KodeBuilder provides custom mobile app development services: we design, build and release iPhone and Android apps around your workflow, together with the back end, admin panel and cloud hosting they need. We work with businesses in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and India, and deliver in phases so the first version reaches users early.
What custom mobile app development includes
A custom app is more than the screens on the phone. To work every day, it needs a back end, a way for your team to manage data and a reliable release process. A typical project covers:
- The app itself: iPhone and Android, designed for the people who use it, including offline use where connections drop.
- Back end and APIs: user accounts, data, business rules and integrations with the tools you already run.
- Admin panel: a web dashboard where your team manages orders, users, content and reports.
- Notifications and live updates: push notifications, status changes and live tracking where the workflow needs them.
- Store release: App Store and Google Play listings, builds, submission and updates after launch.
Apps we build most often
Most of our mobile work is operational software that people use every day, where reliability and battery life matter as much as design:
- Customer apps for ordering, booking, loyalty and account self-service.
- Staff and field apps for sales teams, technicians and store staff who work away from a desk.
- Driver and delivery apps with GPS, job lists and proof of delivery. See driver tracking app development.
- Companion apps for SaaS products so your customers can use your software on the go. See SaaS development.
React Native, Flutter or native: which is right?
We choose the technology during discovery based on your app, your team and your plans, not a fixed house preference:
| Option | When it fits |
|---|---|
| React Native | One codebase for iPhone and Android, fast iteration, and a good fit if your team already uses React on the web. |
| Flutter | One codebase with a highly custom, consistent interface and smooth animation on both platforms. |
| Native Swift or Kotlin | Added for features that need deep device access, such as background GPS, Bluetooth devices or advanced camera use. |
For a detailed comparison, read React Native vs Flutter for business apps.
Mobile apps we already build and run
KodeBuilder also builds and runs its own software products, each with a mobile app or mobile experience. They show the kind of apps we deliver, and their features can be the starting point for your custom app:
- KodeBuilder Commerce: a storefront and mobile shopping app for online stores.
- KodeKitchen: a restaurant ordering app with kitchen queue, delivery dispatch and live GPS tracking.
- KodeBuilder Logistics: a separate driver app for delivery runs and delivery proof.
- KodeBuilder CRM: a mobile CRM for sales teams on the move.
- KodeBuilder Inventory: a stock app for receiving stock and recording sales on the shop floor.
If one of these products already fits, you can start on it with a free plan and add custom features later. If not, we build your app from scratch.
How a custom app project runs
- Discovery: who uses the app, the journeys that must work first, devices, offline needs and integrations.
- Design and architecture: screens, API contracts and how data syncs between the phone and the back end.
- First version: the agreed core journeys, the back end and the admin panel, tested on real devices.
- Store launch: App Store and Google Play submission, crash reporting and analytics.
- Updates: new features in phases, plus the yearly iOS and Android updates every app needs.
How much does a custom mobile app cost?
We send a written estimate after discovery and do not publish a rate card, because two apps with the same idea can differ widely in scope. The main cost drivers are the number of screens and user roles, whether you launch on iPhone, Android or both, offline use, integrations and the back end and admin panel. A single-platform first phase costs less than launching on both stores at once. US work is quoted in USD. For a breakdown of phases and assumptions, see the mobile app cost planning guide.
Working with us from the US, Canada, the UK and Australia
Our engineering team works day to day from Ludhiana and Jaipur in India. The proposal states the communication channel, working-hours overlap and review cadence, and you work directly with the engineers building your app. If a project needs an in-person meeting, a few of our team members can meet clients in the United States. Building in India? See our mobile app development company in India page.

Frequently asked questions
We send a written estimate after discovery and do not publish a rate card. Cost depends on the number of screens and user roles, whether you need iPhone, Android or both, offline use, integrations and the back end and admin panel. A single-platform first phase costs less than launching on both stores at once.
Yes. Most apps are built once with React Native or Flutter and released on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. We add native Swift or Kotlin code where a feature needs it, such as background GPS or Bluetooth devices.
Yes. A custom app usually needs APIs, a database, an admin panel for your team and cloud hosting. We build and host these on AWS, or connect the app to systems you already run.
Yes. We prepare the store listings, signing and builds, submit the app and respond to review feedback. Apple and Google make the final approval decision.
Yes. You own the custom code, designs and store accounts under the agreement. Repositories, build instructions and release notes are part of handover.
