Where do you start?
Building an Android & iOS app starts with defining the idea and audience, moves through specification and design, and ends with development and a store launch. Today most apps are built cross-platform — one app that runs on both Android and iOS, saving time and money.
Step 1: Define the idea and audience
Before any code, answer three questions: who is the user, what problem does the app solve, and what is the core action. Clear answers save thousands by preventing features nobody needs.
Step 2: Specification and design (UX/UI)
Map the screens and user flow, then design them. Good design isn't just pretty — it guides the user to action intuitively.
Step 3: Choose a technology
Native means separate builds per platform (Swift, Kotlin) — maximum performance, double the cost. Cross-platform (React Native) is one codebase for both — faster and cheaper, and right for most apps.
Step 4: Development and launch
Development runs in weekly sprints so you see progress and give feedback throughout. We then handle submission and approval on the App Store and Google Play. Curious about cost? See how much it costs to build an app.
