Native & Cross-Platform Mobile Apps

We design, build and ship mobile apps that people keep on their home screen. Depending on what your product needs, we build natively for each platform or from a single cross-platform codebase.

Native apps give you the best performance and full access to device features. Cross-platform apps let you reach iOS and Android at once, with lower build and maintenance costs.

Native

Built for one platform, tuned for it

  • Swift
  • Kotlin
  • Objective-C
  • Java

Expertise across platforms

Separate iOS and Android apps, each tuned to perform on its own devices.

High performance

Faster, more responsive apps than most cross-platform builds can manage.

Full device access

Direct use of camera, GPS and sensors for richer functionality.

Platform-true UI

Interfaces that follow Apple and Google design guidelines.

Cross-platform

One codebase, every platform

  • React Native
  • Flutter

Build once, ship everywhere

One codebase runs on iOS and Android, saving time and budget.

Lower cost

A single codebase is cheaper to build and maintain than two native apps.

Rapid iteration

Updates go out to every platform at the same time.

Responsive layouts

Apps adapt to every screen size and orientation.

Questions we hear often

What is native mobile app development?

Building an app specifically for one platform with its own tools and APIs: Swift or Objective-C for iOS, Kotlin or Java for Android.

Should I go native or cross-platform?

Native gives the best performance and the deepest device integration. Cross-platform gives faster delivery and lower cost from one codebase. Modern frameworks get close to native performance for most apps, so we recommend based on what your product actually needs.

Can the same code run on iOS and Android with native development?

No. Native development needs a separate codebase per platform. The interface and experience can still be designed to match across both.

Do cross-platform apps get access to all device features?

Most device features are available through plugins and APIs. Some advanced or platform-specific features need extra native work.

Can the UI stay consistent across platforms?

Yes. Shared component libraries keep the experience consistent, with small adjustments where each platform’s guidelines differ.
