Mobile Apps

We build native-feeling iOS and Android apps from a single codebase — shipped to the stores, instrumented from day one, and designed for the retention problem that kills most apps in week two.

What we build

3 ways we deliver Mobile Apps

MVP App

Validate the idea in weeks, on real users, not in a deck.

You receive

  • Scope cut to the one job the app must do
  • Core feature development
  • Backend and API integration
  • App Store and Play Store submission
  • Analytics and crash reporting from day one
  • Post-launch iteration sprint

Cross-Platform Build

One codebase serving both stores, without doubling the budget.

You receive

  • React Native application
  • Platform-appropriate navigation and gestures
  • Push notifications and deep linking
  • Offline-first data layer
  • Continuous deployment to both stores
  • Release and rollback process

App Redesign

Turn an app people tolerate into one they open.

You receive

  • UX audit against real usage data
  • Complete visual redesign
  • Performance and startup-time optimisation
  • Migration off legacy architecture
  • Accessibility improvements
  • A/B testing framework

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.

  1. Cut the scope

    Week 1–2

    We 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.

  2. Prototype the core loop

    Week 2–4

    We 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.

  3. Build and instrument

    Week 4–10

    Two-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.

  4. Submit and iterate

    Week 10–12

    We 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.

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.
