Scope of services

Our services around Mobile app development

App concept & feature scope

We define target group, core features and a first version (MVP) that gets into the store quickly and delivers real user feedback.

UI & UX design

Together with LOMA DESIGN we create screens and clickable prototypes that follow the interaction patterns of iOS and Android.

Cross-platform or native development

React Native, Flutter or native with Swift and Kotlin – depending on what device features and performance your app needs.

User accounts, data synchronization, push notifications and interfaces to your existing systems.

Store publishing

We prepare store listings, screenshots and privacy information and support you through review by Apple and Google.

Updates & maintenance

Adaptations to new operating system versions, bug fixing, crash analysis and new features after launch.

When Mobile app development is worth it

  • You want customers to be able to order, book or retrieve information without first opening a website.
  • Field employees still work with paper forms and transfer data into the system in the evening.
  • You need features such as camera, GPS, push notifications or offline mode that a website offers only to a limited extent.

  • Your existing app is no longer maintained, crashes or no longer runs cleanly on new devices.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Mobile app development in Dortmund

Yes. We work with companies from Dortmund – remotely and on site when needed. You install test builds of your app directly on your own smartphone in Dortmund, so you can try out every step of progress yourself.

Yes. Through TestFlight and the testing features of the Google Play Console, we invite selected employees or customers from Dortmund to a beta test. Their feedback goes into the app before the official launch.

We usually answer inquiries from Dortmund within 24 hours. In the free initial consultation we discuss idea, target group and feature scope and give you a first assessment of the approach and the right package.

That depends on features, platforms and backend. We usually build native or cross-platform apps with user accounts, database and interfaces in the Professional package from €8,000. A simple web app as an entry point is possible in the Starter package from €2,500; extensive app platforms are quoted individually in the Enterprise package.

For many business apps, cross-platform with React Native or Flutter is more economical because one codebase serves both platforms. Native development with Swift and Kotlin pays off for very high performance requirements or special device features. We recommend the route after analyzing your requirements.

Yes. Employee apps bundle things like jobs, photo documentation, time tracking or internal information and are connected to your existing systems. An example from our practice is an app for service technicians that also works without a network and syncs data later.

Funding programs for digitalization change regularly. In North Rhine-Westphalia, contacts include NRW.BANK and IHK zu Dortmund; nationwide, the federal funding database provides an overview. We provide a clear project description and a quote you can use for your application.
