What we deliver

We build cross-platform mobile apps with React Native and Expo, sharing types, logic and backend with your web product, from design through App Store and Google Play release.

No public case study yet · see how an engagement runs

Our approach

One TypeScript codebase for iOS and Android with React Native and Expo, native modules where performance or device features demand them, and a backend and design system shared with your web app.

We plan for the parts that are easy to underestimate: offline states, push notifications, deep links, app-store review and release management.

Straight talk

Mobile is a capability we offer rather than a showcase: we don't yet have a public mobile case study to point to, so this page shows how an engagement typically runs instead. If mobile is central to your product, we'll walk you through the approach and introduce the engineers who would do the work.

Typical deliverables

  • Product and UX design for mobile
  • React Native and Expo app for iOS and Android
  • Backend APIs, authentication and push notifications
  • Analytics and crash reporting
  • App Store and Google Play submission
  • Release pipeline and over-the-air updates

Tools we typically use

  • React Native
  • Expo
  • TypeScript
  • Postgres and Supabase
  • Firebase Cloud Messaging
  • App Store Connect
  • Google Play Console

If your team already runs a different stack, we work within it. These are defaults, not requirements.

Phases and team

How an engagement typically runs

10–20 weeks, delivered by a small senior pod, with progress you can see as it is built. Pip tailors the working model to your team.

  1. Discover and design

    User journeys, mobile UX and a design system shared with your web product; a clickable prototype to test early.

  2. Build

    One React Native and Expo codebase for iOS and Android, with weekly test builds on your own devices.

  3. Release

    App Store and Google Play submission from your own developer accounts, including listings and review responses.

  4. Manage

    Updates, over-the-air fixes, crash monitoring and new features after launch, if you want us to stay on.

Typical team

Architect, product designer, two mobile engineers, a backend engineer and a QA engineer

We don't have a public case study for this service yet. Rather than invent one, we've set out above how an engagement typically runs. On a call we'll walk you through the approach and introduce the people who would do the work.

FAQ

Mobile apps: common questions

Ask Pip if yours isn't here.

Cross-platform with React Native and Expo suits most business apps and halves the code to maintain. We recommend fully native development when an app depends on heavy graphics, advanced camera or audio processing, or platform features that cross-platform tools don't expose well.
