Mobile App Development

    One codebase. Both stores. Native-quality apps.

    I build iOS and Android apps from a single React Native codebase — so you ship to both platforms in one timeline, at one cost, with the polish and performance users expect from a native app.

    Two native apps for the price of one — without the compromise

    Building separate iOS and Android apps means two codebases, two teams, two timelines, and two maintenance bills. For most products, that's a waste. React Native lets me ship to both platforms from one codebase while keeping the native feel — smooth animations, native navigation, and access to the camera, push, and device APIs.

    You get apps that feel like they belong on each platform, ship in a single timeline, and cost roughly half of going fully native — plus a codebase that shares logic with your web product if you have one.

    What's included

    Everything you need, built properly — no shortcuts.

    iOS & Android

    One React Native codebase compiled to genuine native apps for both the App Store and Play Store.

    Native performance

    60fps animations, native navigation, and gestures that feel right on each platform.

    Auth & onboarding

    Smooth sign-up, social login, and onboarding flows designed to convert first-time users.

    Push notifications

    Engagement-driving push and in-app messaging wired up and ready to retain users.

    Offline & sync

    Offline-first data with background sync so your app works even on a patchy connection.

    Store submission

    App Store and Play Store setup, review handling, and release — I get you live, not just built.

    The full scope

    Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price — you know exactly what you're getting before we start, and you own all of it when we're done.

    Consumer apps

    You're building a mobile-first product where the phone is the primary experience.

    Marketplaces

    You need buyer and seller apps with payments, chat, and notifications on both platforms.

    Community platforms

    You want an engaging, notification-driven app to grow and retain an active community.

    Common questions

    Everything founders usually ask before we start.

    For most products, React Native delivers native-quality results from one codebase — halving build and maintenance cost and shipping both platforms in one timeline. I'll flag the rare cases where fully native is genuinely worth it.

    Yes. React Native renders real native components. With proper attention to navigation, gestures, and motion, users can't tell the difference — and it shares logic with your web app if you have one.

    Completely. I set up your developer accounts, prepare store listings and assets, handle the review process, and get your app live on both stores.

    Typically 6–8 weeks depending on scope. Mobile carries extra steps — device testing and store review — which I build into the timeline up front.

    Yes. I take on existing React Native (and some native) codebases for new features, performance work, or a rebuild — after a short code review to scope it accurately.
