Mobile apps
Mobile app development with Flutter.
Focused Flutter apps for customers, members and staff. Plan the mobile experience, backend, administration, device requirements and release together.
Develop a mobile application around a task that belongs on a phone: a customer checking progress, a member accessing a service or a staff member recording work away from a desk.
Nimblique Studio builds focused Flutter applications and can develop the backend and administration tools that support them. The mobile interface, data flow and operational requirements are treated as one project, not three disconnected purchases.
Start with the mobile use case
A mobile app should have a clear reason to exist alongside your website or internal systems. That might be a repeated customer interaction, a task performed on location or an experience that needs an agreed device capability.
We define who opens the app, what they need to achieve and what must be available when they return. A customer app and a field-staff app may share data, but their screens, permissions and priorities can be very different.
Plan the whole application
The agreed scope can include account access, navigation, task screens, backend APIs, administration, notifications and specific device features. Where camera access, location, offline use or another capability is needed, it is scoped and tested explicitly.
For example, recording a job visit may involve capturing a note, attaching a photo, saving a draft and submitting it when a connection is available. Each part has different permissions, storage and error-handling requirements. We agree which behaviour belongs in your version rather than promising every mobile feature by default.
Flutter as part of a considered build
Flutter is the proposed mobile-development toolkit. Target platforms and supported devices are agreed for the project, alongside any platform-specific behaviour. A shared implementation does not remove the need to test the experience on the devices that matter.
The backend can provide the application data and business rules, while a web administration area gives the owner appropriate controls. Existing documented APIs can also be used where they meet the agreed requirements.
Reviews before release
Development moves through reviewable builds with representative test accounts and data. Reviews cover the main journey, account states, error messages and the agreed device interactions.
Release planning includes account ownership, required assets, configuration, testing responsibilities and the handover. Preparing an app for submission and obtaining approval from a distribution platform are separate steps. Any submission work is included only when specified in the project scope.
What changes the size of the project?
The number of distinct user journeys, offline behaviour, device features, account types, integrations and release targets all affect the work. An app that displays account information is different from one that collects data offline, synchronises changes and manages payments.
We start with a useful first version and separate later ideas from the agreed delivery. Third-party subscriptions and platform-account costs are identified independently from development fees.
Questions about mobile projects
Do we need a backend as well as the app?
Many project briefs require somewhere to store shared information and apply business rules. We establish whether a new backend is needed or whether an existing documented service can provide it.
Can we manage content or users ourselves?
An administration interface can be included for defined tasks. We specify who has access and which information they can view or change.
Will you publish the app for us?
Release preparation and submission assistance can be scoped. The relevant accounts, agreements and final publishing decisions remain clearly assigned, and external approval is not guaranteed.
Tell us why the task belongs on a phone.
Describe the users, the main action, the target devices and any need for notifications, offline access or device features. That context is more useful at the start than a long feature wish list.
