Mobile apps
Native-feeling apps for iPhone and Android, built with cross-platform frameworks where they fit and native code where they do not. We will tell you which is which, and why.

Exhibition no. 1 · Apps you can hold
Interfaces, hung with care.
Appbase Studio is an app and interface studio. We design and build mobile and web applications, help you through the app stores, and stay on after launch to keep things working.

Publishing and support
App Store and Google Play submissions, review responses, OS-update testing and a sensible plan for what happens after launch day.
Look closerExhibit B · A note from the curators
Playful on the surface. Rigorous underneath.
Good apps have character — a moment of delight when a list refreshes, a tone of voice that sounds like a person. But character only works on top of things nobody notices: accessible contrast, clear error messages, sensible offline behaviour, and a build you can update next year without starting again.
What we offer is a clear process, written estimates, and work you own outright.
Wall label: we prefer fixed-scope phases with a written brief over open-ended retainers, so you always know what the next payment buys.

Are you ready for the app stores?
Our launch planner checks fourteen things that commonly delay a first submission — privacy labels, test accounts, screenshots, age ratings — and gives you a copyable to-do list. It runs entirely in your browser.
