Mobile app development

Your customers expect a fast, reliable app on the phone they already carry. Dotqode builds mobile apps for iOS and Android, either as standalone products or as companions to an existing web platform.

From idea to the app stores

We begin with the core journeys: what a user must be able to do on the first day. Our designers turn those into clickable prototypes you can test before development starts. Developers then build in sprints, with test builds you can install on your own phone throughout the project.

Before launch, our QA engineers test on a range of real devices and screen sizes. We prepare store listings and handle submission to the App Store and Google Play.

What we build

Mobile projects tend to fall into a handful of types, each with its own priorities:

• Customer-facing apps for booking, ordering, account management or loyalty, where first impressions and store ratings matter most.
• Companion apps for a web product, giving existing users quick access to the parts they use on the move, with the same accounts and data.
• Field and staff apps for inspections, deliveries or site visits, often needing offline use, camera access and reliable syncing when a signal returns.
• Apps with payments or subscriptions, set up to follow App Store and Google Play billing rules so reviews go smoothly.

Things we plan for early

Some decisions are cheap at the start and expensive later, so we raise them in the first weeks:

• How the app behaves with a poor or missing connection
• Which phones and operating system versions you need to support
• What personal data the app collects, and how that is declared to Apple and Google
• How users are told about updates, and when older versions stop working

Getting these right early avoids rejected store submissions and awkward rework once people rely on the app. We also agree how you will measure success after launch, such as sign-ups, completed orders or crash-free sessions, and add the analytics and crash reporting needed to see it.

Who this is for

This service suits companies launching a new mobile product, businesses whose customers are asking for an app alongside an existing website, and teams with an older app that has become hard to update. If you already have mobile developers, our engineers can join them as a dedicated team. If you would rather hand over the whole build, we run it as an end-to-end project with one project manager accountable for delivery.

The apps, store listings and source code are published under your accounts and belong to you.

After launch

Operating systems update every year. We offer maintenance and support so your app keeps working and keeps improving.
