Mobile App Development
Mobile app development from scope to secure release
Plan the app, the API and the cloud behind it, with security and store release built in.
Do we need a mobile app or a web app?
If users need offline access, device features such as the camera or push notifications, or open the service many times a week, a mobile app may be worth it. Otherwise a fast mobile-friendly web app is cheaper to build and maintain. Internal tools can often start on AppSheet or Power Apps.
What does a mobile app project cover?
- Feature scope and user journeys
- Cross-platform or native approach
- API design, authentication and session security
- Cloud backend, database and file storage
- Payments, notifications and analytics
- Testing, app store release and update plan
How do you protect app users and their data?
We design for the OWASP Mobile Top 10 risks: secure storage on the device, strong authentication, encrypted traffic, a hardened API with rate limiting, and minimal personal data collection in line with the Data Privacy Act.

Frequently asked questions
Can you build for both iOS and Android?
Yes. Cross-platform frameworks let one codebase serve both stores for most business apps. We recommend native development only when performance or device features require it.
Who owns the app store accounts?
Your organisation. Apple and Google developer accounts are registered to you, and we publish through delegated access.
Can the app take GCash or Maya payments?
Yes, through payment gateways such as Xendit, Maya and Stripe, designed so card and wallet data never touches your own servers.
