How to get a phone app made in 5 steps
- You describe your idea: what it does and who will use it
- We sketch the screens together so you see what it will look like
- You get a clear price and delivery date
- The app is built and you try it on your phone every week
- It's published to the App Store and Google Play so anyone can download it
iPhone, Android, or both?
In Turkey most users are on Android, while a large share of paying customers use iPhone. If you want to reach your customers, both are usually built, with the same backend powering both apps. If only your own staff will use it, you can start with a single platform based on their phones.
For technical details: iPhone (iOS) app development and Android app development.
What kinds of apps do I build?
Ordering and booking apps for your shop, loyalty and promotion apps for your customers, counting, service and tracking apps for your field staff, POS and inventory apps, location and map-based apps, camera scanning apps and phone security apps. Examples live on the App Store: Ezan Vakti, iPhone security scan and Kassa mobile POS.
What to watch out for when getting an app built
Agree up front on whose name the app will be published under (it should be your account), whether the source code will be handed over to you, and whether updates and support will be provided after launch. All of these are written into my quotes.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to get a phone app made?
It depends on the number of screens, features like accounts, payments and maps, and whether you want both iPhone and Android. After a short call, you get a clear itemized price within 24 hours.
How long does it take to build a phone app?
A simple first version is usually ready in 4-8 weeks; more features take longer and are delivered in stages.
How do I install the app on my phone?
During development you try it on your phone through an invitation sent to you; once finished, you download it from the App Store and Google Play like anyone else.
Will my app appear under my own name on the App Store?
Yes; the app is published under your developer account, and you get help setting up the account.
I have no technical knowledge at all. Can we still work together?
Yes; we talk without technical jargon, I show you the screens as sketches, and every week you see the working version on your phone.
I'm in another city. Is that OK?
