Mobile Application Development
Mobile apps for students, patients, customers and field staff
Android, iOS and cross-platform apps connected to your systems, plus ongoing maintenance and app store updates.
Who this is for
For many audiences in India the phone is the main way they interact with an organisation. We build mobile applications for institutions and businesses that want to give students, patients, customers or field staff a faster way to check information, submit requests, make payments or receive notifications than a mobile website can offer.
Before recommending an app, we confirm that it serves a need a website cannot meet well, such as offline access, push notifications or device features like the camera. We then build it on a dependable backend, keep the interface simple for users on budget phones and handle app store publishing and updates.
What we deliver
- Android applications
- Native or Kotlin-based Android apps tested across a range of screen sizes and lower-memory devices common among users in India.
- iOS applications
- iPhone and iPad apps built to Apple's guidelines and submitted through App Store review under your organisation's developer account.
- Cross-platform applications
- Apps built once with Flutter or React Native and released on both Android and iOS, a practical choice when features are the same on both.
- API-backed mobile systems
- Secure backend APIs and admin panels that connect the app to your existing records, payment gateways, SMS and push notification services.
- Mobile application maintenance
- Updating apps for new OS versions and store policy changes, fixing reported bugs, and releasing improvements on a planned schedule.
What changes for your organisation
Works on everyday phones
Apps are tested on entry-level Android devices and slower networks, not just recent flagship models.
Direct notifications
Push notifications reach users about fees, appointments, results or orders without relying on SMS alone.
Store accounts you own
Apps are published under your organisation's Google Play and Apple developer accounts.
One backend for web and app
A shared API keeps app and website data consistent and avoids duplicate systems.
How a mobile application development engagement runs
- 1
Use-case validation
We confirm the app's purpose, audience and the features that justify an app over a website.
- 2
Prototype
We create clickable screen designs and test them with a few real users.
- 3
API design
We define how the app will exchange data with your systems, including authentication.
- 4
Development
We build the app and backend in iterations with test builds shared with your team.
- 5
Store submission
We prepare listings, privacy declarations and builds, and manage Play Store and App Store review.
Questions about mobile application development
Should we build native apps or one cross-platform app?
Cross-platform frameworks suit most institutional and business apps and reduce cost by sharing one codebase. Native development is worth considering when the app depends heavily on device features or needs maximum performance.
What affects the cost of a mobile app?
The number of screens and user roles, backend complexity, integrations such as payments or existing databases, and whether you need both Android and iOS all affect cost. Ongoing maintenance and store fees should also be budgeted.
Who owns the app and its store listings?
Your organisation does. We recommend creating the Google Play and Apple developer accounts in your name, and we hand over source code, signing keys and backend credentials.
How long does app store approval take?
Google Play review is usually quicker than Apple's, but both can take longer if the app handles health data, payments or children's information. We prepare privacy declarations carefully to reduce rejections.
What happens when Android or iOS releases a new version?
OS updates and store policy changes sometimes require app updates. Under a maintenance arrangement we test against new versions and release updates so the app stays available and working.
