Shared product flow
For accounts, forms and a catalogue, ask the team to show the same complete journey on both platforms. Specify the backend and web tools that support it.

Mobile App Development Services
Mobile products people want to return to.
Turn a useful idea into a clear mobile experience. We bring product design, application engineering, and the backend together around the journeys that matter.

Review the interface, then use the case study to discuss the workflow and the systems behind it. These are our portfolio products; your project needs its own scope and acceptance criteria.

01
Design the complete journey
Mobile users need to understand the next action without navigating a complicated interface. We plan the main workflow alongside onboarding, permissions, account recovery, notifications, and payment or subscription journeys where needed.
The choice between a shared codebase and platform-specific work follows the product’s needs. Device capabilities, offline behaviour, performance, accessibility, and maintenance all belong in that decision.
- Consumer and subscription applications
- Marketplace and community experiences
- Business and field-service tools
- AI features within mobile workflows
02
Review working software throughout delivery
A project begins with a brief, a first-release scope, and designs for the essential screens. Delivery milestones should produce working builds that the project team can review. Acceptance criteria keep feedback tied to agreed behaviour.
Testing covers the supported devices and important states, including interruptions, poor connectivity, rejected permissions, and failed requests. Store submission responsibilities and the material needed for release are included in the plan.
03
Prepare for life after the first release
An app requires maintenance as platforms and dependencies change. We agree the ownership of store accounts, source code, backend services, and documentation before handover. Ongoing support and future development are scoped to your needs.
Our owned portfolio includes Baby Astro, Cardboom, and other consumer products. Review the product examples to see how the interface and underlying workflow fit together, then discuss the specific requirements for your app.
iOS · Android · Cross-platform development
One product journey. Two platform checks.
Commission an iOS and Android app around the task people need to complete. Cross-platform apps can still need platform-specific code. Agree what can be shared, what needs separate work, and what the first working build must demonstrate.

- The first journey on the agreed iOS and Android devices.
- Recovery after a denied permission, interruption or lost connection.
- Named owners for store accounts, review access and ongoing updates.
Before we build
Questions before starting your project.
Does mobile app development include the backend and store release?
The proposal identifies the interface, backend, integrations, supported devices and store-submission responsibilities. We agree which parts Brainbaby Labs delivers and which your team provides. Reviewable builds, acceptance criteria and account ownership belong in the scope; an app-store approval date cannot be guaranteed.
How do you estimate software development cost and timing?
An estimate follows the user roles, workflows, existing systems, integrations and release requirements. Share your brief or current application so we can discuss the unknowns and a first milestone. The written proposal sets out assumptions, exclusions and the process for scope changes; a general price range is not a project quote.
Who owns the source code, designs and service accounts?
The project agreement defines source code, design files, data, accounts and third-party components. Handover should include the context needed to operate and change the system. Hosting, monitoring, maintenance and support responsibilities are scoped explicitly rather than assumed to be included in every build.

To be discussed 2. Users and access Who uses it? Which roles, devices or accessibility needs matter? To be discussed 3. One complete first-release journey From the first action to a useful result, including waiting and recovery. To be discussed 4. Existing systems and integrations What already exists? Who owns access? What still needs investigation? To be discussed 5. Release and budget constraints Target window, platforms, spending limit and known dependencies. To be discussed 6. Acceptance and ownership What demonstration proves completion? Who owns accounts, code and operations? To be discussed Questions to resolve with the development team - Agree deliverables, exclusions and acceptance criteria. - Separate build costs from hosting, provider usage and support. - Record ownership, handover and responsibilities after launch.
