What we build

Cross-Platform App Development: what we build

Choosing and building on the right shared-code framework for your product. Here are the six kinds of cross-platform app development work we are asked for most often.

How we choose

Five questions that decide the framework

We answer these with you before recommending anything. The first question that gets a yes usually decides the approach.

  1. 01

    Hardware-heavy?

    Does the app depend on Bluetooth devices, AR or demanding graphics?

    If yes: Native, or Kotlin Multiplatform with native interfaces

  2. 02

    React team?

    Does your team already build in React and TypeScript?

    If yes: React Native

  3. 03

    Custom brand and web?

    Do you need identical custom design on mobile and a web version?

    If yes: Flutter

  4. 04

    Occasional use?

    Do users open it rarely, with no need for offline use or device features?

    If yes: Progressive web app

  5. 05

    Native UI, shared logic?

    Do you want fully native screens but one set of business logic?

    If yes: Kotlin Multiplatform

Straight answers

Is Cross-Platform App Development right for you?

We would rather recommend less than sell you more. Here is how we judge it.

A good fit when

  • You need iOS and Android with one team
  • You are unsure which framework fits
  • You run two native apps that drift apart
  • Speed of delivery matters

  • One platform covers almost all your users

    Build natively for that platform first.

  • The app is hardware-heavy

    Native development is usually the safer choice.

  • You have already chosen a framework

    Go straight to Flutter or React Native Development.

FAQ

Cross-Platform App Development FAQ

What is the best cross-platform framework?

There is no single best framework. Flutter suits custom-branded apps that may also need a web version, React Native suits teams working in React, and Kotlin Multiplatform suits apps that need native interfaces with shared logic.

Are cross-platform apps as good as native apps?

For most business and consumer apps, yes. Modern frameworks compile to native code and perform well; native development still has the edge for hardware-heavy, graphics-intensive or platform-specific apps.

What is Kotlin Multiplatform?

Kotlin Multiplatform lets iOS and Android apps share business logic written in Kotlin while keeping fully native interfaces, using Compose Multiplatform where shared interfaces make sense.

When is a progressive web app enough?

A progressive web app is enough when users open the app occasionally and do not need offline use, device hardware or reliable push notifications on every platform.

Can you merge our separate iOS and Android apps?

Yes. We plan a shared-code rebuild feature by feature, keep the existing apps running until the new one is ready, and migrate users without disruption.

How much code is shared in a cross-platform app?

Usually most of it. Interface code and business logic are shared, while platform-specific features may need some native code for each platform.
