# Mobile App Development — Native & Cross-Platform

Canonical: https://voyage.studio/services/mobile-apps

Mobile app design and development for iOS and Android. Swift, Kotlin and React Native, with product strategy, launch, monetisation and growth from Voyage.

## Build the app and the business behind it

Voyage designs and develops mobile apps for creators, startups, businesses and larger organisations in New Zealand and overseas. We bring product strategy, user experience and engineering together, then help you launch, monetise and improve the product.

We build native iOS apps with Swift, native Android apps with Kotlin, and cross-platform apps with React Native and Expo. The right approach depends on your customers, platform requirements, existing code, roadmap and maintenance needs.

## Mobile app development capabilities

Native and cross-platform development, connected with the systems and commercial decisions that make a useful product.

### Native iOS / Swift

iOS applications built in Swift, with platform-appropriate interfaces, device integrations and a plan for App Store delivery.

### React Native / Expo

A shared codebase for iOS and Android where it fits the roadmap. We use React Native and Expo for cross-platform apps and can integrate native capabilities when required.

### AI features & integrations

Connect useful AI functionality with your app experience, backend services and data. Define the user value, data handling and operating requirements before building.

### Backends, accounts & payments

Bring APIs, content, authentication, memberships and payments together with the app, rather than leaving them for after launch.

### Launch, measurement & growth

Prepare the release, measure activation and conversion, and use customer feedback to guide maintenance, retention and the next stage of growth. Onboarding, notifications and personalisation help turn first-time users into people who return.

## Questions, answered.

### How long will it take to build my mobile app?

This is dependent on different factors, such as the complexity of the project, the number of features required, and the availability of content. Having said that, at the start of any new project we’ll decide on timelines to make sure your app is delivered when you need it.

### Do you offer mobile app maintenance services?

Yes, absolutely. To make sure your app is fully functional and winning over users, we offer maintenance services that ensure your mobile app stays up-to-date, secure and optimised.

Ongoing work can include OS compatibility, new features, product analytics, onboarding, conversion and retention. We agree the scope around the stage of the product.

### Do you offer a full end-to-end service?

Yes, we sure do. With your exact team defined by your project needs, we give you access to designers, frontend and backend developers, quality assurance experts, project managers, solution architects and strategists.

### How much will my app cost?

Our prices are based on your requirements - the simpler, the more affordable, the more complex, the more expensive. Within this sliding scale, we’ve worked on apps that range from $50-100K+. We can help you understand what you can achieve with your given budget. We offer native iOS and Android development as well as cross-platform apps with React Native and Expo.

### Do you develop native iOS and Android apps?

Yes. Voyage offers native iOS development with Swift, native Android development with Kotlin, and cross-platform development with React Native and Expo. We recommend an approach around your product requirements.

### Should my app use native development or React Native?

We review the device features, user experience, performance requirements, existing code, delivery plan and ongoing maintenance. Native development may fit specific platform needs; React Native can suit a shared iOS and Android roadmap.

### Can you take over an existing app or AI-built prototype?

Yes. We begin with a review of the product, code, dependencies, data, accounts and release process. That defines what to retain, what to improve and whether any part needs rebuilding.

### Do you work with overseas clients?

Yes. We work from New Zealand with clients locally and internationally, agreeing time-zone overlap, communication and reviews for each engagement.
