Mobile app development for iOS and Android with React Native and Expo: one codebase for both platforms, with native app performance. I take the project from idea to release on the App Store and Google Play, and after launch I handle the updates.

What does app development include?

Custom app

From idea to app in the stores.

  • Requirements and features analysis
  • UX/UI design with interactive prototypes
  • Development with React Native and Expo
  • APIs, database, login and user management
  • Publishing on the App Store and Google Play

Maintenance

The app stays up to date and stable.

  • Updates for new iOS and Android versions
  • Crash and performance monitoring
  • Bug fixes and improvements
  • App store optimization (ASO)

Redesign

You already have an app that needs a refresh.

  • New interface
  • Migration from outdated technologies to React Native
  • Faster app
  • New features and integrations

  4. 04

    Publishing

    App Store and Google Play, analytics and monitoring.

How much does it cost to build an app?

Quote on request

The cost depends on the features. With React Native a single codebase covers iPhone and Android, so it costs less than two separate apps. The quote is free and in writing.

FAQ

How long does it take to build an app?

From 4 to 16 weeks. A simple app (catalog, contacts, notifications) takes 4-6 weeks; with login, payments and advanced features it takes 8-16 weeks. Before we start, you get a detailed schedule.

Will the app work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. With React Native I write a single codebase that runs on both platforms, with the look and performance of a native app.

Do you also handle publishing to the stores?

Yes. I handle the whole release on the App Store and Google Play: developer account, screenshots, listings and review. Afterwards I can also manage the updates.

Can I update the app without going through the stores?

For many changes, yes: with Expo, updates go straight to the phones (OTA). New native features, on the other hand, need a new version in the stores.

Can I see the app before it is built?

Yes. We start from wireframes and interactive prototypes: you try the screens on your phone and we fix them together before writing any code.

What technologies do you use?

React Native and Expo for the app, with a backend chosen for the project: a cloud database, the APIs you already have or a custom admin panel.
