// build
A mobile app is only worth building if people will actually use it.
Most app briefs are built around what looks impressive in a pitch. We push back on that early — because rebuilding six months later is expensive for everyone.
Most mobile app projects fail not because of technical problems, but because the wrong thing was built. A clear definition of what problem the app solves, for whom, and why a native app is the right tool — that conversation matters more than the tech stack. We start there before writing a line of code.
What's included
-
Native iOS & Android
Swift and Kotlin for projects that genuinely need deep device integration or App Store presence.
-
React Native
Single codebase for both platforms — the right choice for most cross-platform projects with a JavaScript team.
-
Flutter
Google's cross-platform framework — excellent for UI-heavy apps where visual consistency across platforms matters.
-
Progressive Web Apps
Often the right answer — app-like experience at a fraction of native cost, installable from the browser.
-
UX design & prototyping
Design and user testing before any code is written — because changing a prototype is cheap, changing code is not.
-
App Store & Play Store submission
Screenshots, descriptions, privacy labels and managing the review process — it rarely goes smoothly the first time.
-
Ongoing maintenance
OS updates break things. We handle the ongoing maintenance and feature development so you can focus on the product.
Technologies & platforms
How we approach it
-
Discovery & validation
Define the problem, the user, the platform requirements and whether a native app is genuinely the right solution.
-
UX design & prototyping
Wireframes and clickable prototypes tested before any code is written — changes at this stage cost a fraction of development changes.
-
Development
Iterative build with regular demos so you see real progress throughout the project.
-
QA & device testing
Tested across device families, OS versions and network conditions before submission.
-
App Store submission & launch
Submission materials prepared, review process managed and launch monitoring in place.
The uWeb angle
What we do differently.
We'll tell you if you don't need a native app. Sometimes a PWA delivers 80% of the result at 20% of the cost. We'd rather give you that advice upfront — before you've committed the budget — than take the full brief and deliver something that underperforms because the wrong tool was chosen.
Common questions
Native app or PWA — how do we decide?
How long does it take?
Do you handle App Store submission?
Can you build the app and the website together?
You might also need
Web Development
From presentation sites to complex web apps — on the right stack for what you actually need.
Design
Brand identity, UI/UX and visual systems built to perform, not just impress.
Managed Services
Monthly maintenance, updates, monitoring and ongoing care — so your site doesn't become an emergency.
