How the engagement runs
Four steps, and you see work at the end of each
Every stage ends in something you can hold, review or reject — never a status update.
Cut the scope
Week 1–2We find the single job the app must do and remove everything else. The most valuable thing we do on an app project is argue features out of version one.
You getA scoped v1 feature set and a store-readiness checklist.
Prototype the core loop
Week 2–4We build the main flow as a clickable prototype and put it in front of real users before committing engineering time to it.
You getA tested prototype of the core user journey.
Build and instrument
Week 4–10Two-week cycles with a build on your device at the end of each. Analytics and crash reporting go in from the first cycle, not at the end.
You getInstallable builds every fortnight, plus a live dashboard.
Submit and iterate
Week 10–12We handle store listings, review submissions and the inevitable rejection round, then use the first weeks of real data to fix what actually breaks.
You getPublished apps and a prioritised post-launch backlog.
What we build it with
No mystery stack
Everything below is mainstream and documented, so another team could pick your project up tomorrow if they had to.
Before you ask
Questions we get on Mobile Apps
Answered plainly, including the ones with awkward answers.
App projects start around KES 250,000 and are quoted after a scoping session, because the range is genuinely wide — a focused MVP and a marketplace with payments are different orders of work.
