Native-quality mobile apps built with React Native and Expo — shipped to both stores faster, without compromising how they feel.
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.
Mobile is where customers are
Apps support push notifications, offline access and device features websites can't match.
Two native teams double the cost
One shared codebase halves development and keeps iOS and Android behaviour consistent.
Store review is unforgiving
Rejections delay launches; knowing the guidelines saves weeks.
Retention depends on polish
Smooth animation, fast launch and reliable sync keep users coming back.
Scope of work

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.
Fixed-scope project
A defined scope, timeline and price agreed after discovery. Best for launches and rebuilds with clear requirements.
Monthly retainer
A dedicated block of senior time each month for continuous delivery, iteration and support.
Audit & advisory
A short, focused engagement that reviews what you have and hands you a prioritised plan to act on.
What to expect
Kickoff
A 45–60 minute call to understand goals, audience, constraints and timeline.
Written proposal
Scope, milestones, deliverables and pricing within a few working days of the call.
Weekly rhythm
A short demo and written update every week so there are never surprises.
Your input
One decision-maker, timely feedback and access to brand assets, content and accounts.
