App Dev Near MeAn app team you can meet before you trust them with your idea. We design and build mobile apps from Manchester — see progress on real devices, test in person, and launch knowing exactly what you are getting.
App projects fail more often from miscommunication than from bad code. Describing an app idea over email to a distant developer is how you end up with something that technically works and completely misses the point. Sitting down together — sketching screens, tapping through prototypes — is how you get it right.
We design and build apps from our studio at 174 Wilmslow Road, Manchester M14 5LQ, for startups and established businesses across Greater Manchester and the UK.
We will also tell you when you do not need an app. Sometimes a mobile-optimised web app does the job for a tenth of the cost — and we would rather tell you that now than build you something expensive you did not need.
Native iPhone and iPad apps built in Swift — App Store submission handled.
Native Android apps in Kotlin, tested across real devices.
Flutter builds that run on both platforms from one codebase — ideal for MVPs and budgets.
The smallest version that proves your idea — launched fast, designed to learn from.
Screens designed around how people actually use phones, prototyped before a line of code.
The servers, databases and integrations your app needs to actually work.
Listings, screenshots and keywords that get your app found and downloaded.
iOS and Android change constantly — we keep your app working and improving.
In person if you like: your concept, your users, your business model. We will challenge it constructively.
Clickable screens you can tap through on a real phone — before any development.
A written price for the agreed scope. No hourly meters running.
Development in stages you can test throughout — on your own phone, not just ours.
App Store and Google Play submission, then monitoring and iteration.
Most apps do not need to be native. If your app is essentially content, booking or e-commerce, a cross-platform Flutter build or even a progressive web app delivers 90% of the experience at a fraction of the cost. We recommend the right approach, not the most expensive one.
The build is half the cost. App Store fees, backend hosting, updates for new OS versions, user support — budget for year two, not just launch day. We quote the full picture, including realistic maintenance.
Distribution is the real challenge. Building the app is the easy part; getting downloads is not. We help with App Store optimisation and launch strategy, and we will be blunt if your go-to-market plan needs work.
See our app development services, Manchester app work, or bring your idea to our studio for an honest assessment.
MVPs from around £15,000. Full-featured apps from £30,000 upward. We give fixed quotes after a prototype phase — never open-ended hourly billing.
It depends on your audience. We usually recommend starting with one platform or a cross-platform Flutter build to validate, then expanding. We will advise based on your users, not our preferences.
Yes — you get test builds on your own phone throughout development. For local clients, we also do in-person testing sessions at our studio.
Absolutely. Your idea stays yours — we are happy to sign before you share details.
We offer maintenance plans covering OS updates, bug fixes and improvements. Or we hand over full source code and documentation — your app, your property.
MVPs in 8 to 12 weeks. Full apps in 4 to 8 months depending on complexity. Call +44 7387 055617 to discuss your timeline.
