Services

App development services in London

We design and build iPhone, Android, TV and web apps for businesses and founders, along with the backends, payments and dashboards behind them. The same small team that makes our own apps works on yours, from first sketch to store release and the updates after.

What we build

Apps, websites and the systems behind them.

Pick one service or several. Most projects combine an app with a backend and payments, and we can take on all of it.

How we work

Five steps, one team throughout.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We learn your goals, users and budget, then agree scope and a fixed-price proposal.
  2. 02

    Design

    Every screen drawn and tested as a clickable prototype before code.
  3. 03

    Build

    Native apps and the backend, shown to you in working builds as we go.
  4. 04

    Launch

    Store submission, review fixes and release, with analytics in place.
  5. 05

    Look after

    Updates, fixes and new features for as long as you need them.
Proof we ship

Proof we ship: our own apps.

We build and run our own products, so we carry the same costs and risks our clients do: store reviews, payments, support and updates. Ohm, our first app, runs on TV, phone, tablet and computer from one account and one backend. Muvus, an on-demand removals platform in the UK, has been live since September 2026.

Where we work

Who we work with.

Based in London, working with clients across the UK, Europe and worldwide. Most work happens over video calls and shared documents, and we are happy to meet in person in London.

We work with start-up founders building a first product, and with established businesses adding an app, a TV channel app or a customer dashboard to what they already run.

FAQ

Questions about working with us.

Something else? Contact the App29 team.

How much does it cost to build an app in the UK?

It depends on the platforms, the number of screens and what the backend needs to do. After a short discovery call we send a fixed-price proposal with the scope written out, so you know the cost before any work starts.

How long does it take to build an app?

It depends on the scope: the platforms, the number of screens and what the backend needs to do. We agree the scope first, then fix the timeline in the proposal, so you know the release date before any work starts.

Do you build for both iPhone and Android?

Yes. We build native apps for each, in Swift for iPhone and iPad and in Kotlin for Android, sharing one backend and one account system so users get the same service on both.

Do I own the code and designs?

Yes. Once the project is paid in full, you own the code, designs and everything we built for you. We hand over the repositories, store accounts and documentation.

Do you work with clients outside London?

Yes. We are based in London and work with clients across the UK, Europe and worldwide. Most meetings happen on video calls, and we can meet in person in London.

Can you take over an app someone else built?

Yes. We start with a code review to understand the app and its risks, then agree a plan to fix, update or extend it, and look after it from there.
