Mobile App Development

We have delivered a consumer Android application with the backend, push notification system and operations console behind it, and installable progressive web apps on five further projects. Which of those two you actually need is the first thing worth settling, and the answer is not always the app.

What decides whether a mobile app is worth building?

The question is not whether an app would be nice to have, but whether people will open it a second time. Apps earn their place when they are used repeatedly, benefit from being on the home screen, or need something the browser cannot reach: notifications people act on, the camera, location in the background. If a good mobile website would do the job, we will say so, and often it would.

Where an app is the right call, most of the risk sits behind it rather than in the screens. For MatchingJodi we built the Android application together with the backend serving it, the marketing site and a single operations console, because the app, the website and the support team all have to agree on what is true about a member. The same build carried push notifications with retry handling and a full delivery log, so the team can see what actually reached a phone rather than what was sent.

The alternative we reach for often is an installable progressive web app, and five of the projects in our portfolio use one: a restaurant counter system with a platform-aware install flow and its own service worker, a commerce storefront with offline asset caching, a school parent portal, an AI reporting platform and a marketplace. It installs to the home screen, works offline, updates without a store review, and costs a fraction of two native codebases. Where it falls short is background location and the deepest device integrations, which is exactly when we build native instead.

Worth thinking about before commissioning an app

  • What will make someone open this a second time?
  • Could an installable web app do the same job without two codebases?
  • What must keep working when the connection drops?
  • Who needs to see whether a notification actually arrived?
  • Who holds the store accounts, and who ships the next release?

Mobile App Development questions

Often a website does the job. We build installable progressive web apps for exactly this reason: home screen, offline, push, no store review, one codebase. Native earns its cost when you need background location or deep device integration, and we will say which applies.

Yes, through one API serving the app, the website and your operations console. That is how we built MatchingJodi, because the support team correcting a member record over the phone has to be looking at the same data the member sees in the app.

The app works on what it already holds and reconciles when the connection returns. Our progressive web app builds cache assets and handle uploads with automatic retries, because a demo on office wifi tells you nothing about a venue or a shop floor.

You do, and we would rather you set them up in your own name from the start. Publishing under an agency account is a common shortcut that becomes expensive the moment you want to change supplier or transfer the listing.

Days rather than hours, and it can reject a build for reasons that have nothing to do with the code. We plan releases as a staged rollout with review time built in, rather than promising a launch date that depends on someone else's queue.

Yes. We delivered the MatchingJodi Android application along with its backend, marketing site and operations console, including push campaigns with delivery monitoring. Five further projects ship as installable progressive web apps rather than native builds.
