Not Sure What Your First Release Should Include?
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does mobile app development cost in the UK?
The cost depends on your app’s features, platforms, design, integrations, backend, and security requirements. We first understand your requirements and provide a clear estimate based on the functionality you actually need, so you have visibility into costs before development begins.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
A simple MVP can typically take around 8–12 weeks, while more complex apps may take several months. The timeline depends on the features, platforms, integrations, design, and testing involved. We define the scope and milestones upfront to give you a realistic delivery plan.
Can you build an MVP within our budget and timeline?
Yes. We prioritise the features essential to your core user experience and business goals, then scope them for the first release. This keeps your initial investment focused while allowing additional features to be introduced as the product evolves.
Should we choose native or cross-platform app development?
Can you help us decide which features to include in our MVP?
Yes. We help distinguish essential features from those that can wait for later releases based on your users, business objectives, and product requirements. The aim is to launch a focused first version that solves the core problem without unnecessary development costs.
Do you have experience building apps like ours?
Will we own the app's source code and intellectual property?
Ownership should be clearly defined in the development agreement. For custom development, the contract should specify rights to the agreed deliverables, including source code and project-specific intellectual property. We clarify ownership, repository access, third-party components, and licensing before development begins.
How do you handle mobile app security and GDPR?
Security is considered throughout development, including authentication, API protection, encryption, access controls, secure data handling, dependency management, and appropriate testing. For UK businesses processing personal data, we also consider UK GDPR and applicable data-protection requirements during architecture and development. Specific legal compliance requirements should be confirmed with your legal or data-protection adviser.
Will you handle App Store and Google Play deployment?
Yes. We can prepare production builds, configure release settings, assist with store requirements and submissions, and support the launch process for both the Apple App Store and Google Play. Final approval remains subject to Apple’s and Google’s respective review policies.
What happens after our app launches?
We can continue supporting the app after launch with bug fixes, performance monitoring, OS compatibility updates, security updates, analytics, maintenance, and new feature development. This allows the product to evolve based on user feedback, performance data, and changing business requirements.
