Mobile Apps
iOS apps that feel like they belong on the platform
iOS users notice when an app does not follow platform conventions, and Apple’s reviewers notice too. Native iOS work means using the system properly — real navigation patterns, correct accessibility support, sensible permission prompts — rather than wrapping a website in a shell.

The problem this solves
Cross-platform shortcuts show on iOS more than anywhere else: wrong gestures, non-standard navigation, ignored Dynamic Type, and animation that stutters. It reads as cheap to exactly the audience most willing to pay for apps.
What you get
Swift and SwiftUI implementation
Modern Swift with SwiftUI where it fits and UIKit where it is still stronger, following Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines.
iPad and multi-window support
Proper adaptive layouts rather than a stretched phone screen — which is also an App Store review point for universal apps.
Accessibility support
VoiceOver labels, Dynamic Type and sufficient contrast. Apple weights this heavily, and it widens your addressable audience.
Apple ecosystem integration
Sign in with Apple, Apple Pay, Wallet passes, widgets, Shortcuts and push via APNs where they earn their place.
StoreKit subscriptions
In-app purchases and subscriptions implemented with receipt validation and the account-deletion flow Apple now requires.
TestFlight distribution
Structured beta testing with internal and external groups before public release.

iOS App Development — your questions
Including the ones about cost, which most agencies leave off the page.
A focused native iOS app typically runs £15,000 to £30,000. Adding subscriptions, offline sync or a custom backend moves it higher. We quote fixed price after a scoping session.
We normally target the current and previous two major versions, which covers well over 95% of active devices. Supporting further back is possible but adds cost for shrinking benefit, so we show you the device data before deciding.
Usually yes. We start with a paid code audit covering architecture, dependency health, test coverage and store compliance, then give you an honest recommendation — including when a rewrite is genuinely cheaper than continuing.
If you want it to, yes, built as a universal app with adaptive layouts. If iPad is not a real audience for you we will say so rather than bill for it — but note Apple reviews iPad presentation on universal submissions.
