Stack
Most mobile apps fail not because of bad code they fail because the product was designed for a pitch deck rather than a real user. We build apps the other way around: user research and journey mapping first, architecture second, development third. The result is apps that get retained, not deleted after the first session.
Expando’s mobile development team builds iOS and Android apps for businesses in Pakistan and internationally using React Native and Flutter. From MVP builds for startups to enterprise-grade apps for established businesses, we cover product strategy, UI/UX design, development, App Store submission, and post-launch analytics.
What’s included in every engagement
- Product strategy & user journey mapping defining core features and user flows before any design
- UI/UX design wireframes, high-fidelity screens, interactive prototype for stakeholder review
- React Native or Flutter development single codebase for both iOS and Android
- API development and integration backend, third-party services, payment gateways
- App Store & Google Play submission including store listing optimisation (ASO)
- Push notifications, analytics (Firebase), and crash reporting (Sentry) integrated as standard
- QA testing device matrix testing across iOS and Android versions before submission
- Post-launch support 60-day bug fix window and analytics review included
The question that determines the success of every mobile app is: why would someone open this again tomorrow? If you can’t answer that clearly before development begins, the app will get downloaded, used once, and deleted. Our product strategy process forces that question to be answered in week one before we touch design or code. Everything we build flows from the honest answer.
How we work
Strategy first. Ship every fortnight.
Discovery
01
User research & feature scoping
User interviews, competitor app analysis, feature prioritisation (MoSCoW), and technical architecture decision. We define the MVP scope before any design begins.
Week 1 - 2
Design
02
UX flows & UI design
Low-fidelity user flows, then high-fidelity UI for all screens. Interactive Figma prototype for stakeholder review. Design system documented for development handoff.
Week 3 - 5
build
03
Development in sprints
Two-week development sprints. Internal builds available for testing at end of each sprint. API development and third-party integrations running in parallel.
Week 6 - 12
launch
04
QA, submission & monitoring
Device matrix QA, App Store / Google Play submission with optimised listing. Analytics configured. Post-launch monitoring with weekly crash and retention reports.
week 13 - 16

React Native or Flutter which do you recommend?
Both produce high-quality cross-platform apps. React Native is better if your team is JavaScript-heavy or if you need deep web-native integration. Flutter is better for complex custom UI, animations, or if you need outstanding performance on older devices. We’ll recommend based on your product requirements, not preference.
Can you build an MVP quickly for investor demos?
Yes. We have a specific MVP track that strips the feature set to core user journeys, uses pre-built UI components where appropriate, and targets an 8-week timeline. We can produce a testable, App Store-ready MVP in that window for most product concepts.
Do you do backend development as well?
Yes. We build APIs and backend services in Node.js or Python, and we integrate with third-party services (Stripe, Firebase, Twilio, etc.) as needed. A full-stack app (frontend + backend + deployment) is available as a single engagement.
What does an app cost?
An MVP (core feature set, both platforms, basic backend) typically costs PKR 600,000–1,200,000 depending on complexity. Full-featured apps with complex logic, real-time features, or custom backend systems range higher. We scope carefully and provide fixed-price proposals to avoid scope creep.
Can you take over maintenance of an existing app?
Yes. We take on code audits and maintenance of existing React Native and Flutter apps regularly. We do an initial code review before quoting on ongoing maintenance we want to understand what we’re inheriting.
