Mobile App Development

Mobile App Development

Native-fast mobile apps your users keep opening.

We focus on developing custom and premium mobile applications that fit your business requirements with hybrid & native technology.

Why leading companies choose us

What you get that a generic mobile app development vendor does not.

Cross-platform where it fits, native where it does not

We tell you which one your app needs and why, before the estimate.

Store submission handled

Review guidelines, privacy declarations and release management are our problem, not a surprise at the end.

Designed for the offline case

Connectivity fails. The apps we ship queue, retry and reconcile rather than showing an error and losing the work.

Real device testing

Tested on the handsets and OS versions your users actually carry, including the older ones.

Analytics wired before launch

You will know what people do in the app from the first week, not after a later instrumentation project.

A build you can hand to another team

Documented, conventional and free of the framework tricks that make handover expensive.

How we build

Mobile App Development built on foundations that hold

One codebase where it earns its keep

React Native covers the majority of business apps at roughly half the cost of two native teams.

Native modules when required

Camera, Bluetooth, background location and secure storage get native implementations rather than fragile shims.

Release engineering

Signed builds, staged rollouts and over-the-air updates for the changes that do not need a store review.

Performance on mid-range hardware

Budgeted against the devices most of your users own, not the flagship on the developer's desk.

What you get

  • Cross-platform app development with React Native or Flutter — single codebase, budget-friendly, faster development
  • Native Android app development in Java or Kotlin with top-grade UI/UX and better performance
  • Native iOS app development in Swift or Objective-C, consistent across the Apple ecosystem
  • UI/UX design, QA, and backend development for mobile, plus flexible post-launch support and maintenance
  • Cloud-based deployment and integration with reliable, scalable infrastructure

Custom mobile app development for you

The capability most clients come to us for, and the work that surrounds it.

Our flagship capability

React Native app development services

One codebase, both stores, and a team that knows where React Native stops being the right answer. We ship the shared 90% cross-platform and drop to native for the parts that genuinely need it.

Key features

  • iOS and Android from one codebase
  • Native modules where performance demands it
  • Over-the-air updates for fast fixes
  • Offline-first data layer
  • Store submission and release management

01

MVP development services

The smallest honest version of the product, in users' hands fast enough to learn something before the budget is gone.

02

iOS and Android native

When the app depends on platform capability that cross-platform cannot reach cleanly.

03

App modernisation

Taking over an ageing app, updating the toolchain, and getting releases moving again.

04

Backend and API for mobile

The services behind the app, designed for intermittent connectivity and battery-conscious sync.

How we work

Every stage, and what it produces

The same nine stages on every engagement. What changes is what each one has to answer for mobile app development.

  1. Business evaluation

    01

    What the app has to do for the business, and whether it needs to be an app at all.

  2. Information gathering

    02

    Existing systems, data sources and the constraints of the stores you will publish to.

  3. Consultation

    03

    A scoping session that decides cross-platform or native, with the reasoning written down.

  4. Designing the UI

    04

    Screens designed against each platform's conventions rather than one layout forced onto both.

  5. User experience

    05

    Flows tested on real handsets, including the slow network and offline cases.

  6. Tech inspection

    06

    A review of your current app, APIs and analytics before we replace any of it.

  7. Development

    07

    Two-week increments with installable builds you can put on a real phone.

  8. QA and testing

    08

    Device-matrix testing plus store pre-submission checks before anything is queued.

  9. Support and care

    09

    Store credentials, signing keys, runbooks and a support window after launch.

Everything we hand over at the end is listed on the handoff page.

Client reviews

What our clients are saying

Reviews from clients we have delivered for.

  • It is always a challenge to work with outsourced resources, and even so, Alian exceeded my expectations.
    Avi Landy
  • Alian Software development work is excellent, our clients are happy, and we continue to lean on them more as they get more integrated with our company.
    Scott Lawrence
  • They are incredibly helpful and adaptable, and always create something that leaves our clients satisfied.
    Meghan Kennedy
  • They were extremely patient with adjustments and changes on our side.
    Brad Davies
  • I don't even know if I'd be where I am today without them because they really brought my vision to life.
    Shreen Ghaleb

Got questions? We have answers.

  • Cross-platform (React Native or Flutter) covers 90% of use cases at lower cost and faster delivery. Go native only if you need heavy device-level integration — AR, custom camera pipelines, or Bluetooth hardware.
