Mobile App Development for iOS and Android
A mobile app is worth building when your customers or field staff need something a website cannot do well. VLO Labs designs, builds and ships native and cross-platform apps for iOS and Android.
Get a free consultationWe build and operate our own apps on the App Store and Google Play, so we know the full job, including store review, subscriptions and over-the-air updates, as well as the code.
What we build
Cross-platform apps
One React Native or Flutter codebase for iOS and Android when that fits your product.
Native iOS and Android
Swift and Kotlin development where deep device integration matters.
Field and driver apps
Apps for staff on the move, including location, routing and work that happens away from a desk.
Subscriptions and in-app purchases
App Store and Google Play billing connected to your backend.
Push notifications and calling
Real-time features that reach users when the app is in the background.
App Store and Google Play release
Submission, review and ongoing release management on both stores.
Is this the right fit?
- Customers or staff need your service while away from a computer.
- You need device features such as location, camera or push notifications.
- Repeat customers would benefit from something faster than your website.
- You have an existing app that has become hard to update.

Frequently asked questions
Does our business actually need a mobile app?
Not always. If a responsive website covers what your users need, it is usually the better investment. We will give you a straight answer during the consultation.
Should we build native or cross-platform?
Cross-platform suits most business apps and reduces duplicated work. Native can be the better fit for apps that lean heavily on device-specific features. We recommend based on what your app needs to do.
Do you handle the App Store and Google Play submissions?
Yes. We manage submission, store review and release updates on both platforms.
Can you take over an existing app?
Yes. We start by reviewing the current code and tell you whether to continue with it or rebuild parts of it.
