A focused first version of your app on iOS and Android, built quickly to test the idea with real users and show investors real traction.
We agree the single journey that matters most and park everything else for later.
40 ideas → 8 core featuresClickable prototypes are put in front of target users to confirm the flow makes sense.
6 user tests completedReact Native and a managed backend keep the build fast without cutting corners on quality.
Regular builds on TestFlightStore submission, crash reporting and usage tracking set up so every decision has data.
Live on App Store and Google PlayBuyers and sellers matched, with payments built in.
Schedule, pay and get reminders in one place.
Profiles, feeds and messaging for a niche audience.
An AI feature at the heart of a simple app.
Only the features needed to test your idea make version one.
One React Native codebase published to both app stores.
Sign-ups, retention and key actions tracked from launch.
Clean code you can grow, not a prototype to throw away.
A minimum viable product is the smallest version of your app that real users can use and that proves, or disproves, your core idea. Building one well is a balance between speed and quality: launch too slowly and you burn budget before learning anything, cut too many corners and you have to rebuild. Our MVP app development process gets a focused, well-built first version into both app stores without wasting budget on features nobody has asked for.
The hardest part of an MVP is choosing what to leave out. In a short scoping workshop we map every feature you have in mind, then identify the one journey that proves your idea, such as signing up, completing a booking and paying. Everything else goes onto a prioritised roadmap for later releases. The result is a fixed scope with a fixed price and timeline, so you know exactly what you will launch, when, and how much it will cost.
Before development begins, we design the key screens and turn them into a clickable prototype. We test it with a small group of people from your target audience and watch where they hesitate or get confused. Fixing a flow at this stage costs far less than changing it after launch. The prototype is also useful for early conversations with investors and partners, who can see and use the product before it exists rather than relying on slides alone.
We build most MVPs with React Native, which lets one codebase run natively on both iPhone and Android, paired with a managed backend such as Firebase or Supabase for accounts, data and notifications. This approach typically halves build time compared with two separate native apps. The code is still written to professional standards, with automated tests and clear structure, so once the idea is validated it can be extended rather than thrown away and rebuilt.
An MVP is only useful if you learn from it. We set up analytics, crash reporting and feedback prompts before launch, so you can see how people sign up, which features they use and where they drop off. We handle App Store and Google Play submission and support a beta programme beforehand. After launch we review the data with you and plan the next release around what users actually do, giving you clear evidence for product decisions and investor updates.
Cost depends on the number of screens, user roles and integrations such as payments or maps. Because we agree a fixed scope during the scoping workshop, you receive a fixed price before development begins. Keeping version one focused is the most effective way to control cost, and further features are quoted as separate releases.
It depends on the scope agreed in the workshop: the number of screens and user roles, integrations such as payments or maps, and any compliance needs. Scoping, design, development, testing and store submission are all planned against clear milestones, and you receive working test builds throughout.
Not if it is built properly. Our MVPs use the same professional standards, architecture and testing as larger apps, so new features are added on top of the existing code. What we leave out is scope, not quality. If you later need fully native apps for specific reasons, the backend and designs carry over.
Yes. You own all code, designs and accounts from the start. The apps are published under your own App Store and Google Play developer accounts, and the code lives in your repository. If you build an in-house team later, we provide documentation and a structured handover.
Yes. Most founders continue with us on a release plan, adding features based on user data, or on a maintenance plan that keeps the app updated and stable. We can also help you hire and onboard your own developers when the time is right.
