# Mobile apps for iOS and Android

> iOS and Android apps for bookings, ordering, loyalty and your own staff, built from one codebase, with AI features where they help.

## The short answer

We build iOS and Android apps for small and growing businesses, from booking and ordering apps for your customers to loyalty apps and field apps for your own staff. Most of the mobile apps we build run on both iOS and Android from one codebase, and we add AI features only where they make the app more useful.

## How it works

1. **We check you need an app.** Sometimes a mobile website or WhatsApp does the job for less. If an app is the right call, we agree on the few screens that matter most.
2. **We design the flows.** You get clickable screens to try on your phone before anyone writes code.
3. **We build in short rounds.** Every couple of weeks a test version lands on your phone, and you tell us what to change.
4. **We launch and look after it.** We handle the store listings and review submission, set up crash reporting, and update the app when Apple and Google change their rules.

## What you get

- One app for iOS and Android
- Clickable designs to try before the build starts
- Test versions on your phone throughout the build
- Connection to your booking system, store, CRM or database
- App Store and Google Play listings in your company's name
- Crash and usage reports after launch
- An optional care plan for updates and fixes
- Push notifications set up
- App store optimisation: listing text, keywords and screenshots
- Analytics built in from the first release
- The source code and documentation, handed over to you
- AI features on the phone itself where they help, such as smart search or photo recognition

## Tools we work with

We use Flutter and React Native to build one codebase for both platforms, written in Dart and TypeScript. Data sits in Firebase and SQLite, behind REST and GraphQL APIs, with Redux and Riverpod for app state and the SDKs for push notifications, in-app purchases and analytics.

## Where it fits

Apps suit businesses whose customers come back often (salons, gyms, restaurants, clinics with repeat patients), stores with loyal buyers, and teams that work on the move. If you need a quick internal tool, [no-code](https://webvijayi.com/services/no-code-internal-tools/) is often faster and cheaper. And for most first-time customers, a fast [website](https://webvijayi.com/services/websites/) matters more than an app.

## Price

We quote every app in writing after a free consultation, and the timeline is agreed in the same quote. App store fees are paid separately. You'll find the full details on the [pricing page](https://webvijayi.com/pricing/).

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need an app, or will a website do?

Often a good mobile website and a WhatsApp chatbot are enough, and they cost less. An app makes sense when customers use it again and again (bookings, loyalty, ordering), when you need phone features like notifications or the camera, or when your staff need a tool in the field. We'll tell you honestly which one you need.

### Do you build native or cross-platform apps?

Usually cross-platform, with one codebase for iOS and Android, so the cost and upkeep stay lower. We go native when an app needs something that cross-platform tools handle poorly.

### Will you publish it to the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. We prepare the store listings, screenshots and privacy details, and we handle the review process. The developer accounts are in your company's name, so the app belongs to you.

### Can the app have AI features?

Yes, where they help. That could be a chat assistant inside the app, search that understands plain questions, photo or document scanning, or personalised suggestions. We add them only when they solve a real problem for your users.

### How much does an app cost?

We quote every app in writing after a free consultation, based on the screens, the features and the systems it connects to. Ongoing updates and store fees are quoted separately.
