01 — Native vs. Cross-Platform Mobile App Development
How a team chooses native iOS and Android versus Flutter and React Native for a real product.
Mobile studio · Partner for product teams
AppVision is a mobile studio for teams who own the product. We ship the app — and the automation and generative AI around it.
Partnership
We partner with product teams — people who own the software they ship — and with startups taking a first product to market. A remote studio for the interface, the architecture, the build, and the automation and generative AI that belong in the product.
Advise
Stack choice, information architecture, and the shape of the interface — before the codebase hardens. We help you postpone the right things, not the convenient ones.
Build
Native iOS and Android, Flutter or React Native, the APIs behind the app, automation, generative AI, QA, and a release you can stand behind. The same people who advised the architecture write the software.
Stay
Reviews, pairing, store updates, and the versions after launch. We fill the mobile gap until you hire — and we stay when the product has users.
Industries
iOS and Android apps for teams whose users are in living rooms, clinics, pharmacies, and airports — wherever those users are. These are the domains we know from the inside.
IoT
Companion apps for the house: lighting scenes, sensors, and home safety — the layer that sits next to well-known consumer hardware and makes the rooms actually respond.
Health
Daily consumer wellbeing — mood, habits, sleep, movement — products built for large audiences who open the app as part of ordinary life, not a hospital visit.
Travel
Reservations, tracking, trip organisation, vouchers, and the automation that used to live in inboxes and spreadsheets — so the agency runs the journey, not the paperwork.
Rx
A working reference for doctors and pharmacists: structured medicine details, local market context, and the knowledge they need at the counter and in the consulting room.
Stack
Native Swift and Kotlin when the product needs to feel inevitable on the platform. Cross-platform when speed-to-market is the brief. Automation and generative AI where they earn a place in the product — not as a slogan.
Services
Advise, then build — or only the part you need. Native or cross-platform. Automation and generative AI when the product needs them. We take software into the stores, then keep it sharp after launch.
Native iPhone apps in Swift — crafted for performance, platform conventions, and App Store quality.
Native Android products in Kotlin, designed for the device landscape your users actually have in their hands.
Flows and interface that start with the user. We can design it with you, or sit in on your design and keep it honest on a phone.
What belongs on the device, what belongs on the server, and a stack that still holds after the second hire. Native vs. cross-platform is a product call, not a preference.
The work that used to live in inboxes and spreadsheets: workflows, integrations, and the systems that run the operation behind the app.
Assistants, drafting, search, and the model layer inside the product — when it earns its place, not as a wrapper around a demo.
The APIs, dashboards, and web layers a mobile product needs to live in the real world.
Testing across devices before release — then maintenance and the versions that follow, so the app stays current as the platforms move.
Studio
Founded in 2022, AppVision is a software studio specialised in mobile app development. We partner with product teams, and with startups, in Europe, the US, Australia, and elsewhere — whose apps leave the building into homes, wellbeing routines, agency desks, and pharmacies — and we stay through launch and the versions that follow.
You get a team that can advise, design, engineer, automate, and ship. Not a slide deck. A partner that treats the product as if it were going into our own pocket.
How we work
01
Users, constraints, and architecture — the calls a small team usually has to make without a mobile lead.
02
Flows and interface that match how people actually use a phone, not a desktop.
03
Native implementation, automation, generative AI where it belongs, and a release you can stand behind.
04
Store updates, platform changes, and the next version of the product.

FAQ
Straight answers if you are looking for a software studio to build an iOS or Android product — or a partner to help decide how.
Yes. AppVision is a software studio specialised in mobile app development. We build native iOS and Android apps, and we also ship Flutter and React Native when a shared codebase is the right call. Web and backend work sits alongside the mobile product when the brief needs it.
Yes. Automation for the operation behind the product — workflows, integrations, the work that used to live in inboxes. Generative AI inside the product when it earns a place: assistants, drafting, search, the model layer. We treat both as software, not as a demo.
Yes. Some briefs are a review, a workshop, or a few weeks of direction: native vs. cross-platform, the shape of the first screens, what belongs on the phone vs. the server. If you later want us to implement, you are not starting from a stranger’s deck.
Native Swift and Kotlin when the product has to feel inevitable on each platform. Flutter or React Native when speed-to-market and one codebase matter more. We pick the stack for the product, not a favourite framework.
Yes. The studio is in Tuzla; the collaboration is remote. We work in English with product teams internationally — Europe, the US, Australia, and wherever the app has to ship. Time zones are handled with overlap for Europe and async for farther west and east.
Discovery and UX, then engineering, QA across devices, and store release. After launch we stay for maintenance and the versions that follow.

Write with the brief — a first version, automation, generative AI in the product, an architecture or UI review, or a remote partner while the team is still small. We work in English, across time zones. We’ll come back with a clear next step.
