We design and build iOS and Android apps for mid-size and large companies: customer apps, field and workforce apps, and the mobile side of systems you already run, released to the stores and kept working through every operating system update.

The first version is the part everyone plans for. Then the operating system updates, a store review rejects a release, the app has to work with no signal in a warehouse, and the backend it depends on changes underneath it.
An app is a product with two stores, thousands of device combinations and users who never update. Building it like a website is how it ends up with one-star reviews six months in.
So we plan the release process, the offline behaviour and the backend contract before the first screen, and we stay on the app after launch.
Six kinds of mobile work. Most companies need an app and the backend it talks to.
Three ways to put software in someone’s pocket. The right one depends on what the app has to do, not on fashion.
| Web app | Cross-platform app | Native apps | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fits when | Occasional use, no device features, no store presence needed | One codebase for both stores, standard device features | Heavy device use, best performance, platform-specific design |
| Offline | Limited | Good | Best |
| Cost shape | Lowest, one build for every device | One codebase, two store releases | Two codebases to build and maintain |
| The real risk | Users expect an app and do not find one | Edge cases where one platform behaves differently | Two apps drifting apart over time |
If people use it occasionally at a desk, a web app is often the honest answer. Build a mobile app when it is used on the move, every day, or needs the device.
Six decisions that are cheap before the first build and expensive after the first release, whoever builds the app.
“Redlio Labs successfully delivered the project within schedule; they met all of our requirements. Their quality designs and in-depth knowledge of technology were key elements of their work.”

Three cases where we will recommend something else:
A mobile app earns its cost when it is used on the move, every day, or needs the camera, location or offline work a browser cannot give.
Step 1 of 5
We map your workflows, systems, and constraints with the people who use them every day, before anything is scoped. For mobile: who uses the app, where, how often, and what it does with no signal.
Discovery
Step 2 of 5
You get a scope, a timeline, and a price that hold. Architecture decisions are made and documented before code starts. Platforms, operating system versions and the backend APIs are agreed and priced.
Scope and plan
Step 3 of 5
Senior engineers deliver in planned stages, with working software demonstrated at every step, not a reveal at the end. Test builds on real devices for your team from the first stage.
Build in stages
Step 4 of 5
Data migration, training, and a production cutover planned around your operations and your calendar, not ours. Store review, staged rollout and crash monitoring live before the release is widened.
Launch
Step 5 of 5
The team that built your system stays on it: monitoring, support, and the next improvements on one roadmap. Operating system updates and the next versions planned on one roadmap.

Why the usual vendor checklist cannot separate software companies, the three tests that can, the signals that predict trouble, and the questions to ask before you sign.
Why MVP cost depends on the question it answers, how a prototype, an MVP and a full product differ, which parts to build to last, and the questions that set an MVP quote.
Most organisations already run both custom and off the shelf software. The decision that costs money is the boundary between them: who owns the data model, what a vendor release breaks, and what it costs to change your mind.
If something here does not answer it, ask the founder directly.

It depends on the platforms, the offline behaviour, the backend the app needs and the integrations, far more than on the number of screens. We scope those first and price against them, so the number holds.
Months for most first versions, planned in stages with test builds on real devices along the way. Store review adds days to each release, which we plan for rather than hope around.
Cross-platform, one codebase for iOS and Android, fits most business apps. Native apps fit heavy device use, the best performance, or design that follows each platform closely. We recommend per app, after discovery.
Building apps for staff or business customers rather than the general public: field service, approvals, inspections, sales and ordering. The difference is the requirements around them: single sign-on, device management, audit trails, and integration with the systems the business already runs.
You do. The app is published under store accounts in your name, and the code and documentation transfer to you.
Yes. Apps need work every year to keep up with operating system updates, and the team that built yours keeps it working and plans the next versions.
Tell us who will use the app, where, and what it connects to. You will talk to the people who would build it.
