Mobile App Development Services That Don't Stop at Launch

iOS and Android apps designed, built, shipped to both stores, and kept alive — by the person you actually talk to.

MVPs from $5,000–$12,000 · feature-heavy products $25,000–$60,000. Real ranges, because 'contact us for pricing' wastes your week.

Service Overview

I design and build complete mobile apps — the app itself, the backend behind it, and the store releases on both sides. You work directly with me, not through an account manager, and the scoping conversation starts with cutting your feature list, not inflating it. Four production apps and two companies — **Britxel** and **BrightAppData** — sit behind the advice.

Core Benefits

  • One senior developer end to end — no handoffs, no telephone game
  • Both stores from one codebase, so features never ship lopsided
  • Store submission, certificates and review handled for you
  • Post-launch plan available so the app keeps shipping after v1

How It Works

  1. 1Scope call — we cut the feature list to what version one actually needs
  2. 2Design and React Native build for iOS and Android, backend included
  3. 3Submission to both stores — certificates, listings and review handled
  4. 4Post-launch: crash fixes, features and OS updates, monthly if you want them

Frequently Asked Questions

What does your mobile app development service include?

Everything between idea and live app: scoping (which starts with cutting the feature list), UI, the React Native build for iOS and Android, the backend, store submissions on both sides, and optionally ongoing monthly development after launch.

How much does mobile app development cost?

A focused MVP runs $5,000-$12,000 over 6-10 weeks. Feature-heavy products range $25,000-$60,000. I publish real ranges because 'contact us for pricing' wastes everyone's time — see the full cost breakdown on the blog.

Do you work like an agency?

No — and that's the point. You talk directly to the person building the app. When a project genuinely needs a team, my software house Britxel provides it, but the default is direct, which is faster and cheaper.

Which platforms do you build for?

iOS and Android together, from one React Native codebase. If your app genuinely needs native-only capabilities — heavy Bluetooth, continuous background processing — I'll tell you to hire a native specialist instead of selling you the wrong tool.

What happens after the app launches?

Either you take the codebase (it's yours) or we continue on a monthly App Development as a Service plan: new features, crash fixes, OS updates and store compliance for a predictable fee. Apps that stop shipping updates decay — both stores penalise them.
