

    UX prototype

    Clickable prototype tested with real users before development.

  3. 03

    Build

    Expo + TypeScript, typed navigation, API client and shared design system.

  4. 04

    Native modules

    Custom native code only when a capability demands it.

  5. 05

    Beta testing

    TestFlight and internal tracks, crash reporting and device-matrix QA.

FAQ

Common questions.

React Native vs. fully native?

For most business apps React Native is faster and cheaper to ship and maintain. Highly graphics-heavy apps may warrant native.

Do you publish to the stores for us?

Yes — we manage developer accounts setup guidance, builds, metadata and review responses.

Can the app share code with our website?

Yes. Types, validation and API clients are commonly shared in a monorepo.

How long does an app take?

A focused MVP typically takes 8–14 weeks including store submission. Scope drives the final figure.

Who owns the developer accounts?

You do. We help set up Apple Developer and Google Play accounts under your organisation and manage builds on your behalf.

What about after launch?

We provide maintenance plans covering OS updates, library upgrades, bug fixes and new features.

Working together

How we engage.

01

Fixed-scope project

A defined scope, timeline and price agreed after discovery. Best for launches and rebuilds with clear requirements.

02

Monthly retainer

A dedicated block of senior time each month for continuous delivery, iteration and support.

03

Audit & advisory

A short, focused engagement that reviews what you have and hands you a prioritised plan to act on.

What to expect

01

Kickoff

A 45–60 minute call to understand goals, audience, constraints and timeline.

02

Written proposal

Scope, milestones, deliverables and pricing within a few working days of the call.

03

Weekly rhythm

A short demo and written update every week so there are never surprises.

04

Your input

One decision-maker, timely feedback and access to brand assets, content and accounts.
