Native iOS, Android and cross-platform apps for Melbourne businesses, with Privacy Act 1988-aware data practices built into every stage of development.
A mobile app development company in Melbourne designs, builds and ships apps for local businesses, taking a project from discovery through native iOS, native Android and cross-platform development to App Store and Google Play release, with support continuing after launch. Apptechies delivers this through our mobile app development services, with Privacy Act 1988-aware data handling scoped into the build from day one. We don't have a physical Melbourne office today, so Melbourne projects run remotely, backed by the same delivery team behind our mobile app development in Australia.

Native iOS and Android apps, cross-platform builds, PWAs and wearable companion apps, scoped to your actual product rather than a generic template.
A focused MVP app typically runs $25,000 to $60,000 AUD equivalent, while a full-featured app with backend infrastructure can run $150,000+ AUD equivalent. We scope against your actual requirements after a discovery call.
A focused MVP typically takes 10-14 weeks. A full-featured app with backend infrastructure usually runs 20-28 weeks.
We don't have an Australian office today. Our teams work from London, UK, Austin, Texas, and Mohali, India, and our Mohali team provides morning-hours overlap with Melbourne business hours.
We scope the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the 13 Australian Privacy Principles into the app's data architecture during discovery, including Notifiable Data Breaches scheme obligations where relevant.
Yes. We build cross-platform apps with React Native or Flutter when that fits, and go fully native when performance or platform-specific features demand it.
Yes, we're happy to sign an NDA before any detailed discussion of your product or business logic.
It runs from discovery and scoping through UI/UX design, native or cross-platform development, device-lab QA, and App Store and Google Play submission, followed by a post-launch support window. Every two-week sprint ends with a working build you can test, not just a status update.
Platform choice, feature complexity, third-party integrations and how much backend infrastructure the app needs are the main drivers. A focused MVP typically runs 10-14 weeks and $25,000 to $60,000 AUD equivalent, while a more complex build with heavy integrations takes longer and costs more.
Look for a company that can show real shipped apps rather than mockups, quotes a fixed-scope sprint process, and can explain how it will handle Australian data-privacy obligations before you sign. Ask to speak with a past client, not just read a portfolio page.
Native development suits apps that need deep platform integration or maximum performance, such as camera-heavy or offline-first features, while cross-platform frameworks like React Native or Flutter let you ship to iOS and Android from one codebase at a lower initial cost. We help you decide during discovery based on your actual feature list.
Yes. Our software integration services connect mobile apps to CRMs, ERPs, payment processors and other back-office systems your business already relies on.
Yes. Submission to both the App Store and Google Play is included in every build, along with store listing assets, compliance checks and any resubmissions a reviewer requests.
Yes. Our hire a mobile app developer option lets you add senior engineers directly to your own team, billed on the same fixed-scope basis as a full project.
