Mobile app development services we offer

We plan every sprint around your goals, not ours, so nothing gets built without a clear purpose. We deliver Android and iOS app development, plus hybrid solutions built on React Native and Flutter.

Using our own strategy, design, and code that show up on schedule and perform on demand.

Android App Development

Consultation and Proposal

We understand your product, users and goals through no-obligation consultations, then provide a clear proposal with the agreed scope, fixed cost and timeline.

Discovery and UX/UI Design

We transform your idea into user journeys, wireframes and interactive Figma designs, recommending and agreeing on any improvements before development.

Agile Development and Weekly Delivery

We develop your product through agile sprints, deliver functional updates every week and keep you informed about progress and proposed changes.

Testing and Quality Assurance

Testing starts on day one. We test every feature, validate each sprint and assess the complete product for functionality, usability, compatibility and app security.

Launch and Ongoing Support

Lastly, we deploy the app, monitor performance, and provide ongoing support for updates and improvements.

Frequently asked question

Common questions about our services, process and approach.

Why choose Intelivita for mobile app development?

Choose Intelivita for mobile app development because we stand apart from other app development companies by treating every project with a clear understanding of your goals. We build with actual user retention and operational efficiency. We maintain quality and deliver results, which is why our clients return after their first projects.

Should I develop for iOS, Android, or both first?

You should develop both, depending on where your target audience is. iOS if you are targeting premium markets. Android if you need broader reach, using cross-platform frameworks (Flutter or React Native). We help evaluate your market and choose the right approach from the start.

How do you estimate the cost of a mobile app development project?

We begin with one or more no-obligation calls or workshops to understand your users, requirements, features and integrations. We then provide a proposal containing the scope, fixed cost, timeframe and terms. Development follows agile sprints, so you can estimate your project early and changes can still be introduced, subject to agreed cost or timeline adjustments.

What type of app is right for my business?

You imagine it, we build it. We develop custom mobile apps for businesses, health and fitness, marketplaces, delivery services, bookings, finance, social communities, research and internal operations. Every type of mobile app is designed around your specific users, workflows and business goals.

Can you develop our application if we already have the designs?

Absolutely. We can review your existing designs, suggest usability or technical improvements where necessary, and take them forward into development release and App Store submission. We can support your project at any stage, after design, midway through development or following launch.

Are We a Dedicated App Company or a Full-Service Agency?

We are a full-service app development agency with offices in London and Manchester that goes beyond mobile apps. We offer web development, UI/UX design, AR/VR apps, and MVP development. While mobile app development is our core speciality, we cover the full product development for startups and enterprises.

Can you take over or continue developing an existing project?

Yes. We review your existing source code, documentation, database, APIs and third-party services. We then set up and run the project in our environment, assess its quality and provide a clear estimate and timeframe for completing the outstanding features, fixes or improvements.

Do you require full payment upfront, or are payments divided into milestones?

We only require a small upfront payment to allocate your project team. The remaining cost is divided into instalments across the project. You see and review the relevant work before each milestone payment. You may also stop or pause development after a milestone, subject to the agreed terms.

Will we own the intellectual property and source code?

Yes. The custom designs, source code and project assets we create belong to you under the project agreement. You receive access to the designs and source-control repositories from the beginning. Third-party or open-source components remain subject to their respective licenses.

Do you provide post-launch support and ongoing maintenance?

We do not disappear after launch. We provide monitoring, maintenance, bug fixes, security updates, compatibility upgrades and continued feature development. As a guide, projects below £50,000 should allocate approximately 20% of the development cost annually for maintenance, with the percentage typically reducing for larger projects through our app support and maintenance.

Do you sign a non-disclosure agreement before discussing a project?

Yes. Once your initial consultation is scheduled, we can provide our NDA prior to the meeting. It protects the ideas, documents and confidential business information you share with us. The confidentiality obligations continue after development has ended in accordance with the NDA’s terms.

Can I hire dedicated mobile app developers for my project?

Yes, you can hire dedicated mobile app developers for your project. We give access to a team that works exclusively on your project. We have a team for augmentation, allowing you to monitor the process without the overhead of full-time hiring.

Are your mobile app developers based in the UK?

Yes. We have offices in London and Manchester and deliver mobile app development services to businesses across the UK.

How long does it take to build a mobile app in the UK?

It takes 6 weeks to 6 months to design, develop and launch a mobile app in the UK. A simple app usually takes 6 to 12 weeks, while a moderately complex app typically takes 3 to 6 months. The exact timeframe depends on the app's scope, features, platforms and integration requirements.

What is a cross-platform application, and when should we choose one?

A cross-platform application runs on iOS and Android with a single codebase, reducing development time and cost. We recommend it when you need faster delivery or a budget-friendly approach for your application.

Does Intelivita Offer Web Development Along with App Development?

Yes, Intelivita offers full-scale web development alongside mobile app development. Our web development services include website design, custom web development, e-commerce & shopify web development, CMS-based websites, UI and UX development, and backend development. These services allow businesses to align their web platforms with mobile applications under one development partner.

What Is Mobile App Development?

Mobile app development is a process of designing, building, testing and launching applications for iOS and Android devices. It involves UI/UX design, frontend, and backend development, API integration and maintenance to ensure your app performs well.

Do you offer fixed-price or hourly-rate app development models?

We offer fixed-price and hourly-rate pricing models, depending on the scope and requirements of your project. Fixed-rate works best for well-defined projects, while hourly-rate models suit long-term development needs.

How do you start a mobile app development project?

Start a mobile app development project by defining your app’s purpose, target audience and features, then choosing a development approach (native, hybrid, or cross-platform) based on your budget and timeline. From there, wireframe your UI and set up your development environment, with regular testing on real devices.
