Mobile apps: your app for iPhone and Android
Some tasks fit an app better than a website: signing customers in, recording jobs, managing appointments or supporting staff on the move. We first tell you honestly whether it really has to be an app. If it does, we build it for iPhone and Android.
Overview
Mobile apps
Your app for iPhone and Android: from the idea through a clickable prototype to publication in the App Store and on Google Play.

Does it really need an app?
Often a good mobile website is enough. An app is worth it if you need the camera, notifications or features that work offline. We discuss this before the offer, even if the answer is no.
Start small
A first version with the most important features is often smarter than a big app nobody uses. We plan a first version with you and the extensions afterwards.
How it works
It starts with advice: app or mobile website? We clarify that before the offer, usually within a few working days. If the choice falls on an app, we agree the most important functions and show them in a clickable prototype. Then we build the app in stages, and you test each stage on your own device. Finally we test on real devices and submit the app to Apple and Google. Their review usually takes a few days and is not in our hands. A first version takes twenty to forty working days, depending on the functions. That is a guide value, not a promise.
How you measure success
An app is successful when it is used and runs stably. Measure the number of active users per week, the share who actually complete the main task and the number of crashes. The stores show you crashes, ratings and installations. Add the start-up time of the app and the time a task takes. For an app for employees, what counts is how much time it saves compared with the previous way, for example paper slips or spreadsheets. Compare before and after launch. A first version is also for learning. How many people will use it, we cannot predict.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own accounts with Apple and Google?
Yes. Publishing requires a developer account in your name or in your company name. You pay the fees for it directly to Apple and Google. We guide you through the sign-up step by step.
Will the app definitely be approved?
That is for Apple and Google to decide. Both review every app themselves. We follow their rules and submit cleanly, but there can be no guarantee of approval.
How long does approval by Apple and Google take?
Usually a few days, sometimes longer. Both review every app themselves, and if there are queries or a rejection we have to improve and resubmit. So plan some time for it. We follow the stores’ rules and submit cleanly. There can be no guarantee of a date or of approval.
What happens if I want new functions later?
The first version is built so that functions can be added later. We collect wishes with you, rank them by benefit and build them in small steps. For each extension you receive a written fixed-price offer beforehand, with payment only after approval. Bear in mind that operating systems change and an app therefore occasionally needs adjustments.
What does an app cost?
That depends on the features. You receive a written fixed-price offer before we start, payment only after approval. We list the running fees of the stores and services in the offer.
We would be glad to show you what your new website can look like.
Free, without obligation and without a call. You only pay if you approve the finished website.
