A London-founded team designing and engineering native and cross-platform iOS and Android apps for UK businesses, built to UK data-protection standards, from first sprint through App Store launch.
Quick answer: Apptechies is a London-founded mobile app development company building native iOS, native Android and cross-platform apps for UK businesses, with GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 practices built into the architecture from day one, not a compliance checklist applied before launch.
GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 considerations are covered by our compliance and security practices from the first sprint, not retrofitted before launch.
Architectures built on our cloud services expertise across AWS, Azure or GCP that hold up under real UK peak-hours traffic, not just a load-test benchmark.
On-device inference, recommendation engines and generative features built into the app experience through our AI development services in the UK, not bolted on as a chatbot widget.
CRM, ERP, payment gateways and legacy UK banking or NHS APIs connected cleanly through our UK software development services, without brittle middleware hacks.
Plenty of agencies will build you an app. Fewer understand what changes when your users, your data, and your regulator are all in the UK. Founded in London in 2018, we've spent 8+ building products where GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and sector rules like FCA or NHS DTAC guidance aren't an afterthought, they're part of the architecture conversation on day one.
That approach has shipped 600+ solutions across 25+ industries, with a 99% client satisfaction rate, and it's why UK businesses come back for their second and third app rather than shopping around.
We work with businesses across the UK, not just London, and coverage does not depend on a client being near one of our desks. If you would rather scale your own engineering team than outsource the whole build, our hire mobile app developers in the UK service can embed a dedicated engineer inside your existing team instead.
Clients who also need a US presence can work with our mobile app development in Austin, Texas team, since that is a second real Apptechies office rather than a subcontracted partner.
Full-cycle native and cross-platform app engineering, starting with the mobile app consulting work that scopes your platforms and features, through post-launch iteration, built around your users, not a generic template.
An accessibility-first platform providing services and information for people with disabilities and vulnerable groups — smart accessible-path creation and service discovery.
A digital storefront and companion IoT app for HawkEye Innovations, a supplier of EV conversion parts, pairing hardware sales with connected diagnostics.
A fitness platform connecting members with trainers — workout plans, session booking, transformation tracking, and gym discovery in one app.
Movesy has completely transformed the moving and delivery industry thanks to Apptechies. The GPS tracking, dynamic pricing, and route optimisation they built has made our operations incredibly efficient.
Generic app builders can't handle regulated UK data, complex workflows, or the integrations your business actually runs on.
Data minimisation, lawful-basis mapping and encryption-at-rest are architectural decisions we make before writing a single screen, not a pre-launch checklist item.
Every release goes through our quality assurance process against current Apple and Google review guidelines, so submissions do not stall on avoidable compliance rejections.
FCA-aware architecture for FinTech clients building on our fintech app development experience, NHS Digital Technology Assessment Criteria awareness for healthcare apps, we scope regulatory constraints during discovery, not after a rejected audit.
The engineers who scope your architecture are the ones who build and support it, not a rotating cast of junior developers learning on your budget.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in London, with 150+ specialists working across 30+ countries, UK time-zone overlap is the default, not an accommodation.
Named Top Mobile App Developers by TopDevelopers in 2024, based on verified client work, not a self-issued badge.
Every engagement includes a post-launch support window, and most UK clients continue with an ongoing maintenance retainer with the same engineers who built the app, not a support queue.
Our software integration services regularly bridge mobile apps into legacy ERPs, on-premise databases and internal APIs that were never designed for mobile, scoped properly during discovery, not discovered mid-build.
We’re glad to sign an NDA before any detailed discussion, and data-protection architecture is scoped as part of the very first sprint, not an afterthought.
We’ll tell you honestly. Native suits performance-critical or camera/AR-heavy apps; cross-platform suits content and workflow apps where one codebase and faster iteration matter more.
A UK-timezone-overlapping engineering team, sourced through our hire mobile app developers in the UK service, 100% dedicated to your app and reporting directly to you.
Embedded inside your existing team, matching your tools, standups and sprint cadence.
Fixed scope, timeline and budget, ideal for a well-defined app build with a clear deadline.

The questions we hear most from teams hiring a mobile app development team. Don't see yours? Ask us directly on the right.
A focused MVP typically runs $30,000-$70,000, while a full-featured enterprise app with AI features and complex integrations can run $150,000+. The real driver is scope, which is why we quote against your actual requirements after a discovery call rather than a generic range.
Yes. Data minimisation, lawful-basis mapping and encryption-at-rest are architectural decisions covered by our compliance and security practices during the first sprint, not a pre-launch audit item. For FinTech and healthcare clients we also scope FCA or NHS-relevant considerations during discovery.
An MVP typically takes 10-14 weeks from kickoff to App Store submission. A more complex enterprise app with multiple integrations and AI features usually runs 20-28 weeks.
Yes. We regularly take over ageing apps, migrating outdated frameworks, re-architecting for performance and modernising UI/UX, usually without a ground-up rewrite that would put your roadmap on hold.
Every engagement includes a post-launch support window, and most clients continue with an ongoing maintenance and iteration retainer with the same engineers who built the app.
FinTech, healthcare, logistics, on-demand delivery and real estate are where we see the most UK demand, though our 600+ delivered solutions span 25+ industries in total.
Yes. We are happy to sign an NDA before any detailed discussion of your app concept or business logic. Just mention it when you reach out.
Ask to see apps the team has actually shipped and how those apps perform in the App Store or Play Store today, then compare how each proposal handles UK data protection, architecture and what happens after launch, rather than just the headline price.
We start with product discovery and strategy, move through UX-first design, full-cycle native or cross-platform engineering, QA and App Store or Play Store submission, then continue with post-launch support rather than treating launch as the end point.
Yes. Most enterprise apps need our software integration services to connect to a CRM, ERP, payment gateway or an internal API, and we scope that work during discovery rather than bolting it on afterward.
Native, using Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android, suits performance-critical apps or ones leaning on camera and AR features. Cross-platform, using React Native or Flutter, usually suits content or workflow apps where one team shipping to both stores matters more.
Yes. You can hire mobile app developers in the UK to work inside your existing team and codebase on a dedicated basis, or we can run the full project as a self-contained team depending on how you want to staff it.
You own the source code, designs and App Store or Play Store listing delivered under the engagement. We are also happy to sign an NDA before any detailed discussion of your app concept.
Yes. On-device inference, generative AI features and personalisation engines can typically be added to an existing app without a full rebuild, provided the underlying architecture supports it. Our AI development services scope this against your existing app before any work starts.
