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.
Mobile app development in Birmingham and the West Midlands
We are app developers based in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. We design and build iOS and Android apps — cross-platform in React Native or Flutter, or native Swift and Kotlin when the product demands it.
Whether you are searching for app development Birmingham, mobile app development Birmingham or app developers Birmingham, the outcome is the same: a focused MVP or full product with clean UX, solid code and store submission handled properly.
From prototype to App Store
We start with user journeys and a clickable prototype so you can test flows before engineering spend ramps up. Development runs in short sprints with test builds on your phone throughout.
We handle Apple App Store and Google Play submission, privacy labels and the compliance questions that trip up first-time publishers. You receive full source code and documentation on delivery.
Apps we have shipped ourselves
TradePact is our own AI quoting and job management product for UK tradespeople — research, brand, UX and engineering from our studio. That is the same team you get on client work.

Tell us what you are building and we will be straight about native vs cross-platform, timeline and price band.

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.
