Mobile Application Development —
Launch in 28 Days, Loved for Years.
iOS, Android, React Native, or Flutter. We ship MVPs in 28 days and full-featured apps in 8-16 weeks. 4.8★ average rating across 50+ shipped apps.
Native vs React Native vs Flutter.
Native iOS/Android
Max performance, platform-specific UX
React Native
Startups, cross-platform at speed
Flutter
Custom UI, brand-heavy apps
“Maple54 shipped our MVP in 28 days. 50,000 downloads in month one. 4.8 stars on both stores. The React Native decision saved us $80K and 2 months.”
8-14 weeks from spec to App Store.
Mobile apps are software products, not one-off projects. We build them with the discipline of a Series-B engineering team: CI/CD, instrumentation, crash reporting, and versioning from day one.
Product + design
Week 1-2Feature-priority matrix, user flows, Figma hi-fi, Material 3 / HIG compliance audit, design system tokens for iOS + Android consistency.
Build sprints
Week 3-8React Native or Flutter for cross-platform, Swift / Kotlin for native. Weekly Friday demos in TestFlight / Play Console. CI/CD from day 1.
QA + submission
Week 9-10Accessibility audit, crash-free-session metrics, App Store Connect + Google Play Console submissions, privacy-label + age-rating compliance.
Launch + iterate
Week 11+Public release, Firebase / Sentry monitoring, push-notification + in-app-messaging integration, v1.1 feature roadmap kicked off immediately.
Everything needed to ship + support an app.
App Store submissions, analytics, crash reporting, and push infrastructure — all baked in.
Native or cross-platform build
React Native or Flutter for most products (faster, cheaper, shared codebase). Swift / Kotlin when platform APIs or performance demand it. We pick based on product needs, not preference.
App Store + Play Console mgmt
Submission packages, screenshots, videos, privacy labels, age ratings. We handle the approval back-and-forth so your team doesn't burn time on App Review rejections.
Analytics + crash reporting
Firebase Analytics + Sentry + Amplitude integrated from day 1. Custom event tracking, funnel analysis, crash-free-session monitoring at launch and post-launch.
Push + deep linking
OneSignal / Braze push, universal + app links, deferred deep links via Branch / AppsFlyer. The plumbing for re-engagement and attribution is live at launch — not retrofitted.
Built for products with mobile-first engagement.
Not everyone needs a native app. Before building, we challenge you: would a PWA do the job? When the answer is “no” — push notifications, offline, deep OS integration, App Store discovery — we build.
Commerce + Loyalty
Shopping apps with tier-aware loyalty, push-based re-engagement, one-tap reorder. Mobile shoppers convert 2-3× higher in native apps vs. mobile web.
Fitness + Health
Workout apps, meditation apps, habit trackers, coaching platforms. Native integration with HealthKit / Google Fit + background workouts = native-only features.
Social + Community
Discussion communities, member-exclusive apps, direct-messaging products. Push notification + camera / mic integration define the UX — web can't match.
Learning + Coaching
Course apps, cohort-based learning, language-learning tools. Offline download + background audio + streak mechanics are app-native table stakes.
The tools behind every app we ship.
Cross-platform + native expertise across the full mobile lifecycle.
Mobile apps, answered honestly.
React Native vs. Flutter vs. Native?
React Native if your team knows React. Flutter for best cross-platform performance + animation fidelity. Native (Swift + Kotlin) when platform-specific APIs (AR, Widgets, advanced HealthKit, complex background tasks) are core to the product.
Do I really need a mobile app?
Probably not. 70% of clients who ask for an app can accomplish their goal with a PWA or mobile-optimized web app. We'll tell you honestly. When you do need native, the value is usually push + offline + OS integration.
How long does App Store approval take?
iOS: typically 24-48 hours per submission. Android: 4-24 hours. First-time submissions often need 1-2 revisions for metadata or policy concerns — we've seen every rejection reason and route around them.
What does post-launch support look like?
Most clients retain us for ongoing maintenance: v1.1 feature releases, bug fixes, OS updates (every iOS / Android major version requires review). Typical retainer: $3-8K/month for maintenance + 1-2 features/quarter.
How much does an app cost?
MVP ($30-75K): 1 platform, 5-8 screens, auth + core feature. Full product ($75-250K): 2 platforms, 15-30 screens, backend + integrations. Enterprise ($250K+): complex workflows, multi-role permissions, real-time sync.
From MVP to enterprise.
