What you get
What’s included in mobile app development
App design
Screens and flows designed for iOS and Android conventions.
Cross-platform build
One React Native codebase for both platforms, with native modules where needed.
Backend & APIs
Accounts, data, notifications and admin tools behind the app.
Push notifications
Timely, targeted notifications that bring people back.
Payments & subscriptions
In-app purchases and subscriptions on both stores.
Store launch
App Store and Google Play listings, submission and release.
Tools we use: React Native, Expo, Swift, Kotlin, Firebase, Node.js.
Choosing
Should you choose cross-platform or native development?
For an app built around accounts, forms, lists, maps, bookings, payments or content, cross-platform development is a practical starting point. We usually use React Native, sharing a codebase across iOS and Android and adding native modules where a feature needs them. It renders each platform’s own interface components. React Native uses JavaScript or TypeScript, so web developers can contribute, and some logic can be shared with a React web app.
Native development uses Swift for iPhone and Kotlin for Android. It suits an app built around deep device features, heavy graphics, complex background work or new platform features at launch. The trade-off is maintaining separate codebases for the platforms. Choosing the approach starts with the tasks and device features your app needs: a booking flow and an app with complex background work place different demands on the build. We go native when those deeper device requirements call for it.

What Oxford organisations need from an app
Oxford has startups including Passle, Brainomix and Labstep. If you are launching a consumer or marketplace product, the first release needs coverage on both app stores and analytics that show whether people come back. That gives you a clearer view of how the product is used after installation, as well as a way to reach people on iOS and Android.
Oxford is also home to the University of Oxford, Oxford Brookes University and Ruskin College. If your organisation already runs a web platform that people use frequently, an app can give those users another way to access it. We can connect the app, website and admin tools to a shared backend, keeping accounts and data in one place.
How it runs
How an app project runs with us
We are a studio in India and work remotely through video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. IST is 5h30m ahead of the UK, or 4h30m during British Summer Time. The shared board keeps project work visible across that time difference, while calls and messages give you direct ways to discuss it.
- 01
Design
We design the iOS and Android screens and refine them with your feedback before writing code. You can check the flows while changes are still confined to the designs.
- 02
Prototype
Put the clickable prototype in front of a few customers or staff. Their feedback gives you a chance to change a screen before it has been built.
- 03
Measure
We include analytics and crash reporting in the first release, so you can see which screens people use, where they give up and which devices crash.
- 04
Prepare submission
If your app has a login, provide a working demo account and make sure the backend is live. Leave room in launch plans for fixes and resubmission.
- 05
Plan updates
JavaScript and content fixes can use an over-the-air update tool. Changes to native code or permissions still need a store release, so we plan the appropriate route for each change.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Start registering your Apple and Google developer accounts in your company’s name; organisation accounts need a D-U-N-S number for verification.
- List the tasks people must complete in the first release, in the order they would do them.
- Check the closed-testing requirement if you plan to use a new personal Google Play developer account.
- Prepare a privacy policy that matches what the app collects; Apple requires links in the listing and the app.
- Decide how account deletion should work if people can create accounts inside the app.
- Identify analytics or advertising SDKs you want included, so their data collection is covered in the store privacy answers.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline
Custom animation, extra languages and tablet layouts add design and testing work across screens.
User roles
Customers, drivers and staff each need their own screens and permissions, even when they share a backend.
Integrations
A payment gateway, booking system or scanner adds setup, testing and work to handle failures.
Live features
Tracking, chat and presence need persistent connections and more backend work than screens that load data on request.
Notifications
We set up a sending service, rules for who receives each message and when, and settings for switching off unwanted categories.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Oxford
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to develop an app?
There is no fixed price. Two significant drivers are the level of offline working you need and whether an existing backend has a documented API. Showing previously loaded data offline is more modest work than creating and editing records without a signal, then syncing changes and handling conflicts.
How should I choose an app development company?
Choose a team that examines what people will do in the app and how they will get value from it. Ask how it would handle access before sign-up and what the app offers beyond your website: a repackaged website risks rejection and gives people little reason to install it.
What is included in an app development project?
The work can include the app, a backend and an admin panel for your staff. We can build a shared backend for the app, website and admin tools. An admin panel gives staff a place to edit content, look up customers, issue refunds and block abusive accounts.
Who owns the app and developer accounts?
You own your code, content and domain, with no lock-in. We handle the store listings, submission and review under your own developer accounts. That gives you control of the accounts used to publish the app as well as ownership of the code we build.
What support does an app need after launch?
Plan for ongoing support, including bug fixes, operating-system updates and new features. Google Play requires apps and updates to target a recent Android API level. Track where users drop out of the main task and the crash-free rate, alongside how many people return after installing.
