Custom App Development for iOS and Android

We turn your idea into a working app: iOS, Android, or cross-platform. Includes UX/UI design, backend, API integrations, push notifications, rigorous QA, and publishing on the App Store and Google Play. Code ownership, standard NDA, and post-launch support.

A mediocre app = negative reviews and immediate uninstalls.

Mobile users are ruthless: if the app is slow, buggy, or has a confusing UX, they uninstall it within 30 seconds. You need intuitive design, excellent performance, and rigorous testing. It's not enough to 'make the app work' - it must work perfectly.

  • UX/UI Design Included: Wireframes, mockups, and an interactive prototype before coding.
  • Custom Backend & APIs: Server, database, integrations: all developed entirely from scratch.
  • Store Publishing: We manage App Store and Google Play submissions. ASO included.

Che Tipo di App Sviluppiamo

Specializziamo nello sviluppo app su misura per aziende B2B e B2C che necessitano soluzioni personalizzate, non template. Ogni progetto parte da zero con analisi UX/UI dedicata.

App B2B Internal Tools

App per dipendenti: gestione ordini, inventory tracking, field service, reporting. Integrazione con ERP/CRM aziendale, autenticazione SSO, sync offline per zone senza rete.

App Cliente / Consumer

App per i tuoi clienti finali: e-commerce mobile, loyalty program, prenotazioni, tracking ordini. Login social, notifiche push personalizzate, pagamenti in-app (Stripe, PayPal).

Marketplace Mobile

Piattaforme multi-sided: buyer + seller. Gestione annunci, chat integrata, sistema recensioni, pagamenti con fee automatiche, dashboard venditore.

Booking & Delivery

App per prenotazioni (ristoranti, hotel, servizi) o delivery (food, grocery, courier). Real-time tracking GPS, notifiche stato ordine, rating driver/ristorante.

Field Service & IoT

App per tecnici esterni: ricezione interventi, checklist, firma digitale cliente, foto before/after. Connessione device IoT via Bluetooth/NFC.

Content & Community

App content-driven: blog mobile, video streaming, podcast, forum. Feed infinito, user-generated content, moderazione, analytics engagement.

iOS, Android o Cross-Platform? Quando Conviene

La scelta dello stack tecnologico impatta tempi, costi e performance. Ecco quando consigliamo ciascuna opzione.

App Native iOS (Swift/SwiftUI)

Quando sceglierla: Target primario è iPhone/iPad, serve performance massima (gaming, AR, video editing), design iOS-specific (widgets, Face ID).

✓ Performance ottima • ✓ Accesso completo API iOS • ✗ Solo iOS • ✗ Costo doppio per Android

App Native Android (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose)

Quando sceglierla: Target primario è Android (es. target B2B con device Android aziendali), integrazione con hardware specifico Android.

✓ Performance ottima • ✓ Accesso completo API Android • ✗ Solo Android • ✗ Costo doppio per iOS

Cross-Platform (React Native / Flutter)

Quando sceglierla: Budget limitato, serve sia iOS che Android, app content-based (non gaming/AR), time-to-market rapido. 90% del codice condiviso.

✓ Una codebase = iOS + Android • ✓ Costi -40% vs native • ✓ Rilasci sincronizzati • ✗ Performance leggermente inferiore in task pesanti

Il nostro consiglio: Per startup/MVP → Cross-platform (React Native). Per app consumer con milioni di utenti → Native. Per B2B standard → Cross-platform va benissimo.

Funzionalità Tipiche (Tech Deliverables)

Cosa include concretamente la realizzazione app mobile "chiavi in mano"?

  • UX/UI Design: Wireframe, mockup alta fedeltà, design system (colori, font, componenti). Prototipo interattivo (Figma) prima di iniziare sviluppo.
  • Backend & API: Server-side (Node.js, Python, NestJS) con API REST/GraphQL per login, dati utente, business logic. Database PostgreSQL/MongoDB.
  • Autenticazione: Login email/password, social login (Google, Apple, Facebook), recupero password, autenticazione biometrica (Face ID, Touch ID).
  • Notifiche Push: Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) per Android, APNS per iOS. Segmentazione utenti, scheduling, analytics aperture.
  • Pagamenti In-App: Integrazione Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Gestione subscription ricorrenti se necessario.
  • Mappe & Geolocalizzazione: Google Maps / Apple Maps integration, tracking GPS real-time, geofencing, calcolo distanze.
  • Analytics & Crash Monitoring: Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Sentry per crash reporting. Dashboard uso app, retention, funnel conversione.
  • Offline Mode: Cache locale (SQLite, Realm), sincronizzazione automatica quando torna connessione. Fondamentale per field service.
  • Admin Panel Web: Dashboard web per gestire contenuti app, utenti, moderazione, statistiche. CRUD completo senza toccare codice.
  • CI/CD & TestFlight/Beta: Pipeline automatizzato per build e deploy. Distribuzione beta tester (TestFlight iOS, Google Play Beta).

Backend, Database e Integrazioni API

Un'app mobile senza backend robusto è uno scheletro vuoto. Noi sviluppiamo l'intera infrastruttura server-side.

Stack Backend Tipico

  • API Server: Node.js (Express/NestJS), Python (Django/FastAPI), o Go
  • Database: PostgreSQL (relazionale), MongoDB (NoSQL), Redis (cache)
  • Storage File: AWS S3, Cloudinary per immagini/video utente
  • Authentication: JWT tokens, OAuth2, session management
  • Real-time: WebSocket (Socket.io) per chat, notifiche live

Integrazioni Comuni

  • CRM/ERP: Salesforce, HubSpot, SAP, Zoho, Odoo
  • Pagamenti: Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, Adyen
  • Email/SMS: SendGrid, Mailgun, Twilio
  • Analytics: Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude
  • Push Notifications: Firebase, OneSignal, AWS SNS

Metodo di Lavoro: Discovery → Design → Build → QA → Store

Step 1: Discovery (Settimana 1)

Workshop obiettivi business, target utenti, funzionalità core, competitor analysis. Deliverable: documento funzionale, user stories, sitemap app.

Step 2: UX/UI Design (Settimane 2-3)

Wireframe low-fidelity, mockup alta fedeltà, design system, prototipo interattivo Figma. Approva il design prima di iniziare sviluppo.

Step 3: Build (Settimane 4-12, a sprint)

Sviluppo frontend app + backend API in parallelo. Sprint bi-settimanali con demo funzionante su TestFlight/Beta. Feedback continuo, backlog dinamico.

Step 4: QA & Testing (Settimane 12-14)

Test funzionali, regression, performance (caricare 10.000 item), device testing (iPhone 12,13,14,15, Android vari), fix bug critici. Beta testing con 20-50 utenti reali.

Step 5: Pubblicazione Store (Settimane 15-16)

Preparazione asset store (icona, screenshot, descrizione, keywords ASO), submission App Store + Google Play, gestione review process, rilascio pubblico. Monitoring post-lancio.

Tempi e Costi (Driver Principali)

Il costo dipende da complessità UX, numero schermate, integrazioni API, backend custom, piattaforme target.

Fattori che influenzano il preventivo:

  • Numero schermate: MVP 10-15 schermate vs app complessa 50+ schermate
  • Integrazioni: Quante API esterne? (pagamenti, mappe, CRM, analytics, push)
  • Offline mode: Serve sincronizzazione dati locale? Aumenta complessità +30%
  • Ruoli e permessi: Admin, utente standard, moderatore → logica autorizzazione complessa
  • Real-time features: Chat, tracking GPS live, notifiche push → backend WebSocket
  • Admin panel: Serve dashboard web per gestire app? +20% costi

Fasce indicative:

  • • MVP app semplice (cross-platform): 15.000 - 25.000€
  • • App media complessità (iOS + Android native): 30.000 - 50.000€
  • • App complessa (marketplace, real-time, integrazioni): 50.000 - 100.000€+

Include: UX/UI design, sviluppo app, backend, QA, pubblicazione store, 3 mesi supporto.

FAQ

Le Domande
Più Comuni

Abbiamo raccolto le domande più frequenti per aiutarti a capire come lavoriamo e cosa aspettarti dai nostri servizi.

How much does custom app development cost?

Cross-platform MVP: €15,000-€25,000. Native iOS + Android app: €30,000-€50,000. Complex app (marketplace, real-time, integrations): €50,000-€100,000+. Includes: UX/UI design, development, backend, QA, store publishing, 3 months support.

Is native or cross-platform better?

Cross-platform (React Native, Flutter) if budget is limited and you need iOS + Android quickly. Native (Swift, Kotlin) if you need maximum performance (gaming, AR, video) or specific iOS/Android features. For 80% of B2B/B2C cases, cross-platform works perfectly.

How long does it take to publish on the stores?

Average app development: 3-4 months. Testing and beta: 2-3 weeks. Store submission: Apple review 2-7 days, Google 1-3 days. Total timeline: 4-5 months from kickoff to public release.

Do you also manage backend and API integrations?

Yes, 100%. We develop the complete backend (Node.js, Python, NestJS), database (PostgreSQL, MongoDB), REST/GraphQL APIs, third-party integrations (CRM, payments, analytics, push notifications). Not just the frontend.

Who owns the source code?

You do. We provide the complete source code (app + backend), Git repository access, and technical documentation. No vendor lock-in. You can continue development internally or with other providers.

Do you provide maintenance and updates?

Yes. It includes 3 months of post-launch support (bug fixing, minor tweaks). Then monthly maintenance SLAs from €500/month: OS updates (new iOS/Android), bug fixes, minor evolutions, crash monitoring.

How do you handle privacy and security?

Secure JWT authentication, mandatory HTTPS, sensitive data encryption (AES-256), GDPR compliance (privacy policy, consents, data deletion), OS permissions (location, camera, notifications) only when necessary. Pre-launch security audit.

Can we start with an MVP?

Yes, recommended. MVP with core features (10-15 screens) in 2-3 months, budget €15,000-€25,000. Release, gather real user feedback, metrics. Then gradual evolutions based on concrete data. Minimizes investment risk.
