App Development

Process-driven design, development and delivery of stunning mobile apps

We design and develop complete mobile solutions on every major platform: native apps for iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets, plus web apps where they make more sense.

We also build the server-side APIs and content systems your app needs, and integrate apps with your existing business systems. We work natively in Xcode and Android Studio, or cross-platform where that gives you better value.

Code Reviews & App Audits

Independent, 360-degree visibility of your app's quality

When an app is underperforming, getting poor reviews, or you want an independent view of a developer's work, a code review gives you the strategic visibility you need. We've been called in for many quality reviews and have developed our own framework with a 360-degree scoring system.

You get a specialised report and recommendations showing how your app and code rate across every aspect, so you can address quality issues with confidence.

Reasons to commission a code review

  • You're buying an existing app
  • Your app is underperforming
  • Your app is getting poor reviews
  • You've lost confidence in your developer
  • The app has quality problems
  • It's outdated and not being maintained

Our framework combines manual code inspection, interviews with developers, project managers and the wider team, a process assessment, automated code analysis, a grading and scoring system, a written report and a presentation of findings.

Micro Apps

The fast, low-cost way to put better tools in your team's hands

Micro apps are the quickest and lowest-cost way to develop and distribute quality internal tools to your workforce. From digitising paper forms to transforming whole workflows, they're small, focused apps that can do just about anything you need.

Users get straight to the task they need, in an interface tailored to their role, their workflow and the devices they actually use.

A few examples

  • Competitor analysis
  • Cafeteria menus
  • Employee feedback
  • Leave requests
  • Survey forms
  • Customer feedback
  • Product sheets
  • HR forms

App Design

Function first, then the moments of delight

Apps rarely fail because they aren't pretty enough, so we prioritise function over form. That's not to say your app won't look and feel great. It will. We get the critical things right first and add the moments of delight after.

Expect to see evolving sketches and design ideas throughout the development of your product.
