iOS and Android apps

One React Native codebase, both stores.

Short answer. Yes. We build in React Native, which produces an iOS app and an Android app from one shared codebase. That keeps cost and upkeep down, and the web app can share the same back end.

What is included

For businesses that want an app on both stores without paying for two separate builds.

  • One shared codebase

    React Native for both stores, with native code only where a feature needs it.

  • Designed for the phone

    Screens made for thumbs and small displays, tested on real devices.

  • Shared back end

    The same accounts and data as your web app, so nothing is kept twice.

  • Push notifications and device features

    Alerts, camera, location and fingerprint sign-in, where the app needs them.

How it runs

  1. Scope

    Screens, devices and the one job the app must do.

  2. Design

    Flows and a prototype you can hold in your hand.

  3. Build

    Sprints with a test build on your phone every time.

  4. Launch and support

    Store submission, then monthly updates and fixes.

Questions we get

Can one codebase make both an iPhone and an Android app?

Yes. We build in React Native, which produces an iOS app and an Android app from one shared codebase. That keeps cost and upkeep down, and the web app can share the same back end.

Is React Native as good as a native app?

For most business apps it is a very good fit. If a feature really needs fully native code, we say so in the scope.

Do we own the app?

Yes. The code, the store accounts and the signing keys are held in your name.

Do you also build the web version?

Yes. The web app and the mobile app can share one back end, which keeps the work and upkeep in one place.
