MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT

Mobile apps are our bread and butter. We started in 2009 with a specialized focus on Objective-C, and have kept pace with the market since then, adopting. We are currently most focused on Swift/SwiftUI and Flutter. We also provide Android, server backend, and graphic design services for clients looking for everything in one place.

MOBILE APP MANAGEMENT

We have experience with all levels of the app lifestyle. It’s not just about building the app, it’s also about running it, and sometimes even building an internal team.

We can assist you with running your app, maintenance, and product management for future updates. We also have Scrum and Agile Coaching certification, so we can assist with Agile transformation.

WHITELABEL APP PLATFORM

Development is big outlay of time and resources. There is no question about that. For customers looking to get something out of the box, we provide a SaaS “app for building apps” named consuite.

While the platform is optimized for the events industry (thus the name), it has in-app content and theme management, app usage monitoring, and a wide set of features that are valuable to any content-driven app.

 

Featured Technologies

We have worked on over 25 mobile app and web projects for clients and the general public. These are some our favorite technologies and why we use them.

 

SWIFT / SWIFT UI

Swift and Swift UI are are Apple’s first-class languages for iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, tvOS, VisionOS development. (The list grows every day)

Compared to other solutions, these languages let you access every available development function Apple provides. Multiplatform and web solutions can do a good job of replicating Apple’s features, but when you want the real thing, or have a really tough problem to solve, like heavy data processing, video, or access to new sensors on the device, Swift allows you to have the most control and customization.

For clients looking to speed up development, SwiftUI has a more optimized workflow for user interface development and makes frontend development cycles faster.

We have been developing and supporting Swift apps since the language debuted in 2014.

FLUTTER

When you are getting a product out to market, you want to reach the most customers possible. iOS is a very strong platform with high monetization, but we have seen that for many of our clients that offer both iOS and Android apps, Android is about 50% of their user base. 50% is a huge market to leave on the table.

Flutter is a cross-platform solution offered by Google in 2018. Google uses it for their own apps like the Google Ads app, and other big players like Toyota use it for their in-car displays.

Two things make Flutter stand out compared to React Native and pure web apps: Performance and customization. Flutter basically provided all the drawing functions of an Operating System in a software library, so it renders faster than other third-party solution. Since it has such a deep backing layer, the customization you can provide in Flutter apps rivals Swift and Kotlin native apps. Most users can’t even tell it’s not a native app.

We released our first Flutter apps in 2019, and the same apps are still running strong in the App Store with low crash rates and high user ratings.

INTERNET OF THINGS (ESP32)

This is actually a curve-ball, but we also develop software for the Internet of Things. Not only do we provide Swift and Flutter libraries to connect to Bluetooth and Wifi devices, but we also write code for the ESP32 microcontroller itself!

The ESP32 is one of the most popular platforms for connected device development today. It provides Bluetooth and Wifi out of the box, and you can rely on a wide variety of open source and commercial libraries to integrate with more hardware. Using the LVGL user interface library, we can also implement your branding and design assests on a wide variety of touchscreens and other display devices.

Featured Services

An app business is not just about being able to code. You also need to maintain it, understand what you need to build next, and sometimes even build a team. Rely on our experience to help you grow your app business.

APP MAINTenAnce and Monitoring

Many of our clients come to us when they need help getting their app to the next level. It is natural that some resources are not appropriate for all levels of your business.

With our deep experience maintaining Production-grade applications, we can help you maintain or update your application and we can help you monitor and understand your App Store presence.

Product Management

Business is not just about what you can build, but also understanding what you should build.

With our experience building our own app business, and helping a wide variety of businesses roll out their products, we can advise you on trends, put together product requirements, and come up with KPIs to help you meet your goals.

AGILE TRANSFORMATION

We have Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Agile Coach certification, as well as real world experience in Agile and Waterfall environments.

We can help you move over to Agile, build a development team, and build engineering practices to help you create a sustainable product development organization.

 

Consuite Platform

You don’t need to re-invent the wheel every time. Our Consuite whitelabel app platform gives you full customization over your brand, content, and monetization all from a web app. You can maintain your own app without ever having to call us ( unless you want to 😊 )

 

WEB-BASED CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Maintain all your content and branding from our web-based app. You get a unique site for your app, where have control of the app management.

We provide pre-built page templates for you to use, and suggestions on theming and color schemes, which can be valuable for Accessibility compatibility. You can put together your app on the website and see a live preview while you are working on it.

Once you are done, you can save your changes in the browser, and they will be pushed to every user of your app.

PRE-BUILT FEATURES

Adding new features is as simple as selecting them from a menu. Think of us as a “SquareSpace for Apps”.

We provide the layout and functionality for you as a component, you just add the content and customize how it will work.

Consuite is a true “no-code” solution.

MONETIZATION

For so many app businesses, there is no business without monetization. We allow you to monetize promotions and content within your app. We provide billing integration with Stripe, so you can provide your customers with a trusted portal for entering their payment information. We also automatically generate reports so you and your customers can understand ROI and effectiveness of campaigns.
