about Who We Are. Get To Know Us Better.

We are a small group of iOS/Android developers and designers based in beautiful Portland, Oregon...

If you are looking for a mobile app developer to bring your project to life, give us the opportunity to earn your business. We love what we do and build great apps, that are beautiful, functional and scalable. We take the time to understand your project and layout a road map before a single line of code is created.

Our objective is to create a valuable, intuitive and amazing mobile experience for your users. Creating a great experience means understanding your objectives, defining a balanced feature set, laying-out a good user flow, and putting it all together with a great user interface design. We allocate enough time to get the user experience right before transitioning into the coding phase.

We implement end to end solutions that encompass business requirements, usability, latest technologies, and back-end data center infrastructure so you can maximize ROI, reduce maintenance cost and realize the full potential of creating a mobile app.

App development is not over after version 1.0. We are here for the long term to help you release, update and maintain your app.

kung fu What We Do. Our List Of Services.

We create native iPhone and Android apps.
If you can describe it, we can build it. We use a three step approach to app development that allows us to be fast and on time.

We listen to you.

Before beginning a project we create a spec, wire-frames and sample screens. This process defines the project so that it starts and ends on time.

Develop, test & document. Our code is always structured, well documented and throughly tested.

In addition to development from start to finish, we are often asked to take over or maintain a project. If you have an existing app and you’re looking for a long term reliable partner, give us a call.

Enterprise Solutions
Apps connect with backend servers to retrieve/process data. A scalable/reliable backend, means a fast/reliable app.

Pricing A frank discussion of app development cost.

Getting a quote on an iOS app can be tricky. There is a huge price disparity between what an individual offshore developer and a big US based firm can quote you. Sometimes, the difference can be so big that it leaves you asking how any of the two can charge what they charge.

The minimum investment for a high quality iPhone/iPad or Android app is around $15,000 and it increases from there depending on the feature set.
To the right are some price guidelines for most apps.

High quality, reliable, scalabe apps are not cheap. Our FAQ may help to answer more questions you have.

Price guidelines for most apps:

$15k High quality basic app

$15k-$25k For high quality apps with more complex logic/screens

$25k-$35k For high quality apps that connect to external server/database/third party APIs

$35k-$45k For high quality apps with all the above and more complex screens.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions.

Which device should we support first iOS or Android?

Most of our clients start with iOS, then port to Android.

Do you take over partially completed apps or offer maintenance for existing apps?

Occasionally. Contact us with more details. We will help if our workload permits.

How long does app development typically take?

Every project is different, but generally it takes roughly 2 months: 3 weeks to spec and wireframe, 2-4 weeks for UI/UX graphic design and 1-2 months of development. Graphic assets and development are generally done in parallel.

Which is better a mobile website or native app?

In our opinion, a native app is faster and delivers a better user experience than navigating a mobile site.

We have a tight deadline, why are some apps rejected by the App Store?

The main reasons apps are rejected are not following the Apple HIG (Human Interface Guidelines ), use of private APIs, Crashes from users denying permissions.

You mentioned good UI/UX, can you give me some well known example apps?

Path, Shopkick, Twitter and Instagram come to mind. Their UI/UX are simple, clean and intuitive.
