One app for iOS, Android and web — launch faster, spend less
Ship a single cross-platform codebase that feels native on every device. Expo & React Native let you reach all users without tripling your budget.
Why Choose Expo & React Native?
Expo has become the go-to framework for mobile app development in 2026. Used by giants like Microsoft, Shopify, Discord, and thousands of companies worldwide, it enables truly native applications from a single TypeScript codebase.
At Appik Studio, we adopted React Native from its early days and have accumulated over 10 years of experience with this technology. We've watched the ecosystem mature and evolve into the solution of choice for demanding companies that want speed without compromising quality.
Our Mobile Expertise
One codebase, all platforms
Develop for iOS, Android, and the web simultaneously. With React Native and Expo, we share up to 95% of code across platforms. Result: you reduce costs by 30 to 40% compared to separate Swift/Kotlin native development, while maintaining a native, fluid user experience.
Guaranteed native performance
React Native compiles to native code. Your users will see no difference from an app built with Swift or Kotlin. Smooth 60fps animations, full access to native APIs (camera, Bluetooth, geolocation, NFC), and exemplary responsiveness.
Instant updates (OTA)
With Expo Updates, deploy fixes and new features without going through Apple and Google stores. Your users receive updates in real-time, allowing you to iterate quickly and respond to market feedback.
Mature and sustainable ecosystem
10 years of React Native, 8 years of Expo. A massive developer community, battle-tested libraries for every use case: Bluetooth, camera, in-app payments, push notifications, geolocation, biometric authentication, and more.

Our Mobile Development Process
1. Consultation and scoping
We analyze your project during a free consultation: business goals, target audience, key features, technical constraints. Together we define the MVP scope.
2. UX/UI Design
Our designer creates wireframes then high-fidelity mockups on Figma. Every screen is designed to maximize engagement and user satisfaction.
3. Agile development
2-week sprints with regular demos. You follow progress in real-time and can adjust priorities at each iteration.
4. Testing and quality
Unit tests, integration tests, testing on real devices (iOS and Android). We guarantee a stable and performant application before each release.
5. Deployment and store submission
Publication on the App Store and Google Play Store. We handle screenshots, descriptions, ASO keywords, and the review process.
6. Support and maintenance
Security updates, compatibility with new iOS/Android versions, crash monitoring, feature evolution. Your application stays performant over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does mobile app development cost? At Appik Studio, expect from CHF 25,000 for a functional MVP, up to CHF 150,000+ for complex applications with advanced integrations (AI, IoT, payments). Every project is unique — contact us for a personalized quote.
How long does it take to develop an app? An MVP can be delivered in 2 to 3 months. A full-featured application typically requires 4 to 6 months. With Expo and React Native, we develop for iOS and Android simultaneously, significantly accelerating the timeline.
Will my app work as well on iOS as on Android? Absolutely. React Native compiles to native code for each platform. The user experience is identical to a natively developed application. We test on real iOS and Android devices to guarantee impeccable quality.
Can I update my app without going through the stores? Yes, thanks to Expo Updates (OTA). Content and business logic updates can be deployed instantly. Only native code changes require a new store submission.
