Mobile apps
We design and build apps for iPhone and Android, tablets, smartwatches and TV: to sell, to help your team work better or to offer your customers a service. When a well-built website is enough, we tell you straight.
The right choice first
Not every app has to go through a store. We choose the technology once we understand who will use it and what it has to do.
Installable web app
No store to go through: a link is all it takes. Suited to internal tools, entry gates, tills and services people use in passing.
Cross-platform
The choice for most apps headed for the stores: notifications, camera, payments and face or fingerprint login, with reasonable timescales and costs.
Native
For when performance, the latest system features, smartwatches, TV, widgets and deep integration with the device matter.
What we build
We start from what is done badly or by hand today: a customer who doesn't come back, a paper form, one phone call too many.
Your shop in your best customers' pockets: catalogue, basket and checkout connected to your Shopify or WooCommerce store, notifications when something new arrives or a size is back, and a loyalty scheme with points and rewards to check in the app.
Sales rep orders, stocktaking with the camera as a scanner, site visits with photos and signatures, clocking in and internal requests. It works where there's no signal too and syncs when you're back online.
Bookings, tickets, membership cards, a private area with documents and payments: the relationship with your customers carries on after the first purchase, without going through the switchboard.
QR codes and barcodes, NFC for cards and entry, Bluetooth for scales, printers and sensors, location for deliveries and field work.
An assistant that answers from your own content, product and document recognition through the camera, voice dictation. Where the data is sensitive, processing can stay on the device or on your server.
Cards and digital wallets for selling physical products, in-app purchases and subscriptions for digital content and services, following each store's rules.
Beyond the phone
The watch is for a quick gesture, the TV for watching, the tablet for working at the counter. We design for each one instead of shrinking or stretching the same app.
Apple Watch and Wear OS
Apple TV, Android TV and Google TV
iPad and Android tablets
Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, widgets
In every app
An app that is installed and then forgotten is a cost. These are the features that give people a reason to open it again.
By user group and behaviour, scheduled and measured: a few relevant ones instead of many ignored ones.
In within a second, with no password to remember.
The data it needs stays on the device, and actions go through as soon as the connection is back.
A link in an email or a QR code opens the app straight on the right screen.
Screen readers, larger text, contrast and the system's voice control respected, just as on the web.
Text, currencies and dates for every market, in the languages your audience needs.
Permissions requested only when needed, and usage analytics that don't track people beyond what's necessary.
Experience we already have
Working offline, notifications, store builds and connections to online shops are problems we have already tackled in our own products and in those of our partner eShoopy.
Ours
The QR scanner for the entrance installs like an app and works offline too, with an alert if the same ticket is scanned on two devices. The box-office till runs on a tablet.
With our partner eShoopy · coming soon
Apps for Shopify and WooCommerce shops in the brand's colours, push notifications for iPhone and Android, store builds prepared automatically and a console to manage it all.
With our partner eShoopy
An app for families caring for an elderly parent: expenses, rotas, medication and documents shared between siblings. On Google Play and the web.
How we work
Five steps, each with a result you can see and try. The next step is decided by looking at the one just finished.
01
We work out who will use the app, when and for what. If a well-built website is enough, we tell you before we start.
02
Clickable screens to try on your phone before any code is written: changes are made while they still cost little.
03
A first version with the essential features, tested on real phones with installable test builds.
04
We prepare listings, images and copy for the App Store and Google Play and see the app through store review.
05
Updates for new versions of iOS and Android, new features and privacy-friendly usage analytics.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on how often your customers or your team would use it. For an occasional purchase, a fast website is enough and makes more sense. An app is worth it when people need to come back often, receive notifications, work offline or use the camera, NFC and Bluetooth.
Cross-platform uses a single codebase for iPhone and Android and suits most projects. Native is needed when performance, the latest system features, smartwatches or TV matter most. Often the right answer combines the two.
We prepare everything needed and handle the App Store and Google Play review. We open the developer accounts with you and agree together how to manage them.
It's designed to: the data it needs stays on the phone, and anything done offline goes through as soon as the connection is back.
Yes. We usually start with the phone and add the watch and TV where they bring something extra: a confirmation from the wrist, a catalogue on the big screen.
Yes, through the integrations the system provides. If there aren't any, we write them.
