Typical use cases in Heidelberg

Heidelberg is shaped by Germany's oldest university, a large university hospital and internationally renowned research institutions such as the German Cancer Research Center and EMBL. This has given rise to a strong life science and biotech focus, complemented by software and service companies in the Bahnstadt district and the surrounding area. The Old Town and the castle also make the city one of Germany's best-known travel destinations.

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  • Your existing app is no longer maintained, crashes or no longer runs cleanly on new devices.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

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

We usually answer inquiries from Heidelberg 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.

After the free initial consultation we define the feature scope of the first version, design a prototype and develop in stages with test builds on your device. After that we handle the store submission and continue to support the app after launch.

Apple and Google release new operating system versions every year, which may require adaptations. We take care of updates, error analysis and new features – predictably under a maintenance contract if you wish.

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 Baden-Württemberg, contacts include L-Bank and IHK Rhein-Neckar; nationwide, the federal funding database provides an overview. We provide a clear project description and a quote you can use for your application.
