Mobile app developers: native and cross-platform specialists
Developer profile
A typical app developer at 1902 Software specializes in iOS, Android, or C# for .NET MAUI, and completes structured in-house training in coding standards and UI/UX before touching client projects. Regular code reviews, workshops, and knowledge sharing keep the expertise current with platform updates.
The full-stack advantage. As an app development agency, most of our developers came from web development, so they program both the app frontend and the backend systems behind it. That means better API design, more efficient data handling, code reused between app and backend, and fewer integration surprises.
Your project team
A typical app team includes a technical Project Manager and a design lead, mobile developers in the right specialization, UI/UX designers, QA testers, and backend developers when your app needs them. We don't run fixed rosters: the team is assembled from your project's requirements, and every task is handled by the best person for the task. If your app needs a WordPress landing page, a web developer joins for exactly that.
Your Project Manager is your single point of contact, so developers stay focused on building while communication stays clear and organized.
From concept to launch and beyond
Planning and scoping: we define the concept, the technical requirements, and realistic milestones together; large apps start with Project Scoping.
UI/UX design: interfaces designed for usability and each platform's conventions.
Development: proven architectures, maintainable code, native iOS and Android, or cross platform app development.
Testing and launch: verified across devices and OS versions, then App Store and Google Play submission handled for you.
After launch: the same team continues supporting and improving the app through Continuous Monthly Development, and we recommend small, incremental updates: add a few features, evaluate real user feedback, repeat. Every plan includes the Monthly System Check, a report on the 1st of every month covering crash logs, error logs, API errors, and store warnings, among others, with deeper quarterly checks.
One honest boundary: we don't provide digital marketing services. We build apps that are technically ready to grow; user acquisition campaigns need a marketing partner, and we work smoothly alongside them.
Start small: the MVP approach
When planning a new app, we recommend starting with a minimum viable product: only what's needed to test with early users. You launch faster, get feedback early, avoid building features nobody uses, and test market fit before committing to full scale. Features are then added based on actual user behavior rather than assumptions.
Taking over incomplete app projects
We regularly take over apps started by another developer: we need the source code, access to servers and databases, and the app store developer accounts. A technical Project Manager or architect on our app development team reviews the codebase and infrastructure; we define the remaining work with you in detail, and development continues in structured two-week sprints.
Two ways to work with us
Continuous Monthly Development: Send tasks whenever they arise. With Care, everything runs in writing at one fixed monthly price: no estimates to approve, no cost overruns.
Care Plus gives you everything in Care at its own fixed monthly price, plus up to two hours of meetings per month with a Project Manager or any 1902 Software expert (for planning, advice, and technical discussion), up to two ongoing tasks at a time, and up to two developers working on your tasks at the same time.
Care Ultimate is for ongoing engagements, often across multiple systems, that need close collaboration: a fixed price for every task or group of tasks, approved by you before work begins, people with the right expertise added to your project as your needs grow, and meetings with any 1902 Software expert whenever you need them (billed at the going project management rate for the actual time spent).
Fixed Price Projects: For a single, well-defined app project (a new build, a major upgrade) you get one agreed price for the whole thing, fixed before work begins.
Large projects typically start with a Project Scoping phase at an agreed, prepaid fixed price. The purpose is to precisely define what will be built and to establish the final price. This ensures full clarity for both you and us before development begins.
How we use AI
AI-assisted workflows are part of our developers’ daily practice across coding, testing, and code review, used as practical tools rather than marketing language. Every app is still reviewed, tested, and verified by experienced developers and QA testers before release.
Free, no-commitment
Commonly asked questions
Do I get one developer or a team?
A team assembled for your project: Project Manager, app developers in the right specialization, designers, QA, and backend developers when needed.
Which platforms do you build for?
Native iOS and Android, and cross-platform with React Native and .NET MAUI. We recommend the right approach for your app at the first meeting.
Can you take over an unfinished app?
Yes: source code, server access, and store accounts in hand, we review what exists and continue in two-week sprints, with the remaining work defined and priced first.
Who maintains the app after launch?
The same team that built it, through Continuous Monthly Development, with incremental updates driven by real user feedback.
How is app development priced?
As a Fixed Price Project with the price agreed before development begins; large apps start with a Project Scoping phase that establishes the exact scope and final price.
Do you publish the app to the stores?
Yes. App Store and Google Play submission is handled for you, including the review process and store requirements.
