Mobile apps your customers keep using
We design and build Android and iOS apps for businesses in Kenya and across East Africa. You bring the idea and the people it is for. We turn it into an app that works on the phones your customers own and the networks they use every day.
Ask about mobile app developmentWhy it matters
Most people here open an app on a mid-range Android phone, on a data bundle they watch closely, often on a connection that comes and goes. An app that is heavy, slow to open or useless without signal gets deleted. So we keep apps small, make the important screens work offline, and let people pay the way they already pay.
One team handles the design, the app itself, the server behind it and the release to Google Play and the App Store. You see working builds as we go, so there are no surprises at the end.
What you get
- Android and iOS apps
- Built for both platforms. We tell you plainly when one shared codebase will do the job and when it will not.
- Mobile money and card payments
- M-Pesa and card payments inside the app, with records your accounts team can reconcile.
- Screens that work offline
- People can keep working without signal. The app sends everything through when the connection returns.
- An admin dashboard
- A web dashboard for your team to manage users, content and orders without calling a developer.
- App store release
- We prepare the listings, screenshots and review submissions for Google Play and the App Store.
- Updates after launch
- New phone models and operating system releases keep coming. We keep the app working on them.
How it goes
We learn the job
We sit with you to understand who the app is for and what they need to get done, then write down the scope and the price.
You try a prototype
Before any code, you tap through the screens on your own phone and tell us what feels wrong.
We build in rounds
You receive test builds as features are finished, so you can check each one while it is still easy to change.
We release and stay on
We publish the app, watch how it behaves with real users, and fix what they find.
Questions we are asked
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
It depends on how much the app has to do. A focused first version usually takes a few months from the first meeting to the app stores. After we have scoped your idea we give you a timeline with dates you can plan around.
How much does a mobile app cost in Kenya?
The cost follows the number of screens, the systems the app must connect to, and whether you need both Android and iOS. We do not quote from a price list. Tell us what you want to build and we will send a written quote.
Do you build for both Android and iPhone?
Yes. Most customers in East Africa are on Android, so we often start there, but we build for both. Where it makes sense we use one shared codebase so you are not paying for the same feature twice.
Can you take over an app another developer started?
Yes. We begin by reading the existing code and telling you honestly what state it is in. Sometimes it can be carried forward as it is, and sometimes parts of it are cheaper to rebuild than to repair.
Will my app work without an internet connection?
It can. We decide with you which screens must work offline, store that data on the phone, and send it to the server once the connection is back. Payments and live data still need a connection.
