Hire a Mobile App Developer
Looking to hire a mobile app developer? Here's exactly how the process works, what it costs, and how to get started, from a developer with 15+ years' experience building iOS and Android apps.
Looking to Hire a Mobile App Developer?
If you're hiring a mobile app developer, here's exactly what working with me looks like: a direct line to the person writing your code, over a decade of experience building iOS and Android apps, and a straight answer on cost and timeline before you commit to anything.

How Hiring Works
- Get in touch. Send an outline of what you need built, whatever detail you have. A rough idea is enough to start the conversation.
- Scoping call. We go through what the app actually needs to do, for whom, and by when. This is where native vs. React Native, and fixed price vs. retainer, usually gets decided.
- A real quote. You get a scope and a price, not a placeholder estimate. For a sense of typical ranges before that call, see the full UK app development cost breakdown.
- Build, in the open. Regular check-ins and visible progress, not a black box until launch.
- Launch, and beyond. App Store and Google Play deployment, then ongoing support as the app finds real users and needs, updates.
What You Get
- Direct access to the developer. No account manager relaying messages between you and the code.
- React Native or native, depending on what the project actually needs, not a default answer.
- A team when the project needs one. Most client work runs through Storm Digital, the studio I co-founded, so larger builds aren't limited by one person's calendar.
- Ongoing support after launch. Bug fixes, OS updates and new features, not a handover and disappearance. Already have an app that needs this instead of a new build? See software maintenance & support.
