App Development in Birmingham: iOS & Android Apps Built for Real Users

We design and build mobile apps for iOS and Android from our studio in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. Cross-platform or fully native, depending on what your project really needs. Clean design, solid code and an experience people actually come back to. App projects start from £2,000, and the source code is yours.

Why Curious House

We build our own apps too

TradePact, our AI quoting app for UK tradespeople, went from research to a live MVP in four months. We know what it takes to ship a real product, because we've done it with our own money.

Built for the people using it

We design for real users on real devices: clear interfaces, smooth performance and flows that match how people actually think.

We handle the store submission

App Store and Google Play reviews can be painful. We manage the whole process and sort out any compliance issues along the way.

You own everything

All source code and assets are yours on delivery. No lock-in, no ongoing licence fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose native or cross-platform?

For most businesses, cross-platform is the right choice: one codebase, lower cost and a faster launch. If your app needs something only native can deliver, we'll tell you up front.

How long does an app project take?

Most app projects take 4 to 8 weeks for an MVP, built in sprints with regular updates. More complex apps take longer, and we'll give you an honest timeline before we start.

Do you help with App Store rejection?

Yes. We handle the full submission and deal with any compliance issues. Rejection is rare when the submission is done properly from the start.

Can you build the backend and admin panel too?

Yes. Databases, APIs, user management and admin dashboards are all part of what we build.

Do I own the app and source code?

100%. All source code and assets are yours on delivery.
