Useful mobile apps that feel simple from the first tap
Mobile Apps People Enjoy Using
We design and build mobile apps for iPhone and Android, then help with testing, launch, updates, and the systems needed behind the app. We start with the tasks your users need to complete and keep the experience clear, quick, and familiar.

- ✓ App Store and Play Store launch
- ✓ Connections to existing systems
What's Included in Our Mobile Apps Services
We build mobile apps end-to-end - from discovery and design through development, testing, store submission, and post-launch maintenance.
React Native Development
We build cross-platform apps using React Native that look and feel native on both iOS and Android. One codebase, two platforms - reducing development time by up to 40% compared to native-only development, without compromising user experience or performance.
iOS Development
For apps that require deep Apple ecosystem integration - HealthKit, ARKit, Core ML, Face ID, Apple Pay - we build native iOS apps using Swift and SwiftUI, following Human Interface Guidelines for a polished, App Store-ready experience.
Android Development
Native Android development using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for apps that leverage platform-specific Android capabilities - including NFC, Bluetooth, background services, and deep Google ecosystem integration across the fragmented Android device landscape.
Progressive Web Apps (PWA)
For businesses that need app-like functionality without the friction of app store distribution, we build PWAs that work offline, send push notifications, and install on home screens - accessible from any browser with no download required.
App UI/UX Design
Our mobile designers create intuitive, visually refined interfaces following platform-specific design guidelines (iOS Human Interface and Material Design). We prototype interactions in Figma and conduct usability testing before development begins.
API Integration
Every app we build integrates seamlessly with backends via REST or GraphQL APIs. We connect apps to payment gateways (Razorpay, Stripe), maps (Google Maps), authentication (Firebase Auth, OAuth), push notifications (FCM/APNs), analytics, and custom APIs.
App Store Submission
We handle the complete submission process for both Apple App Store and Google Play - preparing app metadata, screenshots, compliance documentation, privacy policy requirements, and managing the review pipeline until your app is live and downloadable.
Security & Compliance
Mobile apps require specific security considerations - certificate pinning, secure storage, biometric authentication, data encryption, and GDPR/DPDP compliance. We implement these from day one, not as an afterthought before submission.
React Native vs Native iOS/Android
Choosing the right development approach affects your timeline, budget, and long-term maintenance costs. Here is how we help clients decide:
Choose React Native if...
- ✓You need to launch on both iOS and Android with limited budget
- ✓Your app is primarily UI-driven with standard device features
- ✓You want a shared codebase for easier long-term maintenance
- ✓Your team already has React/JavaScript expertise
- ✓You plan to build a web version alongside the mobile app
Choose Native Development if...
- ✓Your app needs deep hardware access (ARKit, HealthKit, CoreML)
- ✓Performance is critical - gaming, video processing, real-time AR
- ✓You need features only available through native platform APIs
- ✓You are building for a single platform initially with no cross-platform plans
- ✓Pixel-perfect platform-specific UI conventions are a hard requirement
Our Mobile Apps Process
From concept to App Store listing, our process is designed to minimise risk and maximise quality at every stage.
1
Discovery & Strategy
We define app goals, user personas, feature scope (MVP vs full release), technology stack, backend architecture, and third-party integrations. We produce a detailed specification that prevents scope creep and cost overruns.
2
Design & Planning
User flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity Figma prototypes for every screen. We prototype key interactions and test with real users before development begins, catching UX issues when changes are cheap - not expensive.
3
Development & Testing
Development in two-week sprints with working demos at each milestone. Unit testing, integration testing, device compatibility testing across 10+ real devices, and beta testing via TestFlight (iOS) and Play Store internal track (Android).
4
Launch & Support
App Store and Play Store submission, listing optimisation, launch monitoring, and crash tracking via Sentry or Firebase Crashlytics. Post-launch, we offer structured maintenance plans to handle OS updates, user feedback, and feature additions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a mobile app?+
Timing depends on the approved features, platforms, backend, integrations, content, privacy and security work, testing, client review and store requirements. Discovery produces a milestone plan with dependencies and change control; a general page cannot promise a delivery date for an unscoped app.
Do you build for both iOS and Android?+
Yes. We build cross-platform mobile apps using React Native, which produces native-quality apps for both iOS and Android from a single codebase. This significantly reduces development time and cost compared to building two separate native apps. For projects requiring deep platform-specific features, we also build native iOS (Swift) or Android (Kotlin) apps.
Can you publish the app to the App Store and Play Store?+
Submission support can be included for Apple App Store and Google Play, covering agreed metadata, screenshots, signing and review responses. Developer accounts should normally remain client-controlled. Apple and Google make the final approval decision, so acceptance and review timing cannot be guaranteed.
Do you provide app maintenance after launch?+
Yes. Mobile apps require ongoing maintenance - OS updates from Apple and Google can break functionality, and user feedback often surfaces improvements. We offer structured maintenance plans covering monthly dependency updates, OS compatibility testing, bug fixes, performance monitoring, and crash reporting via tools like Sentry or Firebase Crashlytics.
Can you integrate the app with our existing website or backend?+
Yes. Depending on the selected architecture, the app can connect to an existing backend through REST, GraphQL or another supported interface, or include a new backend in the agreed scope. Data fields, authentication, permissions, hosting and third-party providers are reviewed before integration.

Schedule a CallPrivacy-aware app delivery
Mobile permissions should follow real product needs.
An app’s screens, device permissions, SDKs, backend, notifications and store disclosures should be designed as one data system rather than reviewed separately at release.
Read the privacy policy- 01
Device permissions
Request camera, photos, contacts, location, microphone, notifications or other device access only when the user reaches a feature that genuinely needs it, with a clear explanation.
- 02
SDK and API inventory
Document analytics, crash reporting, attribution, maps, messaging, payment and social SDKs, their data access, configuration, hosting and available opt-out controls.
- 03
Accounts and deletion
Define registration, authentication, profile editing, account deletion, export and retention behaviour before implementing the account journey.
- 04
Store and release ownership
Use client-controlled developer accounts where agreed and keep privacy labels, screenshots, support details and policy links aligned with the released app and current SDK behaviour.
App-store approval, review timing, device behaviour and third-party SDK availability remain subject to Apple, Google and provider policies; approval cannot be guaranteed.
Privacy questions and personal-data requests can be sent to privacy@elan-tech.net.
