React Native app development company for iOS and Android

A mobile app is only as good as the backend behind it and the release process around it. Most failed apps we are asked to rescue are not badly designed. They have no plan for push notifications, store review, API versioning or what happens when a user is on a weak connection in a warehouse. As a React Native app development company, we build the app, the API and the release pipeline together, so none of them is an afterthought.

React Native lets us write one codebase and ship to both the App Store and Google Play, which keeps the first release affordable and keeps features arriving on both platforms at the same time. We use Expo for builds and over-the-air updates, so small fixes reach users without waiting on a full store review. Our apps range from a consumer fitness app with encrypted in-app chat to a field-sales app for reps working across Australian territories. Zigy, a Dubai home-services platform, runs a customer app and a separate partner app for providers on the same Laravel backend, and both are live on the App Store and Google Play.

Who this is for

  • Businesses with field staff, drivers or reps who need a phone-first tool for the work they do away from a desk
  • Founders launching a consumer app who want iOS and Android from one team and one budget
  • Companies with a web platform that now needs a mobile companion talking to the same backend
  • Teams with an existing app that is slow, unstable or stuck in store rejection and needs a stable owner

What we build

  • Consumer apps with accounts, bookings, payments and push notifications
  • Encrypted one-to-one and group chat inside the app, as built for Fitorza on Expo
  • Field-rep apps with shift start, pause and end, and live GPS route tracking, as built for SalesPattern
  • Driver and partner apps with job alerts, schedules, earnings and delivery status
  • Offline-friendly flows for low-signal areas, with sync when the connection returns
  • Store listings, release management and over-the-air updates through EAS builds

How the work runs

  1. Journeys firstWe map the three or four journeys that matter most, such as booking, tracking or logging a visit, and design the app around them instead of around a feature list.
  2. API and app togetherBackend contracts and screens are built in parallel, so mobile never waits on a finished API and the API is shaped by real screens.
  3. Test builds on real devicesYou install internal builds on your own phones every week. We test on real iOS and Android devices, not just simulators, before anything goes near review.
  4. Store release and updatesWe prepare listings, handle submissions and review feedback, then keep shipping fixes and features. Over-the-air updates handle the small stuff quickly.

Pricing model

Mobile work is priced as a fixed scope for the first release, then often continued as build and run. A focused first release - API, web portal and one mobile app - is typically an 8-14 week fixed-scope build, and the free scoping call turns your feature list into a written number before you commit. Agencies and funded startups sometimes prefer a dedicated team of engineers embedded in their own process, billed per seat each month.

The main cost drivers are the number of distinct apps (a customer app and a partner app are two builds), how much work happens on the server rather than the phone, the depth of real-time features such as chat or live tracking, and how many third-party services we connect, including payments and maps. Platform fees and store developer accounts are separate from build cost. Keeping the first release narrow, and adding features after real users respond, is the most dependable way to control spend. We also advise on which features genuinely need a native app and which can stay in a web view or a simple link, because every screen you do not build is money you keep.

Questions buyers ask

Why React Native instead of separate native apps?
One codebase serves both stores, which usually means a faster first release and lower maintenance cost. Truly graphics-heavy or hardware-specific apps can justify native code, and we will tell you if yours does. For commerce, bookings, field work and chat, React Native is a sound fit.
Will you publish the app under our developer accounts?
Yes, we recommend it. The App Store and Google Play listings should belong to your company, so you keep control of the app if you ever change suppliers. We guide you through account setup and handle submissions.
Can the app work with poor connectivity?
We design for it where the use case needs it, for example field work in low-signal areas. That means saving actions locally and syncing later, with clear conflict rules. It adds scope, so we decide this during scoping rather than midway through the build.
Do you also build the backend?
Yes. Most of our mobile projects ship with a Laravel API and an admin portal, because an app without a way to manage its data is rarely useful. We can also work against an existing backend if it is documented.
