A mobile app gives your customers or your team a dedicated, always-available interface to your service.
A mobile app gives your customers or your team a dedicated, always-available interface to your service. Whether you are a startup building an MVP to validate an idea or an established business giving your customers a better experience, Vizible designs and builds iOS and Android applications that work properly — on both platforms, from the first version.
| APP TYPE | DESCRIPTION | EXAMPLE USE CASE |
|---|---|---|
| Startup MVP | First working version of a mobile product, scoped to the core use case to validate and iterate | On-demand service app, peer-to-peer marketplace, booking platform |
| Customer-Facing App | Your brand's app — loyalty, booking, service management, account portal — for iOS and Android | Restaurant loyalty app, clinic appointment app, property portal |
| Booking and Service App | Appointment booking, service request, scheduling and availability management for customers or staff | Salons, clinics, delivery services, rental businesses |
| Membership and Community App | User accounts, membership tiers, content access and in-app engagement tools | Gyms, clubs, professional networks, alumni platforms |
| Internal Business App | Staff-facing mobile tool for field teams, sales reps or warehouse operations | Field service management, stock counting, route planning |
| AI-Enhanced Mobile App | In-app assistant, smart search, personalisation or AI-driven content recommendations | Research tools, learning apps, recommendation platforms |
| APPROACH | DESCRIPTION | WHEN WE RECOMMEND IT |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-platform development | Single codebase deployed to both iOS and Android — faster to build, less expensive to maintain | Most business apps, MVPs, standard feature sets |
| Native iOS (Swift) | Built specifically for Apple hardware — best performance for device-intensive features | Apps using camera, sensors, AR, high-performance graphics |
| Native Android (Kotlin) | Built specifically for Android — full access to Android hardware and platform features | Android-specific enterprise deployments, hardware integrations |
| UAE CONTEXT | DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATION |
|---|---|
| Arabic language support | Right-to-left layout, Arabic UI text, bilingual app store listings — confirmed during scoping |
| UAE App Store compliance | Both Apple App Store and Google Play have UAE-specific content and payment requirements — reviewed during build |
| UAE payment gateway integration | In-app payments via Telr, Checkout.com, PayTabs, Apple Pay UAE, Google Pay — scoped per project |
| UAE data protection law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) | App data collection, storage and user consent flows built in compliance with UAE PDPL |
| High smartphone penetration in UAE | UAE has one of the highest smartphone penetration rates globally — mobile-first product strategy makes strong commercial sense |
| Push notification regulations | Notification permissions and marketing use subject to UAE consumer protection rules — opt-in flows built correctly |
We document the user flows, feature set, platform requirements and integrations. Platform choice (cross-platform vs. native) is confirmed at this stage.
UI design for iOS and Android — screen layouts, navigation, interaction states. You review and approve before any code is written.
Frontend, backend API and integrations built to specification. AI features integrated where in scope.
QA on a range of iOS and Android devices, screen sizes and OS versions. Performance, usability and edge-case testing before submission.
App store listing, screenshots, descriptions and submission to Apple App Store and Google Play. Support through review and approval process.
Mobile app development cost depends on platform choice, feature complexity, AI components, third-party integrations and design requirements. A cross-platform MVP with a focused feature set costs considerably less than a native app with complex integrations. Vizible provides a fixed-scope cost estimate before any commitment. Book a free scoping call with your requirements and we will give you a clear figure.
A cross-platform MVP with a defined feature set typically takes ten to sixteen weeks from scoping to app store submission. Native builds and more complex products take longer. Timeline is confirmed as part of the scoping process, not after development has started.
Yes. Vizible prepares the app store listing, screenshots, descriptions and metadata and supports the submission process. App store developer accounts (Apple Developer Program, Google Play Console) must be registered in the client's name — Vizible can advise on this during scoping.
Yes. Vizible builds the full product — frontend mobile app, backend API and database, and any third-party integrations required. You receive a complete, working product, not just an interface.
You do. All code, designs and assets are owned by the client. Vizible does not retain any ownership or licensing rights over delivered work.
Yes. Post-launch updates, feature additions and bug fixes are available on a retainer or per-project basis. App stores require regular updates to maintain compatibility — Vizible can handle this on an ongoing basis.
Yes. Vizible can assess your current app and scope AI feature integration as a standalone project — in-app assistant, smart search, personalisation or data summarisation.
We can build iOS first and add Android in a subsequent phase. Cross-platform development is generally more efficient from the start, but single-platform builds are viable — particularly for Apple-focused markets or when testing an idea quickly.
