Mobile Application Development
Native performance across all platforms
We build mobile applications that deliver exceptional user experience on iOS, Android, and web platforms. Native performance with shared codebases that reduce development time while maintaining platform-specific optimizations.
iOS App Development
Native iPhone and iPad applications built with Swift and platform-specific features.iPhone users have the highest spending power and engagement rates of any mobile platform. But they also have the highest standards because they expect apps that feel like Apple built them. We create sleek iOS experiences that users actually want to keep on their home screen, not bury in folders.
How we get it done:
  • Secure Swift development with iOS SDK optimization
  • Apple Human Interface Guidelines implementation
  • Face ID, Apple Pay, and Siri integration
  • TestFlight beta testing and App Store submission
Android App Development
Native Android applications optimized for diverse devices and user experiences.Android owns 71% of the global mobile market, but most companies only build for the premium 20%. We develop native Android apps in Kotlin that work beautifully across the entire ecosystem, from budget phones in emerging markets to flagship devices. When it makes strategic sense, we use Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile to share business logic while maintaining native performance on each platform.
How we get it done:
  • Secure native Android development with modern frameworks
  • Material Design implementation across all screen sizes
  • Multi-device testing from budget to flagship phones
  • Google Play optimization and staged rollouts
Progressive Web App Development
Web applications that work like native mobile apps with offline capabilities.Why wait weeks for app store approval when you can launch immediately? Progressive Web Apps deliver native app experiences through the browser with push notifications, offline access, and home screen installation. No gatekeeping, fees, or update delays of traditional app stores.
How we get it done:
  • Service worker implementation for offline functionality
  • Home screen installation and push notifications
  • Native app performance through web technology
  • Cross-platform compatibility without app stores
Mobile Backend Development
Scalable server infrastructure and APIs designed for mobile applications.Mobile apps have unique demands like offline sync, push notifications, and location tracking that standard web backends can't handle properly. Your users expect apps that work instantly, everywhere, even when their connection drops. We've built backends that handle millions of requests for ride-hailing platforms and real-time collaboration tools. Your mobile app will work smoothly whether users have perfect WiFi or spotty cell coverage.
How we get it done:
  • Build mobile-optimized APIs that sync data even when users go offline
  • Set up real-time notifications that reach users instantly across all their devices
  • Create auto-scaling infrastructure that handles traffic spikes without breaking
  • Implement security protocols and data encryption that protect user information
  • Optimize performance so your app responds quickly no matter where users are located
Real-Time Location & Fleet Apps
GPS tracking, mapping, ride hailing, and offline-first transportation applications.Whether you're building the next ride hailing platform or optimizing delivery logistics, location apps require offline-first architecture and bulletproof reliability. We've built these systems and understand the high-performance development challenges.
How we get it done:
  • Offline-first GPS tracking and geofencing
  • Route optimization, even with multiple pick ups and drop-offs
  • Deep experience with Google Maps, HEREMaps, ArcGIS SDK, Pelias
  • Driver-passenger matching and fleet dashboards
  • Real-time messaging for coordination

Build mobile apps that define categories, not follow trends

Most mobile apps blend into crowded marketplaces with generic experiences. We design applications that create new user behaviors and set industry standards. Mobile development that builds businesses, not just features.

Testimonials & recognition
What our customers tell us
From top-rated consumer applications to mission-critical enterprise mobile solutions, our mobile development creates exceptional user experiences that drive business success. We've helped apps achieve featured placement and millions of downloads across app stores.
“Over the pandemic, they helped save and optimize cost as well in smart ways... in the early days of lockdown, our revenue plummeted by something like 95%. White Widget brought down costs by more than 60%, and they did that fairly quickly.”
Product & Marketing HeadMotorcycle Ride-Hailing Company
I was really impressed by their UX/UI expertise. White Widget is also incredibly professional. They are not afraid to take the time to clear up requirements and specifications before diving into the main development work
Wimbie S.CTO, Baby Product E-Commerce Store
They always wanted to find the best solution. We didn't have a lot of experience in Android app development, and we wanted a partner to offer their input. White Widget was very good at providing advice on best practices on how to build an Android app.
Senior DeveloperSoftware Solutions Developer
We are very happy with the app that White Widget developed for us. White Widget is definitely good value for the money.
Dustin C.Founder, Loyalty App
I was impressed by White Widget's ability to iterate and problem solve on the go. They offer solutions instead of just waiting for directives.
David NavaretteSony Music
They basically rebuilt our whole ride-hailing platform, which at the time was servicing upwards of 200,000 bookings a day — in the span of 10 months. Where possible, they’ve gone the extra mile.
Walter W.Product Head, Ride-hailing Co.
The most important result is that our clients are very happy with the app. Most of our customers have to go through two or three days training, which is a lot of cost for them. With this app, they just pick it up and start using it. It's a very intuitive app, so they were very happy with it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should we build native apps for iOS and Android or use cross-platform development?

Cross-platform development provides faster time-to-market and shared maintenance, while native development offers maximum performance and platform integration. We recommend based on your specific requirements, timeline, and budget.

How do you ensure mobile apps perform well across different devices and OS versions?

We test across multiple devices, OS versions, and network conditions. Performance optimization includes efficient code, image optimization, and progressive loading. Applications work reliably across the full spectrum of user devices.

What's your approach to mobile app security and data protection?

Mobile security includes secure data storage, encrypted communications, secure authentication, and protection against reverse engineering. We implement security frameworks appropriate for your data sensitivity and compliance requirements.

How do you handle app store submission and approval processes?

We manage the complete app store submission process including metadata optimization, screenshot creation, compliance review, and approval coordination. Our experience ensures smooth approval across iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

Can mobile apps integrate with existing business systems and databases?

Yes, mobile applications can connect to existing CRM, ERP, databases, and APIs through secure integration layers. We design mobile architectures that extend your current technology ecosystem rather than replacing it.

How do you optimize mobile apps for app store visibility and downloads?

App Store Optimization includes keyword research, compelling descriptions, engaging screenshots, and positive review strategies. We design app store presence that maximizes organic discovery and conversion.

What's the difference between Progressive Web Apps and native mobile apps?
