Mobile App Development Services for Australian Businesses
Australian businesses now expect apps that connect to their own systems and use AI where it helps customers. Our custom mobile app development in Sydney covers both, on native or cross-platform builds.
Custom Mobile App Development
Off-the-shelf software rarely fits the way an Australian business runs, so we design apps around your workflows and your customers. Not sure the idea will fly? We can launch a MVP to test it with real users first, or rebuild an ageing app so it runs properly on current devices.
AI-Powered App Development
We add AI where it saves your customers time, such as an in-app assistant that answers common questions or search that understands plain English. Where it suits, the AI runs on the phone itself, which keeps personal data on the device and helps you meet Australian privacy obligations.
iOS App Development
Native iPhone and iPad apps written in Swift and SwiftUI, giving you the best speed and full access to Apple features such as Face ID and Apple Pay. Every build meets Apple's latest App Store rules, so your launch doesn't stall in review.
Android App Development
Kotlin and Jetpack Compose apps that run smoothly across the wide range of Android phones Australians use, from budget handsets to the latest Samsung and Pixel models. We always target the Android version Google Play currently requires, so your app stays listed and visible.
Cross-Platform App Development
Build once in React Native or Flutter and launch on both the App Store and Google Play, usually for less than the cost of two separate native apps. It's a practical choice for startups and SMEs that need to reach iPhone and Android users from day one.
Enterprise and Ecommerce App Development
We connect your app to the systems behind your business, including your ERP, CRM, inventory and payment platforms, so data flows through without double handling. That covers everything from job apps for staff on the road to shopping apps with loyalty rewards and an easy checkout.
From Plan to Done in No Time
Here is the process we follow so your app fits your business and is ready for real users on day one.

What Makes Us Australia’s Best Mobile App Development Company?
Local Contact, Ongoing Support
Your project is managed through our Barangaroo office, with calls and demos booked around Australian business hours. After launch, the same team keeps your app current as Apple and Google change their rules each year.
Clear Costs Up Front
You get a written estimate once scoping is done, so there are no surprises halfway through the build. Most of our apps land between AUD 25,000 and 120,000, and we'll tell you straight if your idea suits a smaller first release.
Built for Australian Privacy Law
Apps that collect personal information are designed around the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles from the first sprint. That includes the new automated decision disclosure rules, which matter for any app using AI.
A Proven Track Record
We've been building software for over a decade and hold a 5.0 rating on Clutch from 25 client reviews. Barcoo, one of the apps we built, has been used by more than 16 million people.

We Understand Your Questions
A basic app usually costs AUD 25,000 to 50,000. Mid-level apps with logins, payments and integrations run AUD 60,000 to 120,000, and larger platforms cost more. We give you a written quote after scoping.
Most apps take 10 to 20 weeks from design to launch. A focused MVP can ship faster, while apps with many integrations or complex backends take longer.
If your customers use both platforms, a cross-platform build in React Native or Flutter usually costs less than two native apps. Native builds suit apps that rely heavily on device hardware or need top performance.
We design apps that handle personal information around the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. That includes consent flows and secure data storage, plus a response plan for the notifiable data breaches scheme. Under the new automated decision rules, your privacy policy must also explain any automated decisions that significantly affect users, which matters for apps with AI features.
Yes. We offer ongoing support for bug fixes, OS updates and new features. Google Play raises its target API level every year and Apple sets a new SDK minimum each spring, so apps need regular updates to stay listed. Budget roughly 15% to 20% of the build cost a year for maintenance, which is typical across the industry.
We build for iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets, plus progressive web apps that run in any modern browser.
Businesses across Australia hire app developers from our team and work with us through video calls, shared project boards and a fortnightly demo of the latest build.
We have been building software since 2013 and hold a 5.0 rating on Clutch from 25 client reviews. You see a working build every sprint, and the same team stays on to support the app after launch.
