Mobile App Development

Agentic Software Development – Lived

Specialized AI agents are part of everyday development — from architecture and code to testing and operations. What matters is not the individual agent, but the orchestration, grounded in solid engineering and decades of mobile experience. Judgment and responsibility remain with humans — this is how apps are built that put technology in the service of real users.

Agents Across the Entire Cycle

Specialized AI agents support architecture, code, testing, reviews, and operations – not at isolated points, but continuously throughout the entire development cycle.

Engineering as a Foundation

Agents accelerate – quality is ensured by solid engineering practices: clear architecture, automated tests, reviews, and CI/CD.

Orchestration Instead of Single Agent

The value is created through interaction: We orchestrate agents, tools, and people into a reliable overall result.

Mobile Expertise That Steers

AI agents are only as good as their guidance. Decades of mobile experience give them direction – app stores, UX, performance, and operations.

Our Service Portfolio

A broad spectrum of expertise – from native development and SDKs to AI-powered analysis and emerging technologies. Specialists across all disciplines, everything from a single source.

Mobile App Development

Since 2008, we have been developing mobile apps that delight millions of users. Native apps unlock the full potential of iOS and Android – with a native look & feel, optimal performance, and deep operating system integration. Where speed is of the essence, Flutter delivers native performance from a shared codebase.

For an app to hold up in everyday use, it depends on seamless integration into your IT landscape. We connect it securely and maintainably with CMS, CRM, ERP, payment systems, and backend services.

  • Native development for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, visionOS and Android, as well as Flutter and PWA

  • Secure integrations and App Store publishing incl. ASO

App Rescue & Operations

With AI tools and vibe coding, initial prototypes can be built quickly today. But many projects hit their limits: the codebase becomes unwieldy, technical debt accumulates, tests are missing, and no internal team truly understands how the app works.

We start with an honest assessment and develop a pragmatic plan. We don't reinvent the wheel, but we keep long-term quality in mind. We then support your app throughout its ongoing operations. With over 80 live apps and more than 15 years of experience, we know the common pitfalls.

  • Code audit & incremental refactoring without operational downtime

  • Ongoing operations: monitoring, OS updates, App Store management

Mobile Advertising & Monetisation

We build and operate mobile ad stacks – scalable, high-performing, and privacy-compliant. Our ad stack covers everything from professional ad serving and instream and outstream video to header bidding. Header bidding allows multiple demand partners to bid simultaneously, maximising advertising revenue. Data-driven targeting increases relevance – with full privacy compliance.

  • Google Ad Manager / AdMob, Prebid Header Bidding, video ads

  • Consent management, CMP, IAB standards, privacy-first targeting (Permutive, GDPR-compliant)

EasyApp

Not every app needs to be built from scratch. With our EasyApp approach, we wrap your existing website in a native app container. This allows us to bring it to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in no time. It is cost-efficient and requires no complex redevelopment.

We reuse existing content and functionality. A dedicated app icon on the home screen, push notifications, and offline availability create an additional channel with minimal effort.

  • Native iOS & Android container incl. App Store publishing

  • App Store Optimisation (ASO) for better discoverability in the store

  • Fast to market and cost-efficient – without complex redevelopment

  • Enable monetisation through in-app purchases (IAP) within each ecosystem

SDK Development

A software development kit encapsulates complex functionality into an easily integrable library. Instead of rebuilding the same logic in every app, we develop and test it once and provide it as an SDK. This ensures consistent quality and maximum reuse. We deliver modern Swift SDKs for iOS and Kotlin-native SDKs for Android. Both are compatible with the standard distribution channels of their respective ecosystems.

This is particularly valuable when identical functionality needs to appear across multiple apps or when third parties need to integrate features with ease. One example is a shared analytics, advertising, or authentication layer across an entire app family.

  • iOS: Swift, CocoaPods, XCFrameworks · Android: Kotlin, Maven, Gradle

  • Semantic versioning & changelog management

Appalyzer

How good is your app, really? Our AI-powered analysis tool examines it from all relevant perspectives – automated, objective, and with concrete benchmarks. You receive a clear report with prioritised measures for security, performance, and store visibility, ready to act on immediately.

  • Store analysis, security audit (OWASP Mobile Top 10) & performance

  • AI report with prioritised measures & free initial scan

User Experience & Accessibility

A great app is not built through code alone. Strategy, user research, UX design, and data-driven optimisation determine lasting success in the store and with your users. We create award-winning, accessible experiences – including gamification and App Store optimisation.

  • User research, UX/UI, design systems, gamification & ASO

  • Accessibility in line with WCAG – legally compliant and inclusive
