How do we deliver custom mobile app development services?
- 1
Gather requirements.
Before diving into custom mobile app development, we determine the requirements and collect information about the client's business. The analyst then creates a breakdown, prioritizes product features, and estimates the time and cost needed to complete the software development project.
- 2
Create UI/UX design.
UI/UX designers create the UI for a custom mobile app, embed the company's brand identity into it, and develop a UI-kit that can be used to scale the design.
- 3
Plan 2–3 week sprints.
In the process of custom mobile app development, we usually work in short sprints. After each of them, the client receives a tangible result, which they can check and evaluate the software development progress. It could be an application version or a site update on the server.
- 4
Establish scalable architecture and write clear code.
Then mobile app developers build the features according to their priority. At this stage, frontend and backend teams work together to implement all the basic mobile apps functionality.
- 5
Make sure the software runs stably.
We run automatic tests and use error-tracking tools in custom mobile apps to fix the bugs.
- 6
Release the software to the store.
We follow iOS and Android guidelines and make sure the software runs smoothly to provide a quick release to the store. We've already helped over 80 clients get their apps released, so we know how to avoid all the common mistakes.
- 7
Maintain the mobile app after the release.
We continue to work with the software even after its first version is released. We may update the mobile apps based on user feedback, add new features, or fix bugs.
Our custom mobile app development cases
Oddscrowd
Here is another case of React Native application development. Oddscrowd is a mobile application built for the community of bettors and was rapidly developed just in time for the Super Bowl. Custom mobile application development for Oddscrowd was our second project with them. Learn more about what we created for our repeat client.
Hamperapp
We developed both web and mobile applications for a laundry service based in Florida, US. For Hamperapp, we built separate Android and iOS mobile apps using Kotlin and Swift programming languages, respectively. The goal was to automate the entire Hamperapp service for better audience reach. Year over year, they have doubled in users. Read about Hamperapp’s case study.
Noah
Noah is a Swedish mobile application that directly connects farmers with their customers. With the harvest season lasting from July to October, we had only 4 months from our initial contact to release. As a mobile app development company, we created an admin panel and two native versions of the custom mobile apps for customers and farmers on Android and iOS.
ShipMe
A shipping application from Saudi Arabia, ShipMe’s project included native app development for customer, individual shipper, and corporate shipper roles, as well as web development for a corporate administrator role. Click to learn more about how we handle custom app development for different workflows.
Lainappi
An eco-friendly mobile application from Finland for renting items, Lainappi was custom-built using the React Native framework within three months. For this project, we performed a redesign and changed the initial user flow. Lainappi is now under maintenance and support. Check out our custom application development.
How to choose which technologies to use for custom mobile application development?
Cross-platform or native custom app development
Cross-platform | Native | |
Technologies | React Native (JavaScript) | Swift for iOS Kotlin for Android |
Code | Shared code for both platforms | Separate coding for both platforms |
UI/UX | Native look and feel | Native look and feel |
Performance | Might have lower performance compared to native mobile applications | Optimized for iOS and Android platforms |
Access to native features | May have a delayed access to native features if these are introduced right before the custom app development process | Full instant access to native features |
Development time | App development service performed faster due to shared codebase | Custom application development might take longer as separate coding is required for each platform |
Maintenance and updates | Due to a shared codebase, a mobile application is easy to maintain and update. | As each operation system is built with different technologies, each requires separate maintenance. |
Community support | Very active community support | Specific to platform community support |

What does the app development price depend on?
The cost of developing a custom app depends on several key factors. Here's what can influence the price:
- 1
Complexity and feature set
The more complex your app, with advanced features and custom functionalities, the higher the cost due to the additional development time and resources needed.
- 2
Platform choice
Are you looking for a native app for iOS or Android, or a cross-platform application? Native apps for each platform may cost more due to specialized expertise required, while cross-platform apps can be more cost-effective.
- 3
Design requirements
Custom design work, including unique UI/UX elements, animations, and branding, can impact the price. A more intricate design will take more time to create and implement.
- 4
Integration points
If your app needs to connect with third-party services, APIs, or existing systems, this can add to the complexity and price of the project.
- 5
Maintenance plan
Post-launch services like updates, bug fixes, and support can also factor into the overall cost. We recommend considering a maintenance plan to keep your app up-to-date and running smoothly.
- 6
Project timeline
An accelerated timeline may require a larger team or extended hours, resulting in a higher price for quicker delivery.
We always aim for transparency in our pricing and will work with you to define the scope and provide a detailed quote for your custom mobile application development needs.

What are native and cross-platform apps?
What are native and cross-platform apps?
Native mobile apps are usually created specifically for iOS or Android operating systems. Each of these platforms needs the code to be written in a specific coding language: Swift or Objective-C for iOS and Java or Kotlin for Android. That’s why you will need to hire two separate development teams to create and maintain such apps.
Cross-platform mobile apps are usually built with the help of React Native framework and JavaScript coding language. Within this approach, both iOS and Android apps are created from one code base. These types of apps are easier to maintain but may perform slower than their native counterparts.
As a part of our custom mobile app development services, we can engineer both types of mobile apps depending on your business goals and target audience.
Native app or React Native app: which one better matches my business?
Native apps better integrate with the device’s operating system, which results in better performance. These mobile apps can also take full advantage of the device’s hardware: microphone, gyroscopic sensor, or Bluetooth. To add, with the help of native development, you can implement advanced features connected to augmented reality or biometrics. Native apps are more expensive to develop than cross-platform ones.
React Native apps can perform as well as native ones. But in case you are planning to build a complex high-load platform, React Native may not be a good choice. React Native makes the development quick and cost-effective as you need only one team to develop and maintain the app. This type of software is especially good for startuppers who want to test their business idea.
In the process of delivering custom mobile app development, our team can analyze your idea and target audience and find out which of these models is a better match.
