What we offer

Our Mobile App Development Services in Leeds

Everything under one roof, so a Leeds business does not have to coordinate separate design, development and support vendors.

Android App Development in Leeds

Android App Development

Kotlin and Jetpack apps tested on the budget and mid-range devices most Android users actually carry, published to Google Play with staged rollouts.

iOS App Development

Swift and SwiftUI apps that follow Apple's design conventions, pass App Store review first time and reach the premium user segment.

One Dart codebase for iOS and Android with pixel-consistent UI — a strong fit when design fidelity across platforms matters most.

React Native App Development in Leeds

Cross-platform apps in TypeScript that share logic with your web product and let one team ship to both stores.

Native App Development in Leeds

Fully native builds where performance, background processing, Bluetooth or camera work demand direct platform access.

App Maintenance & Revamps in Leeds

App Maintenance & Revamps

Taking over an existing app: fixing crashes, upgrading SDKs for new OS versions, redesigning flows and rebuilding what cannot be saved.

Technologies we use

Technologies behind our mobile apps.

We choose the mobile stack per project, not per habit: native Kotlin and Swift when the app lives close to the hardware, Flutter or React Native when one team needs to ship to both stores quickly. Around the app sits the back end, database, push notifications, analytics and crash reporting — the parts that decide whether an app is still healthy a year after launch.

Our development process

Turning ideas into mobile apps that work.

A structured, agile process that keeps your mobile app development project on time, on budget and visible at every stage.

01

Discovery & Strategy

We work through your business goals, target users and the one journey the first release must nail, then agree what success looks like in numbers.

Deliverables: Requirement analysis, user personas, feature roadmap, fixed first-release plan

02

UI/UX Design

Wireframes first, then clickable prototypes tested with real users before a line of production code — changing a screen in Figma costs minutes, in code it costs days.

Deliverables: Wireframes, interactive prototype, final UI and design system

03

Agile Development

Two-week sprints with a working build on your phone at the end of each one, so you see progress rather than hear about it.

Deliverables: Sprint builds via TestFlight and Play internal testing, API documentation

04

Quality Assurance

Automated tests plus manual testing on real devices across screen sizes, OS versions and network conditions, including offline and slow-network cases.

Deliverables: Test reports, device compatibility matrix, performance benchmarks

05

Deployment & Launch

We handle store listings, signing, privacy declarations and review submission for both stores, then roll out gradually so issues surface with a small audience first.

Deliverables: App Store and Play Store release, staged rollout, crash monitoring

06

Post-Launch Support

Crash and usage analytics show what to fix and build next; we handle OS upgrades, SDK changes and feature releases on an agreed cadence.

Deliverables: Maintenance plan, monthly analytics review, feature releases

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

About mobile app development in Leeds, and about working with Drema.

Do you have a team in Leeds?

We work with Leeds clients through one named lead who is your point of contact from kickoff to handover, backed by the same engineering team on every project.

Should our app for Leeds users be native or cross-platform?

Usually cross-platform, with native modules where a feature demands it. Leeds users skew towards recent iPhones and flagship Android devices, so polish, accessibility and platform conventions matter more than squeezing the app onto low-end hardware. We ship both platforms from one codebase and integrate what local users expect — typically NHS login and Spine services; FHIR APIs; and Open Banking APIs.

How long does mobile app development take for a Leeds company?

A focused first release — one core journey on iOS and Android, with login, analytics and store submission — usually takes eight to twelve weeks. Apps with payments, offline sync or hardware integrations take longer. We scope in a short discovery phase and give you a fixed plan for the first release before you commit.

Which Leeds industries do you build mobile apps for?

Most often Healthcare, Professional Services, Banking and Retail, because that is where Leeds's economy is concentrated. We are not limited to those sectors — the engineering transfers — but that is where we can bring the most relevant experience to a first conversation.

Which local systems can you integrate with?

Most Leeds projects touch NHS login and Spine services; FHIR APIs; Open Banking APIs; and Microsoft 365. We integrate with what your customers and staff already use, and we check API access and commercial terms for each before committing to a timeline.

Should we build native or cross-platform?

Cross-platform with React Native covers the majority of business apps at roughly half the cost of two native codebases. Go native when you depend heavily on platform-specific hardware, sustained high-performance graphics, or deep OS integration. We make the call against your feature list and tell you which applies.

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

A focused first version with one strong core loop is typically three to four months including store release. Apps with payments, real-time features or complex offline sync take longer, and we scope those explicitly rather than discovering them mid-build.

Do you handle App Store and Play Store submission?

Yes, including listing assets, privacy declarations, signing and phased rollout. First submissions are frequently rejected on guideline details, so we prepare for review requirements during the build rather than after.

Can the app work offline?

Yes, and for most apps it should. We design a local data layer with sync and conflict handling, so the app stays usable without connectivity and reconciles cleanly when it returns.

Can you reuse our existing backend?

Usually yes. If your web platform already has a solid API we build the app against it, sometimes adding mobile-specific endpoints to reduce round trips and payload size on slow networks.

What happens after launch?

Mobile requires ongoing attention: OS updates, store policy changes and crash fixes. We offer a maintenance arrangement, and we hand over signing credentials and documentation so you are never locked in.
