Mobile App MVP Development, Core Flow Before the Stores

Both, and usually from one codebase. We build with React Native and Expo so iOS and Android ship together, which keeps your timeline and budget sane without two separate teams. When you genuinely need fully native performance or a platform-specific API, we will tell you and build native for that part. The decision is driven by your product, not by what is easiest for us.

Yes. We prepare review-ready builds, set up the store listings with the ASO basics, and handle submission to both stores. One honest caveat: Apple and Google control their own review timelines and decisions, so we get you fully review-ready and manage the submission, rather than promising an approval date that is not ours to give.

Retention is engineered, not hoped for. We design onboarding that reaches the aha moment in the first session, lifecycle push that earns the next open, and offline and performance so the app never frustrates. Then we instrument it, so day-1 and day-7 retention are measured from launch and you can see what is working. The whole build is pointed at the user coming back, because that is what the stores and investors reward.

Yes, both transactional and lifecycle push. The craft is in restraint: we build notifications that are well-timed and genuinely useful, because one annoying push is all it takes for a user to disable notifications or uninstall. Done right, push is one of the strongest retention levers on mobile, and we treat it that way.

Yes. We build offline-first where it matters, so the core experience works on a weak connection or the subway and syncs cleanly when the network returns. Mobile users do not forgive an app that spins on a loading screen, so resilience to bad connectivity is part of the architecture, not a patch.

Yes. We integrate App Store and Play billing through StoreKit and Play Billing, and use a layer like RevenueCat when it simplifies cross-platform subscriptions and receipts. We build the paywall and entitlement logic so upgrades, renewals, and restores all behave correctly, which is exactly where DIY billing tends to break.

A tightly scoped mobile MVP, the core flow with onboarding, push, and offline, gets a fixed quote and build date, plus the store review time that Apple and Google control. Store apps sit outside our fixed web packages, so we scope them first. We lock scope during discovery so the build date is a commitment, and you get a build on your own phone every week.

All of it: 100% of the source code, infrastructure, and documentation, plus your own App Store and Play developer accounts and listings. There is no vendor lock-in and no licensing fee. Owning the code and the store presence is what lets you update, scale, and grow the app without depending on us.

Book a 30-minute discovery call. We discuss your app, your users, the retention and platform surface, timeline, and budget. You leave with a scope document, a retention plan, a scoped quote, and a build timeline, before any commitment. If what you actually need is a web app or a landing page, we will tell you that too.
