Mobile app development for iPhone and Android
Native apps for iPhone and Android, published on the App Store and Google Play in your company's name, with their server, payments and notifications. Quoted.
An app on the App Store and Google Play is how you stay on your customers' phones every day: with your icon, your notifications and features a website doesn't have. We develop mobile apps for iPhone and Android, together with the server, the admin dashboard and the website that go with them, and the whole project runs in English.
The apps we build
- Apps for your customers: orders, bookings, loyalty programs, catalogs, appointments or exclusive content.
- Apps for your team: work orders, inventory, route sales or delivery tracking.
- Platforms with several sides: one app for customers, another for suppliers and a dashboard for you.
How we build them
- One codebase for iPhone and Android with React Native, when possible. It's the most efficient option for most projects: one app, two stores and a lower cost.
- Native apps in Swift (iPhone) or Kotlin (Android) when the project needs maximum performance or very specific phone features.
- The server and the dashboard that make the app work: user accounts, database, payments, notifications and reports.
What's included
- Screen design with your brand, following Apple's and Google's guidelines.
- Accounts, notifications, payments and, if you need them, maps, the camera and offline use.
- Testing on real iPhones and Android phones before publishing.
- Store publishing: we prepare the app, the screenshots and the listing text.
- Measurement of installs, usage and purchases.
What your company needs
- Developer accounts in your name: Apple Developer (US$99 a year) and Google Play (US$25, one-time). That way the app is yours, not ours.
- Store review: Apple and Google review every app and every update, usually within one to three days. We build that into the dates.
- Maintenance: new versions of iOS and Android come out every year; an app that isn't updated stops working well or gets pulled from the store. That's why we offer a monthly maintenance plan.
How we work
- Free 30-minute video call: the idea, who will use it and what it has to do.
- Written proposal with the screens, features, stages, dates and price.
- Design of the main screens for your approval.
- Development in stages, with test versions you install on your phone.
- Publishing on the App Store and Google Play.
- Monthly maintenance and improvements.
Pricing
Each app is quoted according to its screens, features and integrations, in Costa Rican colones plus VAT, after the video call. Apple's and Google's fees are added, paid by your company directly. If an app installed from the browser is enough for you, see web apps: they usually cost a good deal less.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a website too?
It's almost always worth it: it's where Google finds you and where people download the app from. We can build it together with the app. See our web design service.
Who owns the code?
You do. The app, the server and the store accounts are in your company's name.
How long does it take?
It depends on the features. The proposal gives you a date for each stage; the first version usually ships earlier, with the essentials, and then grows.
