Choosing
Should you choose cross-platform or native development?
For an app built around accounts, forms, bookings, payments or content, a cross-platform approach lets you share most of the code between iOS and Android. React Native uses JavaScript or TypeScript and renders each platform’s own interface components. Web developers can contribute, and an existing React website can share some logic with the app. We generally recommend React Native for this kind of work and use native modules where needed.
Flutter is another cross-platform option. It uses Dart and draws its own interface, which suits a heavily branded design when you want screens to look identical across platforms. Your team also needs to be comfortable working in Dart. Native development uses Swift for iPhone and Kotlin for Android; it fits apps with deep device features, heavy graphics or complex background work, but leaves you with separate codebases to build and maintain. We help you choose by looking at the device features the app needs.
Local
What Bath businesses need from an app
Bath has retail shops, restaurants and cafés supported by visitors. For a shop or restaurant with repeat customers, an app could give people a way to reorder, use loyalty benefits and save payment details. The checkout needs to be quick, and notifications need a clear purpose. We set up a sending service, rules for who receives each message and in-app settings for switching notification categories off.
The city also has software and service-oriented industries. If your customers already use your web platform frequently, an app can give them access to the same accounts and data on their phones. We can build a shared backend for the app, website and admin tools, so your staff have one place to work with that information.
How it runs
How an app project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is 5h30m ahead of the UK, or 4h30m ahead during British Summer Time; the shared board gives you a place to follow decisions and progress across that difference.
- 01
Discover
Tell us about your business, audience and goals. We agree the scope with you before moving into design.
- 02
Design
We prepare iOS and Android screens and refine them with your feedback before writing code.
- 03
Test the prototype
Put the clickable screens in front of a few customers or staff. Their feedback gives you a chance to change a screen before it has been built.
- 04
Build and test
The same team handles design, development and launch. We build the agreed product and test it on real devices and browsers.
- 05
Submit
We prepare the App Store and Google Play listings and handle submission and release.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Bring the following so we can discuss the scope and store submission.
- A short list of the tasks users need in the first release, in the order they will do them.
- Company developer accounts for Apple and Google; organisation accounts need a D-U-N-S number for verification.
- A privacy policy that matches the data the app collects, ready to link inside the app and in its Apple listing.
- A plan for the required closed test if you intend to use a new personal Google Play developer account.
- A working demo account and live backend for Apple submission if the app has a login.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and time of app development
The amount of work depends on the flows, systems and features in your scope.
User roles
Customers, drivers and staff each need their own screens and permissions, even when they share a backend.
Existing systems
A documented API can reduce the work; a new backend and admin panel add substantial build work.
Integrations
A payment gateway, booking system or scanner each needs setup, testing and handling for failures.
Live features
Tracking or chat needs persistent connections and more backend work than screens that load data on request.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Bath
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to have an app developed?
There is no fixed price: the scope determines the work. Offline editing and later syncing need more work than showing the last loaded data, while user-generated content needs moderation tools. Payment requirements also change with what you sell. We would agree the scope with you before setting out the work.
How do I choose an app developer?
Ask how the developer will make the app useful on a phone and test its main task with users. A repackaged website risks rejection by Apple and gives people little reason to install it. Also discuss what visitors can do before signing up, particularly if the app has few account-based features.
What is included beyond the app screens?
An app commonly needs a backend and an admin panel as well as the screens on the phone. We can build a shared backend for your app, website and admin tools. The admin panel gives staff a place to edit content, look up customers, issue refunds and block abusive accounts.
Will I own the app code and store accounts?
You own your code, content and domain, with no lock-in. We handle store listings, submission and review under your own developer accounts. That gives you control of the accounts used for publication as well as ownership of the code and content used in the product.
What happens after the app launches?
We provide ongoing support for bug fixes, operating-system updates and new features. Plan maintenance releases for Android, since Google Play requires apps and updates to target a recent Android API level. You can also review retention, drop-off in the main task and the crash-free rate to assess how people use each release.
