App Development

We develop native and cross-platform apps for iOS and Android, covering everything end-to-end from planning and design through ongoing operation.

Challenge

Facing challenges like these?

  • We built an app, but no one uses it — retention keeps coming in low.
  • We want to support both iOS and Android without the cost and effort ballooning.
  • We outsourced development, but constant spec misunderstandings meant what we got didn’t match what we expected.
  • We need a team that can handle post-launch operations, maintenance, and new feature development.
Approach

The VIETIS Approach

01

A development process that starts with UX design

We align on user stories and prototypes before development begins, with design work focused on delivering an app people actually use.

02

End-to-end, from planning to operations

The same team handles requirements definition, design, development, testing, release, and ongoing maintenance — no information is lost in handoffs.

03

AI-driven development that doesn’t trade off speed for quality

We combine a strong delivery track record with hands-on AI expertise to ship apps that reliably work, with quality managed to CMMI Level 3 standards.

Scope of Work

We cover the full spectrum of app development, from native builds to cross-platform solutions.

iOS App Development

Native iOS apps built with Swift/SwiftUI, with full support through App Store submission and review.

Android App Development

Native Android apps built with Kotlin/Jetpack Compose, including Google Play publishing and update support.

Cross-Platform Development

Simultaneous iOS/Android development using Flutter and React Native, delivering high-quality UX while keeping development costs down.

Backend & API Development

Design and development of the server-side systems, REST APIs, and push notification infrastructure behind your app, including integration with existing systems.

UI/UX Design

User research, wireframing, and prototyping to deliver designs that balance usability with visual appeal.

Quality Assurance & Security

Quality management to CMMI Level 3 and ISO 27001 standards, covering everything through security testing and performance optimization.

Development Process

Starting from planning and UX design, the same team carries the project through five well-defined phases.

  1. 01

    Planning & Requirements Definition

    Creating user stories and organizing functional and non-functional requirements, along with competitive research.

  2. 02

    UI/UX Design & Prototyping

    Building alignment through screen design, wireframes, and interactive prototypes.

  3. 03

    Development & Testing

    Agile development with working software reviewed at every sprint, alongside parallel automated and manual testing.

  4. 04

    Store Submission & Release

    Support from preparing App Store and Google Play submission materials through review and publication.

  5. 05

    Operations & Improvement

    Ongoing support for post-launch crash response, version upgrades, and new feature additions.
