In a market crowded with mobile developers, many create apps but only few meet challenges. We do. Baseline features and bold innovations. End-to-end development and target support for critical stages. Enterprise-grade and consumer-facing solutions. Backed by hard-earned technical expertise you won’t just find anywhere, *instinctools’ custom mobile app development services are designed to meet the real demands of your users, your business, and your product.
Delivering a successful mobile product takes the right calls and consistent execution at every stage. We offer a full range of mobile application development services, from discovery to long-term maintenance, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Mobile application development consulting services help teams, even those who feel their app vision is set, guard against costly detours by:
Prior to any time or money going into development, we collaborate with you to uncover the actual business challenge a mobile app should address, identify your target audience, and define what success looks like for you along with a path to get you there.
If it’s your first mobile app, with fresh ideas aimed at new markets, skipping the MVP is almost always a gamble. Having a near-complete, well-crafted app well before release will let you validate core features, gauge user interest, and test product-market fit, all without burning through resources. Now with AI on our side, we do it faster than ever without sacrificing quality, so you can launch ahead of the pack and pivot quickly if and when needed.
Oh, if only launching your app meant the job was done. Release is just the spark. What keeps the fire burning is ongoing maintenance, app performance optimization, updates, bug fixing, adding what’s missing, and making sure your app stays visible and valuable to users. We handle all of it to ensure your app keeps generating ROI long after its first release.
As soon as your product vision and project plan are on paper, we start building out wireframes and clickable UI prototypes. In just a couple of days, you can test key flows with users or stakeholders, spot overlooked details, and refine the initial concept while it’s still wallet-friendly and pain-free to course-correct.
From the first commit to a fully functional mobile app, our team works off the project roadmap outlined during the discovery:
Not every app needs a fresh start, but it does need to evolve. If your mobile app is falling behind in performance, UX, or features, a smart redesign can deliver a serious impact without starting from the ground up. Since 2000, we’ve modernized dozens of legacy digital products of all kinds, including mobile apps, redesigning them to meet the required benchmarks. Revamp navigation, ship long-requested features, or freshen up the look – we’re up for every to-do on your list.

Whatever your use case, we shape your custom apps to match the goals and context they’re meant for. Our portfolio covers mobile apps that power enterprise workflows, serve millions of customers daily, and, sometimes, do both within a single product.
Count on solid security, compliance-first design, performance that scales across thousands of employees, and smooth integration with your ERP, CRM, legacy systems, etc. We design with offline use, role-based access, and long lifecycle maintenance in mind, so the app fits right into a team’s day-to-day tasks, keeping office staff, field technicians, frontline teams, and remote workers connected and enabling work to get done, wherever it’s happening.
We craft consumer apps that do more than look good. They convert, engage, and grow with your user base. Whether you’re building for ecommerce, streaming, mobility, travel, wellness, or lifestyle, *instinctools’ mobile developers focus on the things that make or break user experience: fast load times, intuitive onboarding, seamless payments, real-time updates, and responsive design for every screen size.
If your business serves both enterprise users and consumers, we know how to bring those worlds together. Our teams design and build multi-mode solutions that support distinct experiences for each user group, be it field workers logging maintenance updates, sales reps checking inventory in real time, or customers booking appointments and tracking orders.
From role-based access and tailored feature sets to deep integrations with internal systems and customer-facing services, we ensure both tiers get exactly what they need, all within a single, coherent app without any security, performance, or usability compromises.
Already know what platform your app will run on? We’re fluent in all major SDKs to bring your vision to life. Still weighing options? We’ll help you choose what fits best, technically and strategically. Wherever your app will operate, expect solid architecture, on-time delivery, and zero surprises.
While going native takes more time and resources compared to hybrid or cross-platform solutions, it often gives you just as many gains in performance and UX, particularly for apps with complex business logic and demanding requirements. With hands-on experience in Kotlin, Java, and the Android SDK, our mobile developers optimize your apps for speed, smooth visuals, and efficient resource management.
When the budget or time is tight to run separate native tracks for iOS and Android, and an app’s complexity is moderate, we often recommend building from a single codebase to target both iOS and Android at once. Using React Native or Flutter, *instinctools custom mobile app developers create lean yet reliable cross-platform mobile apps with near-native performance.
Looking to move fast without burning through your budget? Flutter lets us build once and launch on both iOS and Android when speed-to-market is critical. With Google and a thriving global community behind the toolkit, it’s designed for speed, stability, and serious scale.
With React Native, we reuse up to 90% of the code across platforms, so that budget and time will no longer limit your ideas. This approach delivers cost-effective applications that look and feel native on both Android and iOS.
Enterprises turn to our native iOS development expertise when there’s no room for compromises on speed, memory efficiency, or user experience. We build high-performance apps that tap into everything iOS has to offer – Face ID, Apple Pay, HealthKit, and more – all wrapped in a polished, pixel-perfect interface.
When simplicity delivers, why complicate? If your app doesn’t need heavy native features, complex data syncing, or a highly customized UI tailored separately for iOS and Android, PWAs stand out as the best option. Offline support and frictionless handling of spotty connections add to their appeal. We help companies craft progressive web apps that deliver broad reach, bypassing app store gatekeeping.
When your app focuses on content delivery or simple interactions rather than heavy, resource-intensive features, we build a single hybrid solution that runs smoothly across multiple platforms avoiding excessive development costs associated with native mobile apps.
The expectations for the quality of the initial product were very high. I think *instinctools did a great job ensuring those expectations are met. We met the developers we were going to be working with and it quickly became apparent that they are very qualified and were able to deliver the vision that we had from our side for the product. They clearly told us what they were going to do, and if there were questions or problems along the way, they clarified them really quickly thanks to transparent communication.
We had a tight delivery deadline and *instinctools has been able to find another developer and assign him to our project from one day to another. And we’ve been able to successfully deliver this project. When the partner is good, things are just getting done. And that was the case with *instinctools.
The quality has been good. It’s been on the expected level: things come on time, we have a good visibility on the things that *instinctools developers are doing and performing for us, communication is good. Wherever we see that we need some more exra resources, we have found *instinctools to be a good partner in helping us out on those areas.
I’ve been impressed by the available skillset, the flexibility to ramp up resources quickly, and the scalability to extend development teams on short notice. I look forward to continue collaboration with *instinctools and their contribution to our projects.
People at *instinctools are quite tech heads, which I like. They have used very advanced libraries, advanced techniques, advanced coding paradigms. So the advantage is that we get reusable code, that we get well-testable code, we get well-maintained code.
The *instinctools team exhibits the flexibility and professionality required for young companies. You can rely on their tested structures and processes that integrate nicely with your internal workflows. Being able to grow your team quickly with experienced professionals that start delivering value immediately and without a long interview process is a huge help. And personally, you will be working with a team of kind and interesting people.
The team is dependable when it comes to managing time and finances, consistently staying within the designated budget. We’re pleased with *instinctools. Their business analysts are exceptional. They serve as the spokespeople between technology and business, representing both sides effectively.
Instinctools is good at understanding the technical issues – once an issue is outlined, they do not need repeated explanation. They also do not simply accept a proposed solution, but they think about it and propose a better solution. I was really impressed by the custom interface they built for us – we outlined the requirements, and they implemented them in a user-friendly way that makes the interface a pleasure to use.
Instinctools does deliver on time and budget. The company proactively asks how they can support our efforts and provide ideas how to help us with very good candidates with expertise that either we requested or that instinctools identified to be missing.
The team demonstrated effective project management, timely delivery, and responsiveness to our needs. They established open communication to facilitate ongoing dialogue and held regular sprint meetings to keep stakeholders informed and engaged throughout the development process.
We deliver apps that seamlessly inhabit the entire OS ecosystem, including wearables, Smart TVs, and in-car systems. Regardless of how your users connect, we make sure their experience feels natural and effortless.
Every swipe, tap, and glance matters. That’s why our wearable apps are built to be fast, featherlight, and always in sync, whether they’re tracking vitals, guiding workouts, or triggering smart actions. We deliver native performance on watchOS and Wear OS, with real-time sensor handling, Bluetooth sync, and power-saving architecture baked in.
For content platforms or consumer brands, we build TV apps with adaptive streaming, custom players, and DRM-ready infrastructure. Navigation is remote and lag-free, playback is fast, and the UI stays responsive. Our team designs solutions across Android TV, Tizen, and webOS.
Distraction-optimized apps for Android Automotive, Apple CarPlay, and custom IVI systems are also part of our expertise. Media, maps, or connected vehicle dashboards – our apps are engineered for low-latency, hands-free use. We integrate voice control, sync with vehicle data (CAN bus, OBD), and support offline modes via edge caching. IVI solutions built for our clients pass all compliance gates and prioritize driver safety without sacrificing UX.
Often, *instinctools is brought in after projects go sideways. That’s because where others rely on improvisation and fall short, our well-defined, coherent mobile app development process, responsible delivery framework, and proven modern practices stand firm even under pressure.
While others are just kicking the tires on AI, we’ve made it part of the team, speeding up the delivery cycle and cutting development costs where possible. With the heavy lifting off their plates, our mobile experts work faster and focus on what really counts: oversight, strategic thinking, and solving high-impact problems.

Lead DevOps Engineer
With AI handling much of the project’s infrastructure monitoring, we’ve shortened deployment cycles by 40% and ship updates quicker without compromising system stability.
Some mobile apps need more than baseline features. Advanced automation, image processing, hardware synchronization, transaction verification – you name it. We build a capability layer, the one powered by the latest technologies, to make it all work reliably inside your product.
Teaming up with *instinctools, you can drive your app forward through ML-driven embedded analytics, personalized recommendations and content feeds, tailored notifications, predictive search, smart autocomplete, fraud detection, anomaly alerts or basically any artificial intelligence feature that drives value for your business.
Enable your app to interpret their surroundings in real time and respond intelligently. To optimize results in terms of performance and privacy, we help you decide when inference should run on-device versus in the cloud. For sensitive data like images of people or private documents, we ensure on-device processing, transparent user consent, secure transmission, and compliance tailored to your needs.
Using proven IoT protocols and platforms, we architect mobile apps for real-time and offline usage, secure pairing and communication, and an intuitive, seamless user experience that feels natural even for users with zero technical background. We’ve built around the usual pitfalls like laggy sync, clunky pairing flows, and battery-heavy background processes to make every IoT-enabled interaction feel purposeful, responsive, and seamlessly integrated into the app experience.
Where decentralized control and tamper-proof records are critical, we help our clients connect their mobile apps to public blockchains via optimized APIs or deploy private ledgers tailored for enterprise needs. We handle on-chain and off-chain data flows, optimize transaction throughput, and implement secure key management to ensure reliable and efficient blockchain integration.
Whether as a central offering of your product or a standout edge over competitors, we craft immersive, scalable XR experiences tailored for next-generation audiences. Our experts are choreographing how content behaves in motion, in context, and in 3D space across unpredictable real-world environments.
Although NFC is a baseline in many mobile apps, making it work reliably across devices, in the background, and under strict security constraints is anything but simple. That’s where we come in. We handle safe communication and fallback logic for devices or OS versions with limited or inconsistent NFC support on both iOS and Android, so it just works, every time.
Your app should be loved – not feel like a tedious chore. That’s why every mobile project we take on comes with our own strict set of non-negotiables. Regardless of scope or budget, we bring the same high bar of quality, usability, and performance to every product we design.
Few things damage a brand more than a data breach making headlines. We build information security into every layer of your app, from end-to-end encryption across data transit, storage, and processing to strict access controls, resilient API design, code-level obfuscation, and regular security audits. So there’s just no room for leaks.
Forgettable or frustrating? Not on our watch. Instinctools’ designers craft UX that feels effortless, looks sharp, and speaks your brand’s language in every pixel. Tastefully bold, trend-aware, and built to delight your users while making your competitors quietly grit their teeth – that’s the level of interfaces you get when opting for our custom mobile application development services.
Working through compliance and industry-specific regulations for dozens of brands, we’ve mastered the shortcuts that make this complex process faster and far smoother than you’d expect.
For your app to load fast and stay stable regardless of traffic spikes, device type, or geo specifics, our developers:
If you’re going the route of hiring a mobile app development company, expect a medium-complexity project to start around $30,000 and climb toward $300,000 as scope and requirements grow. Building in-house usually runs higher, especially if the right expertise isn’t available or is tied up with other priorities.
From what we’ve seen over the years, simple app development typically takes 1-3 months, medium complexity lands in the 3-6 month range, and high-complexity builds can stretch from 6 months to over a year. That’s how it went down before gen AI. In our clients’ projects, we now assemble teams 3.5x faster, onboard new members 2.4x faster, and identify documentation gaps up to 24x faster, all thanks to using AI throughout the entire SDLC efficiently and responsibly.
That’s a whole topic on its own. But at the very least, make sure your development team encrypts sensitive data properly, secures APIs with token-based authentication, and avoids storing credentials or keys on the device. Ask how they handle reverse engineering risks, client-side validation, and compliance – those answers will tell you if you’re in safe hands.
If you’re looking to boost your in-house team while staying fully in control, we can bring in the right experts within days, you only pay for actual hours, and scaling up or down is easy. Need a fully managed team with the right mix of skills? We assemble one that’s all-in on your project, with full transparency and zero micromanagement on your end. And for large-scale initiatives, we can set up an entire development hub that works as an extension of your organization.
Focus on service quality, cost tolerance, talent availability, proven track record, delivery discipline, and the ability to meet compliance requirements seamlessly. For a thorough walkthrough on choosing the right development team, take a look at our full guide.
