CUSTOM IOS APP DEVELOPMENT
We build iOS apps that feel part of the Apple ecosystem, simple, intuitive and beautifully engineered. iOS users expect the same polish and trust they get from Apple itself, so we design apps that are secure, human-centred, and consistent across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
From retail and health to SaaS and connected products our London and Surrey team works with founders and enterprise leaders who see mobile as a way to design experiences to engage with their users and drive loyalty.
OUR APP DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
What success looks like
For us it’s a mobile application that impact your business results, whether its growth, retention, revenue or when a process is automated to free your team for less mundane activities.
Problems we solve
Most apps fail to gather traction and momentum, users to sign up on mass, those that do dont hang around and the revenue line does reach the costs line.
We optimise
After launch we get to monitor your audiences user behaviour, where they do, where they get stuck and where they avoid. We take each insight to ensure you app is easy to use and earning.

CUSTOM IOS APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
What We Build
Flagship iOS apps: Built from scratch for brands and businesses that need great user experiences, security and scale all designed with growth and retention in mind.
MVPs for founders: Perfect for testing idea and concepts, trimmed down versions to prove a concept or prove that the app can get traction.
Enterprise-grade platforms: Scalable, secure and compliant to the most demanding of CISO policies. We integrate with your internal systems, manage how the data flows and automate the mundane.
Customer apps: A well-built consumer app does more than put your logo on someone’s phone, it opens up new revenue streams and builds a direct relationship and brand loyalty.
IoT apps: We build apps that connect people to the products, from smart home systems to sensors in the field or anything in-betwee
WE ARE IOS APP DEVELOPERS
How We Deliver It
We start with the problem: Every iOS build begins with what’s not working, what the blockers to growth and where the users drop off and what are the missed opportunities.
Creating the user experience: We can test a lot before any code gets written with wireframes, clickable prototypes and user journey evaluation. We actively wants this feed feedback early and well before the budget’s gone.
We are agile: Over the years we have seen the benefit of incremental releases with shorter QA cycles, fewer issues and continuous improvement meaning we can release by sprint or in waves every few months,
We Optimise: We have learnt that every feature has a have a metric behind it. be it usage, retention or revenue and we monitor user behaviour and adapt
We hand over: Fully tested and with all code documented, you can take it in-house or keep using us, either way, it’s built to last.
Its all about the Apple Devices and their eco-system
Our Point of View
Apple changed what people expect from technology, their hardware and software just work. They feel simple even when they’re not. and every tap, every gesture and every load time is deliberate. That mindset built an ecosystem where detail still matters and users still notice.
That’s the world we build in.
You can’t cut corners here as the Apple user experience has to be exceptional, responsive and crash free. When it’s done right, the iOS technology feels effortless and that effort pays back in trust, loyalty and growth.
We build to belong in that entire apple ecosystem and be worthy of the small screen it lives on.
FAQs
Questions we are asked before we are hired
How would you scope my iOS app?
We start every iOS app project with a discovery phase and ask questions, lots and lots of questions around the project scope and app’s complexity, your target audience and the business objectives. Our digital strategists, our project mangers and dedicated developers map they key functions and features and create you a complete roadmap, split town by task or phase with clear costs and timelines.
What does delivery look like?
Our delivery process for iOS development services follows agile methodologies, we parcel up with into two week sprints with a demo at the end of each one, we run rigorous ios app testing each sprint and larger regression testing at the end. Once delivered we offer ongoing maintenance packages to ensure the apps performance improvements and ensure the app remains updated.
Who’s involved in building my app?
As part of our iOS app development services, you will have a small core team that consists of a project manager keeps everything moving, a UX designer do create engaging and intuitive user experiences and our dedicated ios developers handle the build and make the magic happen. In additional we can pull in specialists when needs for backend infrastructure, data scientists or cyber security experts.
How do you cost an iOS app build?
This is handled in on our discovery phase when work through the apps scope as there a lot of factors that can induce the cost, things like the apps complexity, the integrations, the data security and compliance and of course advanced features like AI or the sensors on the phone
How long does it take to build an app?
During our discovery phase is when our iPhone app development team ask lots of question to understand everything we can about your app and business objectives. We discuss your app’s features and functions alongside any integrations and compliance to determine the length of the development process. Over the years we have discovered trends, MVPS take between 3-4 months, consumer apps take around 6-7 months and for the enterprise they can take up to 9 months,
What happens once the app goes live?
Post launch our iOS app development company offer software support and maintenance service packages. These are all designed monitor the user engagement of the app with what your users do, where they go and where they avoid as well as keep the iOS application up to date with its security patches and OS updates.
How secure will my app be?
When developing iOS apps we can make yours as secure as you want it to be, our iOS experts develop to the oWasp top 10 standards, GDPR and any ISO standards you would like be compliant with, We ensure that all data is encrypted both in transit and at rest and use secure authentication, keychain storage and security tests all our builds before public release with an independent CREST approved PEN testing agency.
Can you scale the app as we grow?
Yes of course, it’s important that we get to understand your business vision during the discovery phase. Whilst the mobile app works on your phone, there is always a backend infrastructure that the app needs to talk to. During the iOS app development process we either work with horizontal scaling of monolith servers or use a server-less infrastructure that you pay for what you consume. We have built many app in a server-less way that have handled hundreds of thousands of concurrent users .
How often should we update the app?
There’s no fixed official rule, but we recommend the pattern for native iOS apps, issue regular monthly hot-fixes, security updates and incremental updates, then a wave release every 3-4 months with new functions and features. You should also monitor the App Store for user feedback and tracking tools to monitor or performance issues and crash logs.
How do you help us promote the app?
Yes we can, its what makes us different to other iPhone app developers, we are the digital strategists that create new business models your digital strategy and are digital marketers who understand paid media marketing, search engine optimisation and conversation rate optimisation. When you get your CRO right every pound you spend in marketing will result in more users, more signups and greater retention.
What happens when the project ends?
Whilst we love to think the project never ends, there are key milestones that we believe need to be achieved. At regular intervals we hand over a number of items such as the source code for you to store and project document artefacts just in case, We also recommend the you own the backend infrastructure so that you have complete access control to your valuable data.
What makes you different?
We are founders ourselves and understand what it’s like to spend our own money, which is why we treat your budgets like they are our own. We understand business models, commercial realities and don’t stop when the timesheet says to, we stop when the job is done. Also unlike other ios app development companies we a specialists in understanding how to move the needle on conversion rates, and to find you new users. We like to think we are more than iPhone developers.
We were going in circles until Ronins stepped in, they got us focused, showed us what mattered, and built a solution that didn’t rip out everything we’d already invested in.
