Mobile app development in Houston for iPhone & Android
We build iOS and Android apps from a single codebase, so you launch on both app stores faster and for less. From first idea to App Store and Google Play, we handle design, development and launch.
Everything to take your app from idea to app store
We build with React Native and Expo, the same approach used by many of the apps you already use.
iPhone & Android
One codebase that runs natively on both platforms, so features and fixes ship everywhere at once.
Accounts & sign-in
Email, Google and Apple sign-in, profiles and secure user data.
Payments
In-app payments, subscriptions and bookings with Stripe.
Push notifications
Reminders, updates and offers that bring users back to your app.
Admin dashboard
A web dashboard to manage users, content, orders and bookings.
Store launch
App Store and Google Play setup, screenshots, listings and submission.
Why build your app with us
Two platforms, one budget
A single codebase means you are not paying to build the same app twice.
Start with an MVP
Launch the core features first, learn from real users, then grow the app.
Web and app together
Your app and website can share one backend, so a booking on the web shows up instantly in the app.
You own everything
The code, the app store accounts and the data are yours.

How much does it cost to build an app in Houston?
App MVPs with us typically start around $15,000 for iOS and Android together. Larger apps with payments and integrations usually start around $30,000. You get a fixed quote after a free discovery call.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
A focused MVP usually takes about 4–6 weeks from design approval to app store submission. Larger apps are planned in phases.
Do I need separate apps for iPhone and Android?
No. We build one codebase that runs natively on both, which saves time and money and keeps both versions in sync.
Do you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We prepare the listings and screenshots and handle submission. You will need your own Apple and Google developer accounts, which we help you set up.
Can my app work with my existing website?
Yes. The app and website can share one backend and database, so accounts, bookings and orders stay in sync everywhere.
Who owns the app?
You do. Once paid in full, you own the code, the store accounts and all the data.
