Mobile App Development
A well-built mobile app puts your business directly in your customers’ hands. Whether you need a customer-facing e-commerce app, an internal operations tool, or a consumer product, we build mobile applications that are fast, reliable and designed to deliver measurable business results.
Technology choices
Choosing the right technology is the most consequential decision in mobile app development. We help you make the right call based on your requirements, budget and long-term goals — not on what is trendy.
React Native. React Native lets you build native mobile apps for iOS and Android from a single JavaScript/TypeScript codebase. It delivers near-native performance, access to device APIs and a mature ecosystem of libraries. We use React Native for most cross-platform projects because of its excellent developer tooling, large community, strong corporate backing from Meta, and the ability to share code with React web applications. If you already have a React web app, React Native is the natural extension.
Flutter. Google’s Flutter framework uses Dart to compile to truly native code on both platforms. Flutter excels in custom UI-heavy applications where pixel-perfect design consistency across iOS and Android is critical. Its widget-based architecture makes it fast to build beautiful, animated interfaces. We recommend Flutter when your app’s visual design is a primary differentiator or when you need consistent rendering across every device.
Progressive Web Apps (PWA). A PWA delivers app-like experiences through the browser — no App Store required. PWAs work offline, support push notifications, install to the home screen and load near-instantly through service workers and caching strategies. For e-commerce businesses, a PWA can dramatically increase mobile conversion rates without the cost of developing and maintaining separate native apps. We build PWAs using modern frameworks like Astro, Next.js and Nuxt.
Native iOS and Android. When performance, hardware integration or platform-specific features are non-negotiable, native development in Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android) delivers the best results. Native is the right choice for apps that use augmented reality, advanced camera features, Bluetooth peripherals, background processing or complex animations. The trade-off is higher development cost and longer timelines, since each platform requires its own codebase.
What we build
E-commerce apps. Mobile commerce accounts for over 70% of online shopping traffic in Norway. We build shopping apps with seamless product browsing, search, filtering, wishlists, cart management and checkout — integrated with your existing WooCommerce, Magento or headless backend. Norwegian payment methods including Vipps and Klarna are built in from the start. Push notifications for order updates, abandoned cart recovery and personalized offers drive engagement and repeat purchases.
Business and internal tools. Not every app is customer-facing. We build internal tools for inventory management, field service operations, order picking, delivery tracking and employee communication. These apps connect to your existing systems through APIs and reduce manual work, paper processes and errors.
Consumer apps. For startups and product companies, we build consumer-facing apps from concept to launch. This includes user research, UX design, backend architecture, API development, authentication (including BankID and social login), analytics integration and App Store submission.
API integrations. A mobile app is only as good as the data and services behind it. We design and build robust API layers that connect your app to ERP systems (Tripletex, Visma, PowerOffice), CRM platforms, payment processors, shipping providers (Bring, Postnord), inventory systems, and any third-party service your business depends on. We use REST and GraphQL depending on your requirements and ensure proper authentication, caching and error handling.
Mobile UX and design
A beautiful interface means nothing if users cannot accomplish their goals quickly and intuitively. Our design process starts with user needs.
User research. We identify who your users are, what they need to accomplish and where existing solutions fall short. This research informs every design decision and prevents building features nobody uses.
Prototyping and testing. Before writing production code, we create interactive prototypes in Figma and test them with real users. This catches usability problems early, when they are cheap to fix, rather than after launch when they cost customers.
Performance-first design. Mobile users are impatient. We design interfaces that render instantly, respond to touch within 100ms and never make users wait without feedback. Skeleton screens, optimistic updates and progressive loading create the perception of speed even when network conditions are poor.
Accessibility. We follow WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines to ensure your app is usable by everyone, including users with visual, motor or cognitive disabilities. This is not just ethical — it is a legal requirement under Norwegian anti-discrimination law and expands your potential user base.
App Store Optimization (ASO)
Getting your app into the App Store and Google Play is only half the battle. Being discovered is what drives downloads. We handle ASO as part of our development and launch process.
Keyword research. We identify the search terms your target users actually use when looking for apps like yours, in both Norwegian and English.
Metadata optimization. App title, subtitle, description, keywords and category are optimized for maximum search visibility while accurately representing your app’s value proposition.
Visual assets. App Store screenshots and preview videos are designed to communicate your app’s key benefits within seconds. First impressions determine whether a user taps “Download” or scrolls past.
Ratings and reviews strategy. We implement smart in-app review prompts that ask satisfied users to rate your app at the right moment — after a positive experience, not during onboarding.

Frequently asked questions
Should I choose React Native, Flutter or a native app?+
It depends on your requirements and budget. React Native and Flutter let you build for both iOS and Android from a single codebase, reducing development time by 30-50%. Native development (Swift/Kotlin) is the right choice when you need maximum performance, advanced hardware access or platform-specific features like ARKit or Android widgets. For most e-commerce and business apps, cross-platform delivers excellent results at a lower cost. We assess your needs and recommend honestly.
What is a PWA, and is it enough for my business?+
A Progressive Web App is a website that behaves like a native app — it works offline, sends push notifications, can be installed on the home screen and loads instantly. PWAs are ideal when you want app-like functionality without the cost and complexity of App Store distribution. They are particularly effective for e-commerce, content platforms and internal business tools. However, if you need deep hardware integration, advanced offline capabilities or maximum App Store visibility, a native or cross-platform app is the better choice.
How long does it take to develop a mobile app?+
A focused MVP with core functionality typically takes 8-12 weeks. A full-featured app with backend, integrations, authentication and polished UX takes 12-20 weeks. Complex apps with real-time features, payment processing and multiple user roles can take 16-28 weeks. We build in iterative sprints, so you see working software every two weeks and can adjust priorities along the way.
How much does it cost to develop an app in Norway?+
A simple app with basic functionality starts from NOK 150,000. A standard business app with backend, authentication and integrations ranges from NOK 300,000 to 600,000. Enterprise apps with complex features, multiple user types and high-performance requirements can exceed NOK 800,000. We provide detailed estimates after understanding your requirements and always recommend starting with an MVP to validate your concept before investing in the full build.
Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?+
Yes. We manage the entire submission process, including App Store Optimization (ASO) with keyword research and metadata, screenshot and preview video preparation, compliance with Apple and Google review guidelines, and ongoing updates to maintain compatibility with new OS versions. We also set up analytics and crash reporting so you have visibility into app performance from day one.
