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.

Backend, login & push

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.
  • You have an app idea and are looking for a partner to handle concept, development and store publishing.
  • Your existing app is no longer maintained, crashes or no longer runs cleanly on new devices.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 Essen

Yes. We work with companies from Essen – remotely and on site when needed. You install test builds of your app directly on your own smartphone in Essen, 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 Essen to a beta test. Their feedback goes into the app before the official launch.

We usually answer inquiries from Essen 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.

Depending on scope, a first version with the most important features can be in the store within a few months. Add to that the review by Apple and Google, which can bring follow-up questions. You will receive a reliable schedule after the initial consultation.

We recommend publishing the app through your company's own developer account with Apple and Google. That way the store listing, reviews and user base stay with you permanently. We help you set up the accounts.

The biggest lever is a clearly limited feature scope for the first version: anything not strictly necessary follows later on the basis of real user data. Cross-platform development saves additional effort, and sometimes a progressive web app without a store is the more economical entry point. We advise you openly on this in the free initial consultation.

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