Mobile App Development
Most apps fail after launch, not during it — we build for the phone in your customer's hand and stay through the updates that follow.
Most people arrive at this page in one of three situations. You have an idea and no reliable way to judge what it should cost, because the quotes you have received are far apart and none of them explains why. You have an app already, and it works, but it has not been updated in a year, the last developer is gone, and something now breaks whenever iOS or Android changes. Or you launched, and the honest problem is that people install it and never open it again.
Those are different problems, and they have one thing in common: the app was treated as a delivery rather than a product. An app is not finished at launch. That is the point where the operating systems keep moving, the store policies keep changing, and your users start telling you what they actually wanted.
What we actually do
We start by narrowing the app to what earns its place on a home screen. Most first versions are too big, which makes them slow to launch, expensive to build and hard to learn from. We help you decide what belongs in version one and what should wait until real users have told you something.
Choosing the platform honestly
React Native covers most business apps well and lets one codebase serve iOS and Android, which usually means a shorter build and cheaper maintenance. Fully native makes sense when the app depends heavily on device features, heavy graphics or platform-specific behaviour. We will explain which one your case calls for and why, including the cost of the choice — not default to whichever is more billable.
Design before code
You review the screens and flows as a clickable prototype before development starts. It is much cheaper to move a button in a prototype than to rebuild a screen, and it means the app you approve is the app you get.
Building in the open
Development runs in short cycles with a test build you can install on your own phone throughout — not just at the end. You use it the way your customers will, on your own network, with your own data.
What you get
- Apps built for iOS and Android, tested across a range of real devices, screen sizes and OS versions
- The backend and API behind the app, with admin access in accounts you own
- Complete source code and design files, in repositories under your name
- App Store and Google Play submission handled end to end, including store assets and review responses, published under your own developer accounts
- Analytics and crash reporting configured, so you can see adoption and failures instead of guessing
- An agreed support window after launch, and an option to continue it
Why Netronsoft
You deal with the engineers building the app. Questions about scope, cost or a technical tradeoff get answered by the person who will live with the consequences.
Apps and their content can be delivered in Arabic and English with proper right-to-left layouts — not an English app with translated strings dropped in.
Your developer accounts, your code, your data. If you move to another team later, everything they need to continue is already in your hands.
We stay after launch because that is when apps actually break. New OS versions, expiring certificates, changing store requirements and shifting third-party APIs are routine maintenance, and a plan for them is part of the conversation from the start rather than an emergency later.
Questions people ask before they call
How much does an app cost? The range is genuinely wide, because a focused first version and a product with accounts, payments, notifications and an admin backend are different pieces of work. We scope before quoting, and the quote is broken into phases so you can start smaller and expand once the app is earning its place. If your budget and your ambition do not match, we will tell you early rather than halfway through.
How long until it is live? A focused first version is typically a few months from kickoff to store approval, and store review itself adds days rather than weeks in normal cases. You get a schedule after scoping.
We already have an app. Can you take it over? Often yes. We review the existing code and tell you honestly whether it is worth continuing or whether the maintenance cost of a fragile codebase will exceed a rebuild. Both answers happen, and we will show you the reasoning.
Do we need both iOS and Android? Usually yes for a customer app, and cross-platform is how that stays affordable. For an internal tool it is sometimes worth starting with only the platform your staff actually carry.
Who owns the app and the store listings? You do, including the developer accounts. We register or publish under your name so you never have to ask us for access to your own product.
Let's talk it through
Tell us what the app is meant to do and who is meant to use it — a few sentences is enough to start. We will come back with the questions that matter, an honest view of scope, and where we would draw the line for a first version.

What's included
Benefits
An app that feels native on both stores
Users get the speed and behaviour they expect on iOS and Android, so the app is judged on what it does rather than how it stutters.
Screens you approve before they are built
You try a clickable prototype first, so changes cost minutes instead of weeks and the app you sign off is the app you receive.
A backend ready for the second thousand users
The API and infrastructure are built for real usage and real data growth, so success does not turn into your first outage.
Store submission handled for you
We prepare the listings, assets and review responses under your own developer accounts, so a rejection is our problem to solve, not your delay.
Still working after the next OS update
Monitoring, patches and compatibility updates keep the app alive through platform changes instead of quietly breaking months later.
The platform choice that fits your budget
We recommend React Native or fully native based on what your product needs, and show you the cost and maintenance implications of each.
Our process
How we work
Discovery and scoping
We define who the app is for, what it must do first, and which platforms it needs — then help you cut version one down to what will actually teach you something.
UX and UI design
Screens and flows designed in your brand and reviewed as a clickable prototype you can tap through, in Arabic and English where needed.
Development
Short build cycles with a test version installed on your own phone throughout, so you are using the app long before your customers do.
Testing across devices
Real phones, different screen sizes and older OS versions, plus performance and crash testing — so problems surface here rather than in your store reviews.
Store launch and support
We handle App Store and Google Play submission under your accounts, respond to review feedback, then monitor and maintain the app after release.
Frequently asked questions
Widely, depending on scope — a focused first version costs a fraction of a full product with accounts, payments, notifications and an admin backend. We scope before quoting and split the estimate into phases so you can start smaller and expand once the app proves itself. If the budget and the ambition do not line up, we will say so at the start rather than halfway through.
React Native covers most business apps well, serves iOS and Android from one codebase, and usually means a shorter build and lower maintenance. Fully native is worth it when the app leans heavily on device features, heavy graphics or platform-specific behaviour. We will tell you which your case calls for and what each choice costs you over time.
A focused first version usually runs a few months from kickoff to store approval, with design and testing taking a meaningful share of that. Store review itself is normally a matter of days. You get a milestone schedule after scoping, and a test build on your phone long before launch day.
Often yes. We review the existing code, dependencies and infrastructure first, then tell you honestly whether continuing is the cheaper path or whether maintaining a fragile codebase will cost more than rebuilding. Both answers are real outcomes, and we will show you the reasoning rather than just the recommendation.
We do, under an agreed support plan covering monitoring, crash fixes, certificate renewals and compatibility updates as new OS versions ship. This is discussed and priced before the project starts, so maintenance is a known line rather than a surprise call in six months. You can also take it in-house and we will hand over everything needed.
Yes, end to end — developer account setup, store listings, screenshots, privacy declarations, and responses if a store asks for changes. We publish under accounts registered in your name, so the listings and the app remain yours regardless of who maintains them later.
Yes — in-app payments and local gateways, push notifications, authentication, maps, chat, offline mode and Arabic right-to-left interfaces are all regular work. Tell us what you need and we will flag anything that carries a store policy or regulatory condition before it is built, not after.
Yes — source code, design files, backend and the developer accounts on both stores. Nothing is licensed back to you and nothing sits in an account you cannot reach. If you decide to work with another team later, they can pick up from documentation we hand over.
