Services — 005 / Mobile Apps

iOS and Android,
on one timeline.

Cross-platform mobile apps built with React Native and Expo. One codebase, both stores, native performance. Custom-scoped engagements from $15,000.

What you get — 006 essentials

Native quality.
Half the team.

One codebase. Two stores. Same features. Same launch day. The economics of a mobile app, finally working in your favor.

MOBILE — 001

One codebase, two stores.

React Native and Expo — iOS and Android ship from the same source. Same day, same version, same feature parity.

MOBILE — 002

Native performance.

60fps animations, native gestures, and optimistic UI. The app feels native because the underlying primitives are.

MOBILE — 003

Offline-first when it matters.

Field, ops, and delivery apps keep working when the network drops — and reconcile cleanly when it comes back.

MOBILE — 004

Push notifications.

Notifications wired through Expo Push or your own provider — properly handled across foreground, background, and quit states.

MOBILE — 005

Auth, payments, deep links.

Clerk for auth, Stripe for payments, deep linking for marketing. The standard mobile primitives done right the first time.

MOBILE — 006

Release pipeline that holds up.

EAS builds, OTA updates, internal testing tracks. Predictable releases — not a manual scramble every time you ship.

Process — 8–16 weeks, fixed

From scope to
both app stores.

Mobile apps are scoped as Custom engagements ($15,000+) because every app has different platform requirements. We confirm everything in writing before you sign.

01Weeks 0–1

Discovery & scope.

We map every screen, integration, and platform requirement. Output: a written scope you sign before any code is written.

02Weeks 1–2

Core flows in design.

We design the screens that decide whether the app is good — onboarding, the primary action, and the empty state.

03Weeks 2–10

Build, test, iterate.

TestFlight and Google Play internal testing builds shipped weekly. You install and use the app from week 3.

04Weeks 10–12

Submit & launch.

Store listings, screenshots, privacy answers, review responses. We handle the entire submission process end-to-end.

FAQ — 005 / common questions

Questions before you start.

A mobile app is a bigger commitment than a website. Tell Ryel what you’re trying to do — he’ll give you an honest read on whether you actually need one.

01 · FAQ

Do I really need a mobile app?

Most small businesses don’t — a mobile-friendly website handles 95% of the use case. You need a mobile app when your customers will use the product weekly, when offline access matters, or when you need device features like push notifications, camera, or background location.

02 · FAQ

iOS, Android, or both?

Both, from one codebase. We use React Native and Expo so a single team ships to both stores at the same time — same features, same launch day.

03 · FAQ

How long does a mobile app take?

A focused mobile app: 8–12 weeks. A mobile app plus a backend, admin portal, and web companion: 12–16 weeks. The contract has a firm delivery date.

04 · FAQ

Do you handle the App Store and Google Play submissions?

Yes — certificates, provisioning, TestFlight, internal testing, store listings, screenshots, and review responses. You don’t touch a single portal unless you want to.

05 · FAQ

What about updates after launch?

Most updates ship over-the-air through Expo without an App Store review. Native code changes go through the normal review cycle. Ongoing development is typically handled on a monthly retainer.
