Mobile App Development Company for iOS & Android Apps
For the past 14 years, we’ve been a mobile app development company that builds iOS and Android apps that work with complicated needs, changing roadmaps, and real users. We’ve done this in real products, not just pitch decks. When clients say, “It mostly works, except for this one weird thing,” our mobile app developers don’t panic. We’ve fixed faulty MVPs, rebuilt apps that couldn’t handle more users, and made features for edge scenarios that most people don’t think about until launch day.
Some clients provide us with wireframes, while others send us screenshots, voice notes, or a problem they can’t fully define yet. That’s okay. We care about things like performance issues, OS updates, how things work when you’re not connected to the internet, third-party API problems, and the little UX choices that make users stay or leave. We prioritize stability over rushed deadlines and resilience over theoretical perfection.
If you want a mobile application development company that feels more like a long-term partner than a vendor, let’s discuss. Let us know what you’re trying to make, and we’ll help you figure out the rest.
Get In TouchWhat Makes Us Unique?
Our Comprehensive Mobile App Development Services
Native App Development
We make native apps when performance, reliability, and platform-specific polish are important, not just because it sounds cool. Because our team works deep within the iOS and Android ecosystems, problems like offline behavior, hardware access, and OS changes don’t catch us off guard at the last minute. We plan for things like how Apple Pay should work or how background processes should stay alive without using up batteries. We’ve worked with apps that need to grow from a few hundred users to millions without interrupting the main flows.
Cross-Platform App Development
There are instances when you don’t need two separate codebases; you just need one smart build that works everywhere without feeling compromised. When speed to market and long-term maintenance are really important, we use cross-platform frameworks. This is a great way for startups to test an idea or for enterprises to quickly roll out new internal tools. We pay attention to edge cases, such as motions that only work on one platform or strange things that happen at the OS level that most users notice right away.
Progressive Web App (PWA) Development
PWAs are helpful for users who don’t want to download more stuff to their phones. We make PWAs that load quickly, run without an internet connection, and feel more like an app than a website. This is great for businesses that want to reach new markets, those with slow internet connections, or people who need tools that are easy to use. We put a lot of emphasis on caching logic, installation prompts, and how people really use things. PWAs might quietly do better than native apps if your users keep coming back for minor tasks.
Hybrid App Development
We see hybrid apps as a useful middle ground, not as a tool to get things done faster. We use them when you want to be in the app store but also want upgrades to happen faster and share logic with online platforms. This is a good way to go for apps, dashboards, and MVPs that have a lot of material and need room to grow. We are careful with displays and animations that use a lot of processing power, because hybrid apps often have trouble if they are rushed. When made correctly, hybrid apps work well and feel seamless.
Enterprise Mobile App Development
Enterprise apps have to deal with real-world problems like old systems, rigorous permissions, different user roles, and no downtime. We make these apps with the idea that people will use them for a long time, not only on launch day. We think about scale and security early on, whether it’s for managing employees, reporting to the company, or portals for customers. We also consider adoption, because an app that no one wants to use is still a failure.
App Maintenance & Support
We don’t just disappear after an app is out; that’s just the beginning. We take care of OS updates, bug fixes, performance tweaking, and those times when you wonder, “Why did this suddenly break?” Sometimes it’s a little crash following an iOS upgrade, and other times it’s users acting in ways that aren’t expected. We stay involved so that problems don’t build up without anyone noticing. Regular checks and upgrades keep your app up to date and stable. You focus on growing, and we’ll take care of the rest.
API Development & Integration
APIs are the quiet backbone of most modern programs, and we make sure they are well taken care of. We build APIs that are simple to use, safe, and helpful for teams that come after us. Before we write any code, we make a plan for how the data will move. This is true whether you’re connecting payment gateways, CRMs, ERPs, or third-party services. We’ve used both outdated APIs that are hard to deal with and modern cloud services. We back up our work instead of letting the application crash when something goes wrong.
App UI/UX Design
It’s not about trends; it’s about making things easier to use. As an experienced mobile app development company, we make interfaces that are in line with your brand but still feel familiar. We don’t only make wireframes that look good in presentations; we also look at how real users behave. We consider how far a thumb can reach, loading states, error messages, and the little things that people remember. We revamp if users are unsure. The idea is to make things comfortable, clear, and easy to follow.
App Security & Compliance
Security is not an option, especially when it comes to user data. We don’t add encryption, secure authentication, and role-based access to our apps afterward; they’re built in from the start. We take compliance regulations into account early on if you work in a regulated industry, so that you don’t have to rework things later. We also look closely at how data is stored and who may access it from outside the company. Most breaches happen because people miss small information, not because of big intrusions.
App Performance Optimization
Even if everything else is perfect, slow apps lose users quickly. We make sure that load speeds, memory use, and background processes are as fast as possible on all devices. This means looking at how people really use it, not just lab experiments. We’ve made apps that don’t operate well on older phones, slow networks, and large amounts of data better. Sometimes the problem is with the building itself, and other times it’s a little loop that was missed.
App Migration & Modernization
You don’t always have to start again with old apps. We assist in moving old software to new operating systems, modern frameworks, or cloud-based architectures. This means getting rid of obsolete dependencies and rewriting code that is too fragile. We take care to keep current users and data safe during transitions. Modernization should not add danger; it should lower it. The result is an app that is easy to keep up with and ready for changes in the future.
App Testing & QA Services
We test apps the way real users break them: by tapping quickly, losing connection, switching apps in the middle of work, and doing things that no test script expects. As part of our QA process, we verify the functionality, usability, performance, and security. We test on a lot of different devices, operating systems, and screen sizes since edge cases are critical. Finding bugs early saves time later on. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about having faith. That trust shows up when people trust your app.
We Integrate the Emerging Technologies in Our Mobile App Solutions
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
In our mobile app development services, AI usually starts with a simple question: why are consumers lagging or being ignored? Sometimes it’s less typing, sometimes it’s a smarter search, and sometimes it’s help that isn’t planned. We make AI features that work in the background without needing any attention. We don’t put AI in the app just to check a box if it doesn’t provide any real value to people’s lives.
Machine Learning (ML)
Machine learning comes into play when an app has real users who do genuine, unexpected things. We utilize it to change flows, see trends early, and make better judgments over time without changing the core experience. Our strategy takes into account the fact that models need to be updated long after they are released, that people can change their behavior suddenly, and that data is sometimes missing.
Blockchain Technology
When blockchain addresses a problem, we deliberately and purposefully add it to the app’s core. This might mean transactions that don’t need blind confidence, secure data transfer, or documentation that can be checked. We’ve often stepped in to simplify overly complicated blockchain builds to what customers really need. We make sure not to introduce extra technical weight or make user flows too complicated.
Cloud Computing
Many of mobile apps that we make rely on cloud settings that can handle growth without generating problems. We get ready for things like uneven traffic, deployments late at night, and times when something goes wrong and needs to be corrected right away. The way people actually use the app, not the popular stack, affects our cloud decisions. The result is apps that stay stable, responsive, and cost-effective as they get bigger.
Innovative Mobile Apps, Tailored for You
Social Media Apps
We made social media apps for those who were tired of chasing fake figures and wanted to be truly involved. Sometimes that means fixing broken feeds, and other times it means cleaning up an algorithm that was poorly documented and is now a mess. We think about how to moderate things before a catastrophe happens. Yes, we do plan to grow, but only in a way that won’t make your app crash as soon as people start using it.
Messaging Apps
Messaging apps seem easy until messages come late, go missing, or sync differently on two phones that are next to each other. We’ve been through that anguish. We put reliability first: messages get through, encryption doesn’t slow things down, and things make sense when you’re not online. “Mostly works” isn’t good enough if your users are coordinating work, emergencies, or just everyday living.
E-commerce Apps
A lot of our e-commerce clients come to us because they lost sales due to the checkout process being too long or the product logic being too hard to understand. We look at the boring things like cart breakdowns, payment edge cases, and strange tax policies since that’s where money discreetly leaks out. We also build for real customers, not ideal ones that have amazing internet and never get bored.
Finance & Banking Apps
You need to trust finance apps, but that trust can go away quickly if your balances don’t update or your logins feel insecure. We keep legislation, security, and audit trails in mind when we create, but we don’t make the app too complicated. We also pay attention to how well things work on older devices, since not everyone updates every year. When money is at stake, reliability isn’t a feature; it’s the bare minimum.
Health & Fitness Apps
Health applications aren’t just dashboards; they are very close to people’s habits, bodies, and sometimes even their worries. We make sure that data is collected, saved, and displayed in a way that doesn’t confuse or overload people. We design for real human behavior, such as synchronizing wearables, dealing with lost days, and following privacy rules. Your app shouldn’t presume that progress is always the same.
Education & Learning Apps
When learning apps treat all users the same, they generally don’t work. We make things for people who have busy schedules, lose interest, and come back to learn later. It’s more important to have offline access, be able to restore progress, and have clear feedback than to have fancy animations. We design with the chaos of work, school, and life in mind for your users.
Entertainment & Streaming Apps
When streaming applications skip or give bad recommendations, they hurt your mood. We work on making sure that information is delivered smoothly on all devices, that caching is sensible, and that content discovery doesn’t feel forced. That sometimes requires fixing old systems that weren’t made to grow. The idea is simple: when your users press play, it functions without any problems.
Travel & Navigation Apps
Travel apps work in places with terrible networks, dead batteries, and places they don’t know. We develop with that in mind. Maps that still work, reservations that don’t disappear in the middle of a trip, and alerts that come at the proper time, not five minutes late. Your software should help people relax, not make them more nervous when they’re already worried about being on time.
Food & Delivery Apps
Food apps don’t last long when orders get messed up or tracking lies about delivery. We have dealt with edge circumstances, including drivers who are late, menu changes in the middle of the day, and payment retries that don’t charge users twice. Speed is important, but clarity is even more important. You’re already ahead of most if your app can manage a Friday night rush without crashing.

Our End-to-End Mobile Application Development Process
Step 1: Conceptualization and Research
A lot of the time, a project starts with a rough idea, a half-working program, or a terrible experience with a previous provider. That happens a lot. We take our time and listen before making any suggestions because that’s where things generally go awry. We look at how users really use apps that are comparable, not how pitch decks suggest they do. Edge situations are serious here, including offline people, those who have older devices, those who have trouble logging in, or have features that seem little but ruin the experience if not used. We poke holes in things early on in this phase so they don’t turn into costly shocks later.
Step 2: Planning and Strategy
Planning isn’t about making big documents that no one looks at after the first week. It’s about figuring out what needs to be built right now, what can wait, and what should never be created at all. If anything seems unsafe, too big, or not very strong, we’ll be honest about it. If you’ve ever been let down by missed deadlines or unclear timescales, this is usually where things go wrong. We use plain language to map out features, APIs, third-party tools, and failure scenarios so that everyone knows what’s being produced and what isn’t.
Step 3: UI/UX Design
For us, design isn’t just about making things look nice; it’s about solving problems with care. We think about people who have slow internet, fatigued fingers, or no tolerance for sophisticated animations. Instead of just “making it pretty,” we slow down a flow that seems complicated and correct it. Designers and developers work closely together, so nothing is designed that can’t be built. The idea is to make screens that are easy to use and don’t need instructions or surprise people in undesirable ways.
Step 4: Application Development
We write code that is easy to read and understand because other developers, including ourselves, will have to work with it. No quick fixes that only work in demos. We deal with real-world problems like payments that stop working, data that doesn’t sync up, OS version bugs, and devices that don’t always work the way you want them to. We share progress early and often, so you don’t see the app for the first time right before it comes out. We explain why something takes longer transparently and honestly.
Step 5: Testing and Quality Assurance
Testing isn’t just something we tick off at the end. We break things on purpose since genuine users will undoubtedly do the same. That includes testing on phones that are ancient, networks that aren’t stable, screen sizes that are strange, and workflows that no one anticipates. We care about the little things that go wrong, like buttons that aren’t lined up, error messages that don’t make sense, and slow load times. Those are the things that users remember. If you’ve launched before and spent weeks repairing errors that may have been avoided, you’ll see the difference here.
Step 6: Deployment and Release
It might be stressful to launch an app, especially if previous launches didn’t go as planned. We see release day as a planned event, not a chance. We take our time and do things right when it comes to store rules, build configurations, versioning, and rollback procedures. We stay close during the launch so we can quickly fix problems and not go away after the app is launched. It’s not enough to merely get approved; the goal is to make sure users have a good first experience.
Step 7: Maintenance and Continuous Improvement
An app still needs attention once it goes live; that’s when the real job begins. We help you with OS updates, user feedback that goes against what you thought, and things that looked fine on paper but don’t work in real life. Changes, fixes, and enhancements are made based on how people actually use the product, not predictions. We stay practical here by not pushing for changes that aren’t needed and not ignoring technological debt. Just consistent, trustworthy help that maintains the app helpful and dependable over time.

BashClients’ Success Stories
Client 1: Lauren Anderson
Director“Because of delayed video calls and dropped sessions, our telemedicine mobile app lost 30% of its repeat users. Next Olive redesigned the app’s real-time communication layer and made the server work better. They also made data security better so that it met healthcare compliance standards. Success rates for calls went up a lot in just two months. We noticed a 76% drop in calls that failed and a 44% rise in patient interaction, which raised overall satisfaction scores by 39%.””
Client 2: James Walker
Chief Technology Officer“Our fintech mobile app was having major performance problems, especially during peak transaction hours, when about 18% of transactions failed. The talented team at Next Olive changed the backend infrastructure and included robust load balancing. They also made the app’s user interface better so that it was easier to use and clearer. After deployment, the speed of processing transactions went up by 60%. Failures went down to less than 3%, and daily active users went up by 27%, which made customers trust the company more.”
Client 3: Ryan Collins
Founder & Product Lead“Users were unhappy with our fitness tracking mobile app because it didn’t sync data correctly and didn’t always work with wearables. Next Olive fixed problems with API synchronization and rewrote the integration layer for several devices. They also added performance metrics so that you can watch things happen in real time. The new version of the software came out in 7 weeks. Tracking accuracy went up by 52%, user churn went down by 33%, and subscription upgrades went up by 24%.”
Why Next Olive is an Ideal Choice For Your Next Mobile App Development Project?
Proven Expertise
We’ve been around long enough to realize that “experience” doesn’t mean how many apps you’ve made; it means how many you’ve saved from being broken. Apps with code that isn’t finished, requirements that aren’t clear, or features that were promised by someone who isn’t answering emails anymore. We’ve been in those situations more times than we can count. We know what breaks apps in the real world, and we plan for that from the start.
Client-First Approach
Many of our clients are tired when they come to us. Tired of looking for updates. Sick of nods that don’t lead to anything. We do things in a different way. We listen first, even if the idea isn’t fully developed or seems a little rough. We won’t use jargon to tell you that something won’t operate the way you think it will. We don’t want to impress you in the first week; we want to win your trust over the next six months.
On-Time & On-Budget Delivery
When it comes to marketing efforts, investor demos, or internal launches, deadlines are important. We make plans for projects that have real time frames, not just what we want to happen. If a feature would push back the timeline or budget, you’ll know about it early, not the night before delivery. We’d rather have an awkward talk now than have you have to justify delays to your stakeholders later.
Dedicated Team
You won’t be tossed around or told about “your new point of contact” every few weeks. The people who start your project will stay with it. They know not just how to code a certain functionality, but also why it is there. That consistency saves time, cuts down on mistakes, and stops teams from having to explain things over and over again, which has happened to them before. We see your app as a long-term responsibility, not just a short-term job.
Scalable Solutions
Some apps need to be able to manage 10 users today and ten thousand next year. Some people need to connect with tools that aren’t even made yet. We take those things into account when we construct, even if your present version is basic. We don’t just want clean architecture, flexible APIs, and room to grow; we need them to avoid having to rebuild things later.
Reliable Support
The end of launch day isn’t the end. Bugs happen, users act in ways that are hard to predict, and platforms release upgrades that ruin things without warning. When it happens, we are still here. No acts of disappearance. No support tickets are lost in a line. People who already use your app can assist you in fixing what needs to be fixed quickly. That’s the type of dependability we’d want if we were in your shoes, and it’s what we try to provide you every time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is the best mobile app development company near me?
Next Olive is the leading custom mobile application development company that provides its mobile app development services in more than 20 different countries, such as the USA, UK, South Africa, Australia, Israel, UAE, etc. The company has more than 150 mobile application developers and has over 14 years of rich experience in developing and deploying 1000+ projects across 20+ industries.
What if we already have an app that’s half-finished that another team gave up on?
That’s more prevalent than people want to accept. We normally start by checking what we can actually use, such as code, logic, APIs, and even bits of documentation. If it can be saved, we move forward instead of wasting money starting anew. We’ll state it straight out if it’s not, before we charge you for false hope.
How do you deal with apps that have complicated workflows and not simply simple screens?
We spend effort planning out the messy aspects first, including edge cases, user drop-offs, admin overrides, and so on. Most apps fail here without saying a word. We slow down at the beginning of our procedure so that things don’t break later. It doesn’t look as good, but it’s much more stable when real people use it.
Can you cooperate with our internal IT team without getting in the way?
Yes, and we actually like it that way. We write out our choices, discuss the pros and cons, and keep communication boringly obvious. No power games and no secret development. Your team stays in the loop, and you never lose track of who owns what.
What if we don’t fully understand what we need yet?
That’s okay. Most significant products start hazy. We help you narrow things down by showing you how to use them in real life, not just by talking about their characteristics. We don’t tell you to “finalize everything” right away. Instead, we construct in stages so that you can learn without having to rework everything.
How do you stop scope creep from quietly ruining budgets?
We call it out early, even if it’s hard. We don’t act like small adjustments don’t matter. Before work starts, you’ll always know what’s included, what’s new, and what it implies for the schedule.
Do you only make the app, or do you help when it comes out, too?
The main problems usually start to show themselves after launch. We keep involved to make fixes, tune performance, and make changes based on feedback from real users. No more disappearing performances when the app becomes live. A speedy handoff isn’t as important as long-term reliability.
How long does it really take to make a mobile app?
It has less to do with the idea and more to do with the choices made about it. If approvals are quick and features stay tight, a focused MVP can take 8 to 12 weeks. Apps that have role-based access, integrations, or logic that works offline naturally take longer. We give time frames in ranges, not made-up dates.
How much does it cost to make an app for a phone?
There isn’t a set number, and anyone who gives one right away is just guessing. Our minimum project cost for serious, production-ready apps is $7,000. This includes proper planning, development, and testing. After that, the cost depends on the project’s complexity. For example, real-time sync, security layers, and third-party APIs all add weight. We break up the price into stages so you don’t have to worry about a big unknown.
