FOR MOBILE PRODUCTS THAT DELIVER
Mobile App Development
We build native and cross-platform apps that run reliably, feel great in the hand, and earn their place on your users' home screens.
Apps built to hold up
Whether you are launching a new app, adding a single capability, or rescuing a stalled project, we plug in where you need us and stay hands-on right through to release. You get straight recommendations, tangible deliverables, and a team that stays close through the critical stages.
Mobile Strategy & Discovery
Get clarity before a line of code is written. We nail down the audience, the requirements, and a sensible scope, so your app launches from solid ground. Typical outputs: product scope and MVP definition; platform recommendation (native vs. cross-platform); feature prioritisation and roadmap; effort and cost estimate.
Native App Development (iOS & Android)
We build native iOS and Android apps engineered for speed, rock-solid reliability, and a first-class feel on every device. Typical outputs: production-ready iOS and Android apps; app store submission and release; performance and stability tuning; a maintainable, documented codebase.
Cross-Platform Development
We build cross-platform apps from one shared codebase, getting you to market sooner and keeping maintenance lean, with no visible drop in quality. Typical outputs: shared-codebase app for iOS, Android (and web where it fits); a consistent UI across platforms; faster release cycles; lower long-term maintenance effort.
Backend, APIs & Integrations
We wire your app up to dependable backends and the systems you already run, covering APIs, data connectivity, and integration into your IT landscape. Typical outputs: API design and implementation; integration with existing systems and third-party services; secure data flows and authentication; a scalable backend architecture.
Modernisation & Legacy Replacement
We bring tired apps up to date and retire the legacy pieces holding them back, one release at a time, so users never feel the ground shift beneath them. Typical outputs: modernisation assessment and migration plan; step-by-step replacement of legacy components; risk and dependency analysis; a clear route to a codebase your team can maintain.
Quality Assurance, Operation & Support
We keep releases stable and operations smooth, from testing and app store publishing to maintenance and continued development. Typical outputs: automated and manual test coverage; a CI/CD and release pipeline; monitoring and crash reporting; ongoing maintenance and support.
What our clients say
See how companies experience working with us, from the first idea to a user-friendly digital solution.
DRVN and OR have worked together since the earliest days of DRVN, and the relationship our teams built made the collaboration feel as if we were one company. OR's team was extremely knowledgeable and helped us deliver a very complex rewrite of a legacy connected vehicle system.
OpenResearch proved to be an exceptionally capable and reliable partner on a forward-looking IT project. The cooperation was always positive and I am already looking forward to the next projects.
We are very pleased to work with OR in the implementation of experiments and pilots. I would especially like to emphasize how quickly and thoroughly the entire team works.
Start with a mobile workshop
Hands-on sessions that sharpen your app idea and turn it into a plan you can act on: a scoped MVP, a workable architecture, a modernisation path, or a prototype you can hold.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most often about this service.
Do you build native or cross-platform mobile apps?
Both. We build fully native iOS and Android apps where performance and deep platform integration matter most, and cross-platform apps where a shared codebase is the better trade-off. We help you choose the right approach for your product and budget rather than pushing one by default.
Can you take over or modernise an existing app?
Yes. We take over existing iOS, Android, and cross-platform apps, stabilise them, and modernise the codebase and architecture step by step, so you can keep shipping while we improve the foundation underneath.
Do you also build the backend and integrations behind the app?
Yes. An app is only as good as the services behind it, so we build the APIs, backends, and third-party integrations your app relies on, or connect cleanly to systems you already run.
Ready to build your mobile app?
Send us your idea or your existing app, and we will tell you honestly what it takes.
