Mobile application development
Mobile app development in Dubai: the app sits on the home screen.
A website explains. A web application runs in the browser. A mobile app sits on the home screen — with push, offline work, camera, location and store listing — when the product must live in the pocket, not only in a tab. We work from Noida, India, with clients across the UAE and the Gulf.

What we build
The right kind of app for the job in the pocket
You receive an app people can keep on the home screen. It can be for customers on the App Store and Play Store, or for staff only. iOS, Android, or both.
Native iOS and Android
Separate store builds when the product needs camera, maps, biometrics or the tightest device performance. Two codebases, one product brief.
React Native products
One shared codebase for iOS and Android when screens, API and release cadence are the same. Typical for bookings, catalogues and field check-ins.
Flutter products
A single UI layer when brand control and tablet layouts matter as much as phone layouts. Quoted when the design system must stay pixel-tight on both stores.
Enterprise and field apps
Staff-only installs for inspections, deliveries, clinic rounds or warehouse scans. Roles, GPS and a sync queue — not a public store listing unless you ask for one.
Offline-first products
The user keeps working in a lift, a basement or a rural route. Changes queue locally and sync when the signal returns. Conflict rules are written in the brief.
Tablet and large-screen apps
Clinic desks, kitchen displays and warehouse tablets need a different layout than a pocket phone. We design both, then share the same records.
The app on the devices you receive
One product on the phone and on the desk
The phone in the hero is the kind of screen we ship: a named next visit, times the thumb can hit, and a confirm action that does not hide in a menu. The same records can also sit on a laptop for the person at the desk. Your industry changes the fields. The discipline stays.
Device capabilities
Twelve capabilities that belong in a serious mobile brief
Not every app needs every capability. The quotation names the ones in scope. These are the blocks we reuse so store review, security and sync stay consistent.

The journey on the phone
Six screens every useful app must get right
Users abandon an app that makes them hunt. We design the first-session path before we write production screens: onboarding, sign-in, home, the record they came for, the push that brings them back, and the sync they never have to think about.
-
01
Onboard
Three screens or fewer. Permission prompts wait until they are needed.
-
02
Sign in
Phone, email or SSO. Biometrics after the first successful login.
-
03
Home
The next useful action, not a wall of tiles the user never taps.
-
04
Record
The booking, ticket, visit or scan they opened the app to finish.
-
05
Push
A named event, a deep link, and a quiet hour the user can set.
-
06
Sync
A queue the user never sees. Conflicts resolve by the rule in the brief.
What is included
Store listing, security and handover are not billed as extras
The quotation lists every screen and capability. The items below ship with every mobile-app build unless you ask to leave one out.
- The screens, the roles, and who can see what, inside the app you receive
- Auth with optional biometrics, session expiry and password reset
- Push notifications for the events you name, with a quiet-hours setting
- API contract with the back-end you already run, or a new one we build
- App Store and Google Play listing pack: screenshots, copy and privacy text
- Privacy policy wording that matches what the app actually collects
- Crash and analytics hooks, with events named in the quotation
- Staging builds via TestFlight or an internal Play track
- Tablet or large-screen layout when the brief names it
- English, with Arabic (RTL) and Hindi UI when the brief asks
- Training handover and a 30-day post-launch bug-fix window
- Source, certificates and store accounts handed to you — no lock-in
What you receive
An app on the home screen, ready for the stores you chose
A single-store app can be in your hands in a few weeks. An app for both stores, with offline work and roles, takes longer. You receive the app, not a map of how it was made.
-
App
01. The app itself
A product your customer or your staff can open from the home screen and finish the job there.
-
Stores
02. The stores you need
App Store, Play Store, or a staff-only install. You receive the listing, or the install file, for the ones you asked for.
-
Screens
03. Screens that fit the phone
The job, the next step, an empty day, and a clear message when something fails. Tablet layout when you need it.
-
Work
04. The job the app finishes
Booking, catalogue, field check-in, or the workflow you named. Push, camera, location or offline work when that job needs them.
-
Yours
05. Accounts in your name
Store accounts, certificates and the source are handed to you. The app is not locked to us.
-
Care
06. Updates after you have it
Store updates and crash fixes if you take the care plan. A new screen is later work, with its own price.
Technology stack
React Native, Flutter, PHP and Node — chosen per product
The stack for your app is written in the quotation. Most products ship as React Native or Flutter on the device, talking to a PHP or Node API with MySQL underneath. Native Swift or Kotlin is used when the device feature cannot wait for a shared layer.
React
Node
PHP
MySQL- Flutter
Laravel
Why Nexus for mobile apps
Quoted like a project, built like a product people keep
-
The brief decides the stack
We do not sell one framework to every client. Native, React Native or Flutter is chosen after we know the screens, the stores and the device features.
-
Store policy is part of the build
Privacy text, permission prompts and review answers are written with the screens. We do not discover a policy gap on submission day.
-
Thumb-first, not desktop shrunk
Every primary action is reachable with one hand. Loading, empty and error states are designed. A shrunk website is not an app.
-
Offline is a rule, not a hope
If the brief says the user works without signal, we write the queue and the conflict rule before the first sprint. We do not leave it to the OS.
-
Ships in three languages
English, Arabic (RTL) and Hindi interfaces when the brief asks. Locale, not an afterthought, including store listing copy.
-
You keep the source and the stores
The app, certificates and store accounts are yours. There is no vendor lock-in in the contract. Hosting for the API can sit on your account.
Indicative scope
Three starting points — the quotation names the real price
Price follows platforms, screens, offline rules, store listing and the API the app must talk to. The bands below help you brief. They are not a public rate card.
MVP on one store
iOS or Android
One platform, a short journey, login, the core record and a first store listing. Typical for a booking or catalogue proof.
Brief this scopeProduction app
One platform, live ops
Push, roles, analytics, staging builds and a monitored store release. Typical for clinics, field teams and customer apps that must stay up.
Brief this scopeMulti-platform product
iOS + Android + tablet
Two stores, shared API, offline queue and tablet layouts. Quoted after discovery when both stores and a field device are in scope.
Brief this scopeCommon questions
Questions teams ask before commissioning a mobile app
Do we need a mobile app, or is a website enough?
A website is enough when the visitor only needs to read, enquire or buy in a browser. You need an installed app when the work needs a home-screen icon, push, offline use, camera, location or a store listing. If people only need to log in from a phone browser, a responsive web application is usually the better first product — see Web Application Development.
Native, React Native or Flutter — how do you choose?
We choose after the journey, the stores and the device features are written down. Native Swift or Kotlin when camera, maps or performance cannot wait. React Native when iOS and Android share the same screens and API. Flutter when brand-tight UI and tablet layouts matter on both stores. The quotation names the choice. We do not start from a slogan.
Will you list the app on the App Store and Google Play?
Yes, when the brief asks for a public product. We prepare screenshots, listing copy, privacy answers and the first submission. Store accounts can sit on your organisation. Staff-only apps can skip the public store and use TestFlight or an internal Play track.
How do you handle privacy, permissions and store policy?
We write what the app collects, why, and which permission is asked at which screen — before submission. Camera, location and contacts are requested only when that screen needs them. The privacy page on this site and the listing text stay aligned with the build. We do not invent data uses for advertising copy.
Can the app talk to our existing website or CRM?
Yes. Most mobile products sit on an API the web application already uses, or a new contract we write. Records stay in one place. The phone is another door, not a second database — unless the brief asks for an offline copy with a sync rule.
How long does a typical mobile build take?
A one-store MVP is often 6–10 weeks. A production app with push, roles and a monitored release is commonly 10–14 weeks. A two-store product with offline and tablet layouts is quoted after discovery. Timeline is in the quotation, not assumed from a package name.
Can the app be Arabic or Hindi?
When the brief asks. The studio is in Noida, India. The primary market is the UAE and the Gulf. Arabic can be right-to-left. Store listing copy follows the same languages named in the quotation.
